Hazrat Abu Haroon (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that I was sitting with Hazrat Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) when suddenly Nafi’ bin Azraq came and, standing over his head, said: By Allah! I bear enmity towards Ali (may Allah be pleased with him). The narrator says that Hazrat Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) raised his head and said: May Allah also bear enmity towards you, because you bear enmity towards such a person who is foremost, and better than the world and all that is in it.
