Shuraih bin Hani (may Allah have mercy on him) says that I asked Sayyida Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) a question regarding wiping over the socks, so she said: "Ask this question to Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), he has more knowledge about this issue because he used to accompany the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) during travels." So I asked Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), and he said that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The traveler is permitted to wipe over the socks for three days and three nights, and the resident for one day and one night."

It is narrated from Imam Sha’bi, may Allah have mercy on him, that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, cursed ten types of people: the one who consumes usury, the one who gives usury to others, the one who writes usurious transactions, the witnesses to usurious transactions, the one who performs halalah, the one for whom halalah is performed, the one who withholds zakat, the woman who tattoos, and the woman who gets herself tattooed. And the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, forbade wailing.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: "Whoever, while performing ghusl in a state of major impurity, leaves even an area equal to a single hair where water does not reach, Allah the Exalted will deal with him in such and such a manner in Hell." From that very moment, I became hostile towards my hair.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had a large blessed head, a complexion that was white with a reddish tinge, and a thick beard. His joints were very strong, his palms and feet were full, and there was a long line of hair from his chest to his navel. The hair on his head was thick and slightly curly. When he walked, he would take small steps, and it seemed as if he was descending from a slope. He was neither very tall nor very short in stature. I have not seen anyone like him before or after him, peace and blessings be upon him.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to continuously recite the Qur'an to us except when he was in a state of janabah (major ritual impurity).

Abu Burdah (may Allah have mercy on him) says that once I was sitting with my father when Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) came. He greeted us with salam and entrusted my father with some matter of the people, and said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) instructed me: "Ask Allah for guidance, and by guidance, take it to mean guidance of the path, and ask Allah for correctness and soundness, and by that, take it to mean the straightness of an arrow." Also, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade me from wearing a ring on the index or middle finger. The narrator says that Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) was standing, so I could not properly understand the gesture of his fingers. Then he said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade me from red-striped and silk garments. We asked: O Commander of the Faithful! What is meant by "Maisarah" (this word is used in the hadith)? What is this thing? He said: Women used to make something to place on the saddles of their husbands' mounts (which is called a saddlecloth), that is what is meant. Then we asked what is meant by "Qassiyah"? He said: The garments from Syria in which patterns like citron are made. Abu Burdah (may Allah have mercy on him) says that when I saw garments made of linen, I understood that these are the ones.

Maisarah (may Allah have mercy on him) and Zadhan say that once Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) drank water while standing, and said: If I have drunk water standing, it is because I saw the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) do so, and if I have drunk sitting, I have seen him do that as well.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) permitted wiping (over socks/leather socks) for three days and three nights for the traveler, and for one day and one night for the resident.

Abu Juhaifa (may Allah have mercy on him) says that Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) once said: When I narrate to you any hadith from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), then to me, falling from the sky is more preferable than falsely attributing something to him, and war is nothing but strategy and deception.

Zadhan says that once Syedna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) drank water while standing, and people began to look at him with astonishment. He said: Why are you staring at me? If I have drunk water standing, it is because I saw the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) do so, and if I have drunk sitting, I have seen him do that as well.
