Abdur Rahman bin Abi Laila says that once Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) came to visit Sayyiduna Hasan (may Allah be pleased with him) for his illness. Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him: Have you come with the intention of visiting the sick or to express happiness over his illness? He replied: I have come with the intention of visiting the sick. Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: If you have truly come with the intention of visiting the sick, then I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: When a person visits his Muslim brother who is ill, he walks in the gardens of Paradise until he sits down. When he sits, Allah’s mercy covers him. Then, if he goes in the morning, seventy thousand angels pray for his forgiveness until the evening, and if he goes in the evening, they pray for him until the morning.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) stood in the plain of Arafat during the Farewell Pilgrimage and said: "This is the place of standing, and the whole of Arafah is the place of standing." Then after sunset, he departed, seated Sayyiduna Usamah (may Allah be pleased with him) behind him, and increased the pace of his mount. People began to rush to the right and left, so the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) turned towards them and said: "O people! Adopt calmness and tranquility." Then when he reached Muzdalifah, he combined the Maghrib and Isha prayers and stayed there the whole night. In the morning, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) came to Mount Qazah, stood there, and said: "This is the place of standing, and the whole of Muzdalifah is the place of standing." Then, while walking, he reached the valley of Muhassir, stopped there for a moment, then made his she-camel run swiftly until he had crossed that valley (because it was a place of punishment). Then he stopped his mount, seated Sayyiduna Fadl (may Allah be pleased with him) behind him, and while walking reached Mina, came to Jamrat al-Aqabah and pelted it with pebbles. Then he went to the place of sacrifice and said: "This is the place of sacrifice, and the whole of Mina is the place of sacrifice." Then the narrator mentioned the complete hadith.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Only a hypocrite can hate the Arabs."

Ibrahim Taimi narrates from his father that once Sayyiduna Ali Murtaza (may Allah be pleased with him) while delivering a sermon said: Whoever thinks that we have anything besides the Book of Allah and this scroll in which are written the ages of camels and some details about wounds, which we read, then he is a liar. In this scroll it is also written that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "From 'Ir to Thawr, Madinah Munawwarah is a sanctuary. Whoever introduces an innovation in it or gives refuge to an innovator, upon him is the curse of Allah, the angels, and all people. On the Day of Resurrection, Allah will not accept any obligatory or voluntary act of worship from him. And whoever attributes himself to someone other than his father (calls someone else his father), or any slave calls someone other than his master his master, upon him is also the curse of Allah, the angels, and all people. On the Day of Resurrection, Allah will not accept any obligatory or voluntary act from him either. And the responsibility of all Muslims is the same; if an ordinary person grants protection to someone, it must be respected."

Suwaid bin Ghaflah says that Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) once said: When I narrate to you a hadith from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), then falling from the sky is more beloved to me than attributing a lie to him, and when I say something from someone else, then I am a warrior, and war is nothing but strategies and tricks. I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: Near the Day of Judgment, there will emerge such people whose age will be young and whose intellect will be foolish. They will speak the words of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), but faith will not go beyond their throats. Wherever you find them, kill them, for killing them will be a source of reward on the Day of Judgment.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that on the day of the Battle of Khandaq, 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."

Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said that I used to have a lot of madhi (pre-seminal fluid), and I felt shy to ask about this issue myself. I asked Sayyiduna Miqdad (may Allah be pleased with him) to ask the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about this issue. So he asked about it, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Such a person should perform wudu (ablution)."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) forbade the recitation of the Noble Qur'an while in the state of bowing (ruku') or prostration (sujud).

Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that I once submitted in the presence of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), "O Messenger of Allah! Why do you prefer other families of Quraysh over us?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Do you also have something (to offer)?" I replied, "Yes! The daughter of Sayyiduna Hamza (may Allah be pleased with him)!" So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "She is not lawful for me because she is my foster niece." (In fact, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and Sayyiduna Amir Hamza were foster brothers as well as uncle and nephew to each other.)

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that one day the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was sitting, and in his blessed hand was a stick with which he was scratching the ground. After a short while, he raised his head and said: "The abode of every one of you, whether in Paradise or Hell, is already known and determined by Allah." The noble companions (may Allah be pleased with them) asked: "O Messenger of Allah! Then why should we act?" He said: "Continue to act, for each person will find it easy to do the deeds for which he was created." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) recited this verse of the Qur'an: "So as for he who gives, fears Allah, and affirms the best (truth), We will ease him toward ease. But as for he who withholds, considers himself free of need, and denies the best (truth), We will ease him toward difficulty."
