Hazrat Abu Bakr bin Khalid bin Urfatah (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that I came to Hazrat Sa’d bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) in Madinah, and he said: It has been mentioned to me that you people abuse Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him)? He (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Yes! He (may Allah be pleased with him) asked: Perhaps you also abuse him? I replied: I seek refuge with Allah! He (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Never abuse him. So, even if a saw is placed on the middle of my head for me to abuse Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), I will never abuse him after hearing that hadith which I have heard from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).
