Harith bin Suwaid (may Allah have mercy on him) says that once a person asked Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), "Did the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) tell you anything specifically, leaving out the common people?" He replied, "The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) did not tell us anything specifically, leaving out others, except for what is in the sheath of my sword." Then he took out a scroll from it, in which the ages of camels were written, and it was written that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah 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 a slave calls someone other than his master as his master, 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 either. And the responsibility of all Muslims is the same; if an ordinary person grants protection to someone, it must be respected. Whoever violates the protection given by a Muslim, upon him is the curse of Allah, the angels, and all people, and on the Day of Resurrection, no obligatory or voluntary act will be accepted from him."

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 of Allah 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."

Yusuf bin Mazin says that a man requested Sayyiduna Ali, may Allah be pleased with him, "O Commander of the Faithful! Please describe to us the blessed appearance of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him." He replied: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, was not very tall; he was a little taller than medium height, but when he walked among people, he appeared to be the tallest. His complexion was radiant and fair. His blessed head was large, his forehead was bright and broad, his eyelashes were long, his blessed palms and feet were full. When he walked, he lifted his feet, as if descending a slope. The drops of sweat on his radiant face appeared like pearls. I have never seen anyone like him, neither before him nor after him. May my parents be sacrificed for him, peace and blessings be upon him.

The previous hadith is also narrated through this second chain of transmission.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that there were many idols placed on the Ka'bah. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) told me to sit down, and he himself climbed onto my shoulders. I tried to stand up but was unable to do so. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) stood up with me, and I began to break the idols. At that moment, I felt as if, if I wished, I could touch the horizon.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A people will come who will leave Islam just as an arrow passes through its prey. They will recite the Qur'an but it will not go beyond their throats. Glad tidings are for the one who kills them or is martyred at their hands. Their sign is a man whose hand will be incomplete."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the wife of Walid bin Uqbah came to the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "O Messenger of Allah! Walid beats me." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to her: "Go and tell him that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) has given me protection." After a short while, she came again and said: "Now he has started beating me even more." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) took a corner of his garment and gave it to her and said: "Go and tell him that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) has given me protection." But after a little while, she returned and said: "O Messenger of Allah! He has started beating me even more." Upon this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) raised both his hands and said: "O Allah! Take understanding from Walid; he has disobeyed me twice."

The previous hadith is also narrated through this second chain of transmission.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that on the day of the Battle of the Trench, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was sitting at one edge of the trench when he 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."

Abu Al-Tufail says that someone asked Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), "Tell us something that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) told you especially." He replied, "The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not tell me anything privately that he concealed from other people, except for what is in the sheath of my sword." Saying this, he took out a scroll in which it was written: "The curse of Allah is upon the one who slaughters an animal in the name of other than Allah, the curse of Allah is upon the one who gives shelter to an innovator, the curse of Allah is upon the one who curses his parents, and the curse of Allah is upon the one who changes the boundaries of the land."
