Shuraih bin Hani says that I asked Lady Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) about a male companion regarding wiping over leather socks, so she said: "You should ask this question to Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), because he used to accompany the Prophet (peace be upon him) on journeys." So I asked Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), and he said: "The Prophet (peace be upon him) commanded us that when we go on a journey, we should wipe over our leather socks."

Saeed bin Wahb and Zaid bin Yuthai’ say that once, Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) made the people swear in the courtyard of Kufa and said:“Whoever heard any statement from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about me at the occasion of Ghadir Khumm, let him stand up.”Upon this, according to Saeed’s opinion, six men stood up, and according to Zaid’s opinion, six men stood up, and all of them testified that they had heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say about Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) at the occasion of Ghadir Khumm:“Does Allah not have a right over the believers?”All replied:“Indeed!”He said:“O Allah! Whomever I am the master of, Ali is also his master. O Allah! Befriend whoever befriends Ali, and be the enemy of whoever is hostile to him.”

The previous narration is also reported through another chain, with the following addition at the end: "Whoever helps Ali, then help him, and whoever abandons him, then abandon him."

The previous narration is also reported from Sayyiduna Zayd bin Arqam (may Allah be pleased with him) through this second chain of transmission.

Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that when Hasan was born, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came and said: "Show me my son, what name have you given him?" I replied: Harb. He said: "No, his name is Hasan." Then when Husayn was born, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came and said: "Show me my son, what name have you given him?" I again replied: Harb. He said: "No, his name is Husayn." The same happened at the birth of the third son, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) changed his name to Muhsin, then said: "I have named these children after the children of Harun (peace be upon him), whose names were Shabbar, Shabbir, and Mushbir."

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 that there is something in the sheath of my sword." Saying this, he took out a scroll from it, 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 steals the boundary markers of the land."

Abdullah bin Yasar says that once Amr bin Harith came to visit Sayyiduna Imam Hasan (may Allah be pleased with him) during his illness. Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him: "You have come to visit Hasan in his illness, but what about that which you are hiding in your heart?" Amr said: "You are not my Lord that you may do as you wish with my heart." Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Even so, we will not refrain from advising you. I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: 'When a Muslim goes to visit his sick brother, Allah appoints seventy thousand angels for him who pray for his forgiveness every moment of the day until evening, and if he goes in the evening, they pray for him every moment of the night until morning.'"

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Three types of people are exempt from accountability: (1) The sleeping person, until he wakes up; (2) The insane person, until his sanity returns; (3) The child, until he reaches puberty."

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 say at the end of Witr: «اَللّٰهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِرِضَاكَ مِنْ سَخَطِكَ وَأَعُوذُ بِمُعَافَاتِكَ مِنْ عُقُوبَتِكَ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْكَ وَلَا أُحْصِي ثَنَاءً عَلَيْكَ أَنْتَ كَمَا أَثْنَيْتَ عَلَى نَفْسِكَ.» "O Allah! I seek refuge in Your pleasure from Your displeasure, in Your pardon from Your punishment, and I seek refuge in You from You. I cannot enumerate Your praises; You are as You have praised Yourself."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that once a silk garment was sent as a gift to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) from somewhere. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent it to me. I wore it, but when I saw signs of displeasure on the blessed face of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), I distributed it among my women as head coverings.
