It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that he addressed his companion Hayyan and said: I am sending you for the same task for which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent me. He commanded me to level every grave and to obliterate every idol.

Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I used to suffer from excessive discharge of madhiy, so I asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about its ruling. He said: "Only wudu is obligatory in the case of madhiy."

Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said that I used to suffer from excessive discharge of madhiy. I asked the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) about its ruling, so he said: "Ghusl is obligatory due to semen, and wudu is obligatory due to madhiy."

Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I used to feel very sleepy, so much so that when I would perform the Maghrib prayer and my clothes were on me, I would sleep right there. I asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about this issue, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) permitted me to sleep before ‘Isha (on the condition that I would wake up for the ‘Isha prayer).

Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said that I used to suffer from excessive discharge of madhiy. I asked the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) about its ruling, so he said: "Ghusl is obligatory due to semen, and wudu is obligatory due to madhiy."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) sent a sacrificial animal with him and instructed: "Distribute the skins and saddlecloths of these camels, and also distribute the meat."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) departed first, then Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) departed second, and Sayyiduna Umar Farooq (may Allah be pleased with him) departed third. After that, trials surrounded us; Allah will forgive whomever He wills.

Ibn Ubaid says that when Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) was in Iraq, the people of Syria were mentioned in his presence. The people said: O Commander of the Faithful! Pray for a curse against them. He replied: No, I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: "The Abdal are in Syria, they are forty men in total. Whenever one of them passes away, Allah replaces him with another person (and for this reason they are called Abdal). Because of the blessings of their supplication, rain falls, through their blessings victory is granted over enemies, and because of their blessings, punishment is averted from the people of Syria."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent me with the sacrificial animals and instructed me not to give the butcher anything from them as payment.

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that when the body of Sayyiduna Umar Farooq (may Allah be pleased with him) was brought and placed on the bier, people surrounded him from all sides, began praying for him, and even before the funeral was lifted, they started offering his funeral prayer. I was also among those people. Suddenly, a man came from behind, grabbed my shoulder, and turned my attention towards him. I saw that it was Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him). He prayed for mercy for Sayyiduna Umar Farooq (may Allah be pleased with him) and addressing him said, "You have not left behind anyone whose record of deeds I would prefer to meet Allah with more than yours. By Allah! I was certain that Allah would keep you with your two companions, because I often heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saying, 'I, Abu Bakr, and Umar went; I, Abu Bakr, and Umar entered; I, Abu Bakr, and Umar came out.' Therefore, I was sure that Allah would keep you with both of them."
