Abu Abdullah Jadali says: I went to the service of Sayyida Umm Salama (may Allah be pleased with her). She said to me: Is it true that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) is being spoken ill of among you? I said: I seek refuge with Allah, or I said: Glory be to Allah! How astonishing, or I said some similar words, (how could it be that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, is spoken ill of). She said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: Whoever speaks ill of Ali has certainly spoken ill of me.
