It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) supplicated, saying: «اَللّٰهُمَّ بَارِكْ لِأُمَّتِي فِي بُكُوْرِهَا» "O Allah! Bless my Ummah in their early morning hours."

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 had not gone to extremes, I would have told 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 three times: Yes! By the Lord of the Ka'bah.

Nu’man bin Sa’d says that once we were sitting with Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), he recited this verse: «﴿يَوْمَ نَحْشُرُ الْمُتَّقِينَ إِلَى الرَّحْمَنِ وَفْدًا﴾ [مريم: 85] » “The Day of Resurrection will be when We will gather the righteous before the Most Merciful as a delegation.”And he said: By Allah! They will not be gathered walking on their feet, rather, they will be mounted on such she-camels as no creature has ever seen before, with golden saddles on them, and they will ride upon them until they knock at the gates of Paradise.

Ikrimah (may Allah have mercy on him) says that I returned from Muzdalifah with Sayyiduna Imam Hussain (may Allah be pleased with him), and I heard him continuously reciting the Talbiyah until he had stoned Jamrah Aqabah. I asked him about this, and he said: I had returned from Muzdalifah with my father, and I heard him also continuously reciting the Talbiyah until he had stoned Jamrah Aqabah. And he told me that he had returned from Muzdalifah with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) continuously reciting the Talbiyah until he had stoned Jamrah Aqabah.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man came to the presence of the Messenger and said: O Messenger of Allah! Tell me of a month, besides Ramadan, in which I can fast. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If you want to fast in any month after Ramadan, then fast in the month of Muharram, for it is the month of Allah. In it is a day on which Allah accepted the repentance of a people, and Allah will accept the repentance of a people."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that once some people from the Quraysh came to the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, "We are your neighbors and your allies. Some of our slaves have come to you; they have no inclination towards the religion nor any interest in its understanding. In reality, they have seized our property and wealth and fled. Therefore, please hand them over to us." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him), "What is your opinion?" He replied, "It is true that they are your neighbors." At this, the color of the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) blessed face changed. Then he asked Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) for his opinion, and he also said, "They are indeed your neighbors and allies." At this, the color of the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) face changed (because, in general, this supported the words of the polytheists).

Nu’man bin Sa’d says that a man asked Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him),“Can I recite (Qur’an) during bowing (ruku’) and prostration (sujud)?”He replied: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“I have been forbidden from reciting the Qur’an while in the state of bowing and prostration. When you bow, then glorify the greatness of Allah, and when you prostrate, then make supplication with full attention, for it is likely that your supplication will be answered.”

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "In Paradise, there are such lofty chambers whose inside can be seen from the outside, and whose outside can be seen from the inside." A Bedouin asked: "O Messenger of Allah! For whom are these?" He replied: "For the person who speaks good words, feeds the needy, and when people are asleep at night, stands in prayer solely for the pleasure of Allah."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) supplicated, saying: «اَللّٰهُمَّ بَارِكْ لِأُمَّتِي فِي بُكُوْرِهَا» "O Allah! Bless my Ummah in their early morning hours."

Abdullah bin Saba says that once, while delivering a sermon, Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: By the One who splits the grain and creates the living being! This beard will surely be dyed with the blood of this head. The people said: O Commander of the Faithful! Tell us his name and address, we will wipe out his lineage. He said: I beseech you by Allah, do not kill anyone except my killer. The people said: When you know this, then appoint your deputy over us. He said: No, I will leave you in the same state as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) left you.
