Hazrat Amr bin Murrah (may Allah have mercy on him) says that when people mentioned things about Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) in the presence of Hazrat Abdur Rahman bin Abi Laila (may Allah have mercy on him), he said: We have sat together, we have eaten and drunk together. And we are pleased with his deeds, so I have never heard the things that people say. Surely, it is enough for you that you say this: He is the cousin of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and his son-in-law. He was present at the occasion of Bay'at al-Ridwan and participated in the Battle of Badr.
