It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the day of Friday comes, the devils come out from their places and try to keep people busy in the markets. They have some flags with them. On the other hand, the angels sit at the doors of the mosques and write down the rewards for people according to their ranks: for the first, for the second, and for those who come after, until the Imam comes out. So whoever sits close to the Imam, sits silently, listens attentively to his words, and does not engage in any idle activity, for him there is double reward. And whoever sits far from the Imam but still sits silently, listens attentively, and does not engage in any idle activity, for him there is single reward. And whoever sits close to the Imam but engages in useless activities, does not sit silently, nor listens attentively to his words, for him there is single sin. And whoever says "be quiet" to someone to silence him, he too has spoken, and whoever speaks during the sermon will not receive any reward for Friday. Then he said: I heard this from your Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in this way.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The Hour will not be established (until all of my companions have completely departed from this world); to the extent that one of my companions will be sought as something lost is sought, but not a single companion will be found."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed the one who consumes usury, the one who gives it to others, the one who writes usurious transactions, the witnesses to usurious transactions, the one who performs halalah, and the one for whom halalah is performed.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade (the use of) a gold ring, silk, and a red saddlecloth.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "An 'abd mukatab, that is, a slave with whom the master has made an agreement for freedom upon payment of a specified amount, becomes entitled to the same proportion of blood money as the amount he has paid."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent out an army and appointed an Ansari as their commander. He lit a fire and said, "Enter this fire." The people were just considering jumping into it when a young man said, "It is from this very fire that we have fled and taken refuge with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)." So the entire incident was reported to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to those who intended to enter it, "If you had entered it once, you would never have come out of it again." And praising the others, he said: "There is no obedience to anyone in disobedience to Allah. Obedience is only in good deeds."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that once Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said to the people: "What is your opinion regarding this surplus wealth that has remained with us?" The people said: "O Commander of the Faithful! Because of us, you have been kept away from your family, your business, and your trade, so you should keep it." He asked me: "What is your opinion?" I said: "The people have already given you their advice." He said: "You too should give some opinion." I said: "Why are you turning your certainty into doubt?" He said: "You yourself explain your statement." I said: "Very well, I will certainly explain it. You may remember that once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent you to collect charity and zakat. You came to Sayyiduna Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him), and he refused to give zakat. There was some dispute between you two. You said to me: 'Come with me to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).' We went there, but we did not see the usual cheerfulness in the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), so we returned. The next day, when we went again, we found the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) cheerful. Then you informed him about Sayyiduna Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him), and he said to you: 'Do you not know that a man's uncle is in the position of his father?' Then we asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about his state on the first day and the second day. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'When you both came to me the first day, I had two dinars of zakat left with me. That is why you saw me in a heavy mood. And when you both came to me today, I had already given them to someone, and that is why you found me cheerful.' Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), after hearing this from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), said: 'You have spoken the truth. By Allah! I will remain grateful to you in this world and the Hereafter.'"

Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that upon facing any hardship or affliction, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) taught me this supplication, whose translation is: There is no deity except Allah, He is Most Forbearing and Most Merciful. Allah is free from every defect and imperfection. The Being of Allah is greatly blessed, He is the Lord of the Mighty Throne, and all praise is for Allah, the Lord of all the worlds.

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 the 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 developed enmity with my hair.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was buried in seven garments.
