It is narrated from Sayyiduna Zaid bin Arqam (may Allah be pleased with him) that some of the companions’ house doors opened into the mosque. One day, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: Close all the doors except the door of Ali. People talked about this matter, so the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) stood up, praised and glorified Allah, and then said: "As for what follows! I have ordered that all these doors be closed except the door of Ali. Some of you who make remarks have made some remarks about this. By Allah! I myself have neither closed nor opened anything; I have only followed the command that I have been given."
