It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that I was present in the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when the two Shaykhs (may Allah be pleased with them both) were seen coming from the front. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Ali! These two are the leaders of all the elders and youths of Paradise, except for the Prophets and Messengers."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that when I intended to send a marriage proposal for the daughter of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), I thought to myself that I have nothing, so how will this happen? Then I remembered the kindness and compassion of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), so I sent the marriage proposal. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, "Do you have anything?" I replied, "No!" He said, "What happened to that coat of mail of Hatimiyyah which I gave you on such and such day?" I replied, "That is with me." He said, "Then give that." So I brought it and gave it to him.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that once Sayyidah Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) with a request for a servant. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Shall I not tell you something better than that? Say Subhan Allah thirty-three times, Allahu Akbar thirty-three times, and Alhamdulillah thirty-three times, and say any one of them thirty-four times."

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 Almighty loves that believing servant who repents after being afflicted with a trial."

Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said that I used to have a lot of madhi (pre-seminal fluid), and since the daughter of the Prophet (peace be upon him) was in my marriage, I felt shy to ask the Prophet (peace be upon him) about this issue myself. So I asked Sayyiduna Miqdad (may Allah be pleased with him) to ask the Prophet (peace be upon him) about this issue. Accordingly, he asked about this issue, and the Prophet (peace be upon him) said that such a person should wash his private part and perform ablution.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah and Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with them) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If I did not fear hardship for my ummah, I would have commanded them to use the miswak at the time of every prayer."

Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) says that I used to present myself before the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) twice every morning and evening. If I wanted to enter the house of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and he was praying, I would cough. Once, I came at night, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do you know what happened tonight? I was praying when I sensed some movement in the house. I became anxious and went outside, and there was Jibreel (peace be upon him) standing. He said: 'My whole night has passed waiting for you. A dog has entered your room from somewhere, so I could not come inside, because we do not enter a house in which there is a dog, a person in a state of major impurity, or any picture or statue.'"

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No prayer should be performed after the Asr prayer, except if the sun appears clear and bright, then it is permissible."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade me from reciting the Noble Qur'an in the state of bowing (ruku'), wearing a gold ring, silk clothes, and clothes dyed with safflower.
