Hazrat Abu Yazid Al-Awdi, may Allah have mercy on him, narrates that his father, may Allah have mercy on him, said: Hazrat Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, came to the mosque, so we gathered around him. Then a young man stood up and said to him: I ask you by Allah, did you hear the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, say this: "Whoever's friend I am, Ali, may Allah be pleased with him, is also his friend. O Allah! Befriend whoever befriends Ali, and be the enemy of whoever is hostile to him?" He (Abu Hurairah) replied: Yes! Then the young man said: I disassociate myself from you. I bear witness that indeed you have shown enmity to the one who befriends him, and you have befriended the one who is hostile to him. The narrator says: Then the people pelted that young man with pebbles.
