Tariq bin Shihab says that I heard Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) saying on the pulpit: By Allah! We have no book that we read except the Noble Qur’an, or this scroll which is hanging from the sword that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave to me. In it is detailed the shares of Zakat. The mentioned scroll used to hang from the sword of Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), whose rings were made of iron.

Malik bin Umair says that I was present in the service of Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), when suddenly Sa’sa’ah bin Sawhan arrived and, after greeting, said: O Commander of the Faithful! Prevent us from the things from which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade you. He (Ali) replied: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade us from using gourds, green jars, wooden vessels, and vessels made by hollowing out wood (because wine used to be distilled in them), and also forbade silk, red saddle cloths, pure silk, and gold rings. Then he said that once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gifted me a silk garment. I wore it and went outside so that people could see that I had worn the garment given to me by the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw me, he ordered me to take it off, and sent one part of it to Sayyidah Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) and tore the other part and distributed it among his women.

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 any statement from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about me at the occasion of Ghadir Khumm, let him stand up, and only he should stand who saw the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Upon this, twelve men stood up and said: We ourselves saw that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) held the hand of Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), and we heard him say: "O Allah! Befriend whoever befriends Ali, and be the enemy of whoever is hostile to him. Help whoever helps Ali, and forsake whoever forsakes him." On this occasion, there were three men who did not stand up; Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) invoked a curse upon them and they were afflicted by it.

Abdur Rahman bin Abi Laila says that when Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) heard the muezzin giving the adhan, he would repeat the same words that the muezzin said, and after saying «اَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُوْلُ اللّٰهِ» in response to «اَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُوْلُ اللّٰهِ» , he would also say that those who deny Muhammad (peace be upon him) are liars.

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 because he used to accompany the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) during travels." So I asked Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), and he said that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The traveler is permitted to wipe over the socks for three days and three nights, and the resident for one day and one night."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "If I did not fear hardship for my ummah, I would have ordered them to use the miswak at every prayer time, and to delay the ‘Isha prayer until one third of the night had passed, because when the first third of the night passes, Allah (in a manner befitting His Majesty) descends to the lowest heaven and remains there until the break of dawn. A caller continues to call out: 'Is there anyone who asks, so that he may be given? Is there anyone who supplicates, so that his supplication may be answered? Is there anyone ill who seeks healing, so that he may be healed? Is there any sinner who seeks forgiveness for his sins, so that he may be forgiven?'"

The previous hadith is also narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), its wording is the same but the chain of narration is different.

Someone asked Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) about Witr, whether it is obligatory. He replied that Witr does not have definitive proof from the Noble Qur'an like the obligatory prayers, but its obligation is established from the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and his companions (may Allah be pleased with them), and they always performed it.

Abdu Khair (may Allah have mercy on him) says that once Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) asked for water to perform ablution and said: Where are those people who think that in no situation is it permissible to drink water while standing? Then he took the vessel and drank its water while standing, then performed a light ablution, wiped over his shoes, and said: This is the ablution of a pure person who is not without ablution; this is the way the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to perform ablution.

On one occasion, Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) washed each part of the body three times while performing ablution and drank the leftover water from the ablution, then said: I saw the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) doing the same.
