It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah is gentle, He loves gentleness, and He grants through gentleness what He does not grant through harshness."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever attributes to me a hadith which he considers to be a lie, then he is one of the two liars."

Once, the mention of the Khawarij was made in the presence of Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), so he said: Among them there will be a man who is deformed in creation. If you do not go to extremes, I will tell you the promise that Allah has made, through the tongue of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), to those who kill them. The narrator says: I asked him, "Did you really hear any statement from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding this?" He replied: Yes! By the Lord of the Ka'bah.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the following verse was revealed: «﴿وَلِلّٰهِ عَلَى النَّاسِ حِجُّ الْبَيْتِ مَنِ اسْتَطَاعَ إِلَيْهِ سَبِيلًا﴾ [آل عمران: 97] » , the people asked: "O Messenger of Allah! Is performing Hajj every year obligatory?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) remained silent. After the question was asked three times and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) remained silent, he said: "No, and if I had said yes, then performing Hajj every year would have become obligatory." And in this context, this verse was revealed: «﴿يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَسْأَلُوا عَنْ أَشْيَاءَ إِنْ تُبْدَ لَكُمْ تَسُؤْكُمْ .....﴾ [المائدة: 101] » "O you who believe! Do not ask about things which, if made plain to you, may cause you trouble...... ."

Shuraih bin Hani says that I asked Sayyida Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) a question regarding wiping over the socks, so she said, "You should ask this question to Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him); he has more knowledge about this issue." So I asked Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), and he said, "The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to command us to wipe over the socks for one day and night, and for the traveler, three days and three nights."

The previous hadith is also narrated through this second chain of transmission.

Abdu Khair (may Allah have mercy on him) says that I heard Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) saying: Shall I tell you the name of the best person in this Ummah after the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)? Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddiq and Sayyiduna Umar Farooq (may Allah be pleased with them both).

It is narrated from Abdu Khair Hamdani (may Allah have mercy on him) that I once heard Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) saying (during a sermon): "Shall I not tell you who is the best person in this Ummah after the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)? He is Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him). And shall I tell you who is the best person in this Ummah after Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him)? He is Sayyiduna Umar Farooq (may Allah be pleased with him)." Then he said: "If I wish, I can also tell you the name of the third person." However, he remained silent. We understood that he himself was Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him). I asked the narrator, "Did you really hear Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) saying this?" He said, "By the Lord of the Ka'bah! Yes, (if I am lying) may these ears become deaf."

Abdu Khair, may Allah have mercy on him, says that once Sayyiduna Ali, may Allah be pleased with him, taught us the way of ablution of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. So first, he washed his hands three times, rinsed his mouth three times, put water into his nose, washed his face three times, and said that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, used to perform ablution in this manner.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that on the day of the Battle of the Trench, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "May Allah fill their houses and graves with fire, for they did not let us perform the Asr prayer until the sun had set." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performed the Asr prayer between Maghrib and Isha.
