Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) says that I never heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) combine his parents for anyone except Sayyiduna Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him). On the day of the Battle of Uhud, he was saying to Sayyiduna Sa’d bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him):“Sa’d, shoot (arrows), may my parents be sacrificed for you.”

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: "I do not say to you" that you are forbidden from wearing a gold ring, silk, or clothes dyed with safflower, and from reciting the Noble Qur'an in the state of bowing (ruku’). And once, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gifted me a silk garment. I wore it and went out, so he said: "Ali! I did not give it to you so that you would wear it yourself." So I took it and went back to Sayyidah Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) and handed one edge of it to her so that she would pull it with me, and thus I tore it into two pieces. Seeing this, Sayyidah Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: "What has happened to you? What have you done?" I said: "The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) has forbidden me from wearing this garment, so now you make a dress for yourself from it, and give it to the women of the house as well."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I have exempted you from paying zakat on horses and slaves, therefore you must pay zakat on silver in any case. Its nisab is that for every forty, one dirham will be obligatory. Nothing will be obligatory up to one hundred and ninety dirhams, but when their amount reaches two hundred, then five dirhams will be obligatory on it."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me, "Shall I not teach you such words that when you utter them with your tongue, your sins will be forgiven, even though your sins have already been forgiven? Recite these words, whose translation is: There is no deity except Allah, He is Forbearing and Generous. There is no deity except Allah, He is Great and Exalted. Allah is free from every defect and shortcoming. He is the Lord of the seven heavens and the Mighty Throne. All praise is for Allah, the Lord of all the worlds."

Abu Yahya says that when a wretched and wicked man named Ibn Muljam made a murderous attack on Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Treat him in the same way as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) treated the person who intended to martyr him." Then he said: "Kill him and burn his corpse."

Nuaim bin Dajjajah says that once Sayyiduna Abu Mas’ud Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) came to Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him). Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said:“Are you the one who said that a hundred years will not pass over the people before there will not remain an eye on the earth that blinks, meaning all the people will die?”What the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) actually said was:“Of those who are alive today, after a hundred years, there will not remain an eye among them that blinks,”meaning the Day of Judgment is not intended. By Allah! After a hundred years, this Ummah will receive ease.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave in the dowry of Sayyidah Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) a coarse cloth, a water skin, and a leather pillow stuffed with a grass called idhkhir.

Once, Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) carried out the punishment of stoning on a woman from Kufa. On Thursday, he flogged her, and on Friday, he stoned her to death. He said, "I flogged her because of the Noble Qur'an, and I stoned her because of the Sunnah."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would begin the obligatory prayer after the takbeer, he would say "Allahu Akbar" and raise his hands to the level of his shoulders. After completing the recitation, when he (peace be upon him) would go into bowing (ruku'), he would do the same. When rising from ruku', he would do the same. While sitting, during any posture, he (peace be upon him) would not raise his hands. However, when he would stand up after performing both prostrations, he would say the takbeer while raising his hands.

Nuaim bin Dajjajah says that once Sayyiduna Abu Mas'ud Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) came to Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him). Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Is it you who said that a hundred years will not pass over the people before there remains no eye on the earth that blinks, meaning all people will die?" What the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) actually said was that among those who are alive today, after a hundred years, there will not remain any eye that blinks, meaning it does not refer to the Day of Judgment. By Allah! After a hundred years, this Ummah will receive ease.
