The previous narration is also reported from Sayyiduna Zayd bin Arqam (may Allah be pleased with him) through this second chain of transmission.

Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that when Hasan was born, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came and said: "Show me my son, what name have you given him?" I replied: Harb. He said: "No, his name is Hasan." Then when Husayn was born, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came and said: "Show me my son, what name have you given him?" I again replied: Harb. He said: "No, his name is Husayn." The same happened at the birth of the third son, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) changed his name to Muhsin, then said: "I have named these children after the children of Harun (peace be upon him), whose names were Shabbar, Shabbir, and Mushbir."

Abu Al-Tufail says that someone asked Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), "Tell us something that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) told you especially." He replied, "The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not tell me anything privately that he concealed from other people, except that there is something in the sheath of my sword." Saying this, he took out a scroll from it, in which it was written: "The curse of Allah is upon the one who slaughters an animal in the name of other than Allah, the curse of Allah is upon the one who gives shelter to an innovator, the curse of Allah is upon the one who curses his parents, and the curse of Allah is upon the one who steals the boundary markers of the land."

Abdullah bin Yasar says that once Amr bin Harith came to visit Sayyiduna Imam Hasan (may Allah be pleased with him) during his illness. Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him: "You have come to visit Hasan in his illness, but what about that which you are hiding in your heart?" Amr said: "You are not my Lord that you may do as you wish with my heart." Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Even so, we will not refrain from advising you. I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: 'When a Muslim goes to visit his sick brother, Allah appoints seventy thousand angels for him who pray for his forgiveness every moment of the day until evening, and if he goes in the evening, they pray for him every moment of the night until morning.'"

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Three types of people are exempt from accountability: (1) The sleeping person, until he wakes up; (2) The insane person, until his sanity returns; (3) The child, until he reaches puberty."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to say at the end of Witr: «اَللّٰهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِرِضَاكَ مِنْ سَخَطِكَ وَأَعُوذُ بِمُعَافَاتِكَ مِنْ عُقُوبَتِكَ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْكَ وَلَا أُحْصِي ثَنَاءً عَلَيْكَ أَنْتَ كَمَا أَثْنَيْتَ عَلَى نَفْسِكَ.» "O Allah! I seek refuge in Your pleasure from Your displeasure, in Your pardon from Your punishment, and I seek refuge in You from You. I cannot enumerate Your praises; You are as You have praised Yourself."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that once a silk garment was sent as a gift to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) from somewhere. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent it to me. I wore it, but when I saw signs of displeasure on the blessed face of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), I distributed it among my women as head coverings.

Abu Hassan says that whenever Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) would give a command and people would come and say, "We have done such and such," he would say, "Allah and His Messenger have spoken the truth." One day, a person named Ashtar asked Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), "The sentence you say has become very widespread among the people; is this something that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) specifically advised you about?" He replied, "The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not give me any advice specifically, apart from the people. However, what I heard from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), I wrote in a scroll and kept it in the sheath of my sword." The people insisted that Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) show them that scroll. He took it out, and it was written in it: "Whoever invents a bid'ah (innovation), or gives refuge to an innovator, upon him is the curse of Allah, the angels, and all people. Neither his obligatory nor his voluntary deeds will be accepted." It was also written in it: "Sayyiduna Ibrahim (peace be upon him) declared Makkah as a sanctuary, and I declare Madinah as a sanctuary. The area between its two boundaries is sacred; its grass should not be cut, its game should not be frightened away, and nothing fallen there should be picked up except by one who will announce it to its owner. No tree should be cut here, except if a man feeds his animal with it, then that is a different matter. And weapons should not be raised here for fighting." It was also written in it: "The lives of Muslims are equal among themselves. If even the lowest of them grants protection to someone, his protection should be respected. And Muslims are united against others like a single hand. Beware! No Muslim should be killed in exchange for a disbeliever, and no dhimmi should be killed as long as he is under the contract and abides by its conditions."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) would go into bowing (ruku‘), he would recite this supplication: «اَللّٰهُمَّ لَكَ رَكَعْتُ وَبِكَ آمَنْتُ وَلَكَ أَسْلَمْتُ أَنْتَ رَبِّي خَشَعَ سَمْعِي وَبَصَرِي وَمُخِّي وَعَظْمِي وَعَصَبِي وَمَا اسْتَقَلَّتْ بِهِ قَدَمِي لِلّٰهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ.» "O Allah! I have bowed for You, believed in You, submitted to You; You alone are my Lord. My ears, my eyes, my mind, my bones, and my tendons are humbled before You, and my feet are also humbled for the sake of Allah, Lord of the worlds."

Abdur Rahman bin Abi Laila says that once Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) made the people swear in the courtyard of Kufa and said: Whoever heard the statement of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) at the occasion of Ghadir Khumm, let him stand up, that "Whoever's master I am, Ali is also his master." At this, twelve Badri Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) stood up and all of them testified that we all heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) at the occasion of Ghadir Khumm saying about Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him): "Does Allah not have a right over the believers?" All replied: Why not! He said: "Whoever's master I am, Ali is also his master. O Allah! Befriend whoever befriends Ali, and be the enemy of whoever is hostile to him."
