It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent Hazrat Siddiq Akbar (may Allah be pleased with him) towards Makkah Mukarramah with Surah Bara’ah, but when he reached near Dhul-Hulaifah, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent word to him that according to the custom of the Arabs, this message can only be delivered by me or a member of my family. Thus, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) with that message.
