It is narrated from Abu al-Tufayl Amir bin Wathilah that he said: I heard Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) stand up and say: "Ask me before you are unable to ask, for after me you will not be able to ask anyone like me." At this Ibn al-Kawwa' stood up and asked: "Who are those about whom Allah has said: 'Those who exchanged the favour of Allah for disbelief and settled their people in the home of ruin' [Surah Ibrahim: 28] ?" Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "They are the hypocrites of Quraysh." Then he asked: "And who are those about whom He said: 'Those whose effort is lost in the life of this world while they think that they are doing well in their deeds' [Surah al-Kahf: 104] ?" Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "The people of Harura' (the Khawarij) are among them." This hadith is sahih (authentic) with a high ('ali) chain, and Bassam bin Abd al-Rahman al-Sayrafi is one of the trustworthy narrators of Kufah whose hadiths are collected, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Amr Dhu Murr that Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said regarding this saying of Allah Almighty: "And they settled their people in the home of ruin" [Surah Ibrahim: 28] : "These are the two most wicked clans of Quraysh: Banu Umayyah and Banu al-Mughirah. As for Banu al-Mughirah, Allah cut off their root on the day of Badr; and as for Banu Umayyah, they have been given respite until an appointed time." The chain of this hadith is sahih (authentic), but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that she said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) recited this verse: "On the Day the earth will be changed into another earth, and the heavens too, and they will all come forth before Allah, the One, the Irresistible" [Surah Ibrahim: 48] . I asked: "Where will the people be on that Day?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "On the Sirat (the bridge)." The chain of this hadith is sahih (authentic), but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.
