Ibn Abd Khair narrates from his father: I saw Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) wiping over the upper part of the foot, and he was saying: If I had not seen the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) wiping over the upper part, I would have thought that the lower part is more deserving of being wiped over.

Imam Humaydi (may Allah have mercy on him) states: If this incident is regarding wiping over leather socks (khuffs), then it is Sunnah, and if it is other than the leather socks, then this ruling is "abrogated."

Zayd bin Yathi’ reports: We asked Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him),“With what things were you sent during Hajj?”He replied: I was sent with four things (that is, to make these four proclamations):“Only a believer will enter Paradise; no person will perform Tawaf of the House of Allah while naked; after this year, Muslims and polytheists will not gather together in Masjid al-Haram; and whoever has a treaty with the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), his treaty will last until its appointed term, and whoever does not have a treaty, his respite is four months.”

Ubaydullah bin Abu Rafi’, who was the scribe of Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him), narrates: I heard Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) saying: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent me, Zubair, and Miqdad and said:“You all go and reach the garden of ‘Khakh’ (which is the name of a place twelve miles from Madinah), there will be a woman there, with whom there will be a letter, you all take it from her.”(Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) says) We set out. We rode our horses swiftly until we reached that garden, and there was a woman present. We said: Take out the letter. She said: I have no letter. We said: Take out the letter or we will remove your covering. So she took it out from within her hair bun. We presented ourselves before the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and it was written in it: It was from Hatib bin Abi Balta’ah to some polytheists residing in Makkah, in which he informed them about the Noble Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) departure (towards Makkah). The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: Hatib, what was this? Sayyiduna Hatib (may Allah be pleased with him) submitted: O Messenger of Allah! Do not be hasty regarding me. I am a person who lives among the Quraysh but I am not one of them. The other Muhajirin who are with you, they have relatives there, due to which their families and properties are protected. I wanted, since I have no blood relation with the Quraysh, to do them a favor so that they would protect my relatives. I did not do this out of disbelief, or apostasy from my religion, or being pleased with disbelief after accepting Islam. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: He has spoken the truth to you. Then Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) submitted: O Messenger of Allah! Allow me to strike the neck of this hypocrite. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: He participated in Badr. What do you know? Perhaps Allah, the Exalted, has addressed the people of Badr saying: Do whatever you wish, I have forgiven you. Amr bin Dinar says: Regarding this, the verse was revealed:“O you who believe! Do not take My enemy and your enemy as friends.”Sufyan says: I do not know whether this is part of the narration or the statement of Amr bin Dinar.

Abdullah bin Sakhbara Azdi narrates: Some people were present with Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him). A funeral passed by them, so the people stood up for it. Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) asked: What is this practice? The people replied: Sayyiduna Abu Musa al-Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) commands this. So Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stood up once for this (funeral). He (peace be upon him) did not do this act again.

Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) once stood up for a funeral, then he did not do this act again.

Imam Humaydi (may Allah have mercy on him) states: Sufyan would sometimes narrate this report from Abu Najeeh and Laith, from Mujahid, from Abu Ma'mar. So when we found this confusing, he included Abu Ma'mar in the narration of Ibn Abu Najeeh as well. He would only use the word "haddathana" when each of the two narrators had used the word "haddathana."

The son of Sayyiduna Abu Musa al-Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I heard Sayyiduna Ali ibn Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) send Sayyiduna Abu Musa al-Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) for a certain task and instructed him regarding something about that task. Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said to me: "O Ali (may Allah be pleased with him)! Ask Allah Almighty for guidance and steadfastness. By guidance, I mean guidance to the path, and by the straight path, I mean that you set your arrow straight." Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) also mentioned: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) forbade me from using qassi and red mithrah (types of silk garments), and also forbade me from wearing a ring on this and this finger when taking water. Sayyiduna Ali ibn Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) indicated towards the index finger and the middle finger while saying this.

Imam Humaydi (may Allah have mercy on him) says: Sufyan narrates this narration from the narrator 'Asim, from Abu Bakr, the son of Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him), so it was said to him: Other hadith scholars have narrated this narration from Abu Burdah, the son of Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him). So he said: I have memorized this narration in this way, that it is narrated from Abu Bakr ibn Abu Musa. But if others narrate differently from me, you may include these words: that this narration is from one of the sons of Sayyiduna Abu Musa al-Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him). So it was Sufyan's practice that after this, sometimes he would narrate this narration as being from the son of Sayyiduna Abu Musa al-Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him), and sometimes he would forget, so according to what he had heard, he would narrate it from Abu Bakr, the son of Sayyiduna Abu Musa al-Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him).

Abu Aswad Daili narrates: I heard Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) saying: Abdullah bin Salam (may Allah be pleased with him) came to me when I had already placed my foot in the stirrup. He asked me: Where are you intending to go? I replied: Iraq. He said: If you go there, you will surely be struck by the edge of the sword. Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) said: By Allah, before this I had also heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saying this.

Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "I have exempted you from zakat on horses and slaves."

Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) gave this ruling: Full (paternal) brothers will inherit from one another. Maternal (uterine) brothers will not inherit from one another.

Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) decreed that (the deceased’s) debt will be paid before acting upon the will, even though you people (in the Qur’an) read the mention of the will before the debt. 1 1 (This is a reference to the verse of the Noble Qur’an «من بعد وصية يوصى بها أو دين» .)
