It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah 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 idhkhir grass, as well as two hand mills and two water pots.

Sa’d (may Allah have mercy on him) says that Yuhnas and Safiyyah were both among the captives of the khums. Safiyyah committed adultery with another man from the khums and gave birth to a child. Both the adulterer and Yuhnas claimed the child, and they brought their case before Sayyiduna ‘Uthman Ghani (may Allah be pleased with him). He sent both of them to Sayyiduna ‘Ali (may Allah be pleased with him). Sayyiduna ‘Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said:“I will judge between you as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) judged, and that is: the child belongs to the owner of the bed, and for the adulterer there are stones.”Then he gave both of them fifty lashes each.

The mother of Amr bin Salim says: We were in the plain of Mina when we heard a man announcing that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, has said: "These are days of eating and drinking, so no one should fast on these days." I lifted the curtain of my tent and saw that the one making the announcement was Sayyiduna Ali, may Allah be pleased with him.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that Sayyiduna Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about this issue: If a person wants to give zakat before the completion of the year, what is the ruling? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) granted him permission to pay it in advance.

Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that we sent Sayyiduna Miqdad bin Aswad (may Allah be pleased with him) to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to ask what a person should do if madhi (pre-seminal fluid) is discharged from his body. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "He should perform wudu and sprinkle water on his private part."

The mother of Amr bin Salim says: We were in the plain of Mina when we heard Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) sitting on his camel and saying: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "These are days of eating and drinking, so no one should fast on these days." Thus, the people followed him.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to offer Witr in the early, middle, and last parts of the night, however, in the end, he (peace and blessings be upon him) became consistent in offering it in the last part of the night.

A man said to Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him): I have bought this cow for sacrifice. He replied: It can be on behalf of seven people. The man said: It has no horns? He replied: There is no harm. He said: It has lameness in its leg? He replied: If it can walk by itself to the place of sacrifice, then there is no harm. Then he said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded us to carefully examine the eyes and ears of the sacrificial animals to ensure there is no defect in them.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent me, Sayyiduna Zubair, and Sayyiduna Abu Marthad (may Allah be pleased with them both)—each of us was a horseman—to a certain place and said: "You people set out, when you reach Rawdat Khakh, there you will find a woman who will have a letter with her, which will be from Hatib bin Abi Balta'ah to the polytheists. Take that letter from her and return." So we set out, our horses were running swiftly, until we reached Rawdat Khakh. There we actually found a woman who was traveling on her camel. In that letter, the people of Makkah were informed about the departure of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). We said to her, "Hand over the letter you have." She said, "I have no letter." We made her camel sit down, searched her saddle, but found nothing. My two companions said, "We think she does not have any letter." I said, "You know that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) has never lied." Then I swore an oath and said, "Either you yourself hand over the letter, or we will strip you naked." Compelled, she took out a letter from her hair braid and handed it over to us. We took that letter and presented it to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). People began to say, "O Messenger of Allah! He has betrayed Allah, His Messenger, and the Muslims. Allow me to strike his neck." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked them, "Hatib! What is this?" He replied, "O Messenger of Allah! By Allah, I believe in Allah and His Messenger. The matter is that I do not have any relation with the Quraysh, but I have joined them. All the emigrants who are with you have relatives in Makkah who protect their families. I thought that since I have no blood relatives there, I would do them a favor so that in return they would protect my relatives." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "You have spoken the truth, say only good about him." Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), overcome with emotion, said, "O Messenger of Allah! He has betrayed Allah, His Messenger, and the Muslims. Allow me to strike his neck." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "He has participated in the Battle of Badr, and what do you know, perhaps Allah looked upon the people of Badr from the heavens and said: 'Do whatever you wish, I have made Paradise obligatory for you.'" At this, Sayyiduna Umar's (may Allah be pleased with him) eyes filled with tears and he said, "Allah and His Messenger know best."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Ali! There are three things in which you should not delay: (1) The prayer when its time arrives, (2) The funeral when it is present, (3) The marriage of a woman when a suitable match is found for her."
