Amir b. Sa'd b. Abi Waqqas reported on the authority of his father that Muawiya b. Abi Sufyan appointed Sa'd as the Governor and said: What prevents you from abusing Abu Turab (Hadrat 'Ali), whereupon be said: It is because of three things which I remember Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) having said about him that I would not abuse him and even if I find one of those three things for me, it would be more dear to me than the red camels. I heard Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) say about 'Ali as he left him behind in one of his campaigns (that was Tabuk). 'Ali said to him: Allah's Messenger, you leave me behind along with women and children. Thereupon Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) said to him: Aren't you satisfied with being unto me what Aaron was unto Moses but with this exception that there is no prophethood after me. And I (also) heard him say on the Day of Khaibar: I would certainly give this standard to a person who loves Allah and his Messenger, and Allah and his Messenger love him too. He (the narrator) said: We had been anxiously waiting for it, when he (the Holy Prophet) said: Call 'Ali. He was called and his eyes were inflamed. He applied saliva to his eyes and handed over the standard to him, and Allah gave him victory. (The third occasion is this) when the (following) verse was revealed: Let us summon our children and your children. Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) called 'Ali, Fatima, Hasan and Husain and said: O Allah, they are my family.
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبَّادٍ - وَتَقَارَبَا فِي اللَّفْظِ - قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا حَاتِمٌ وَهُوَ ابْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ - عَنْ بُكَيْرِ بْنِ مِسْمَارٍ، عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: أَمَرَ مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ سَعْدًا فَقَالَ: مَا مَنَعَكَ أَنْ تَسُبَّ أَبَا التُّرَابِ؟ فَقَالَ: أَمَّا مَا ذَكَرْتُ ثَلَاثًا قَالَهُنَّ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَلَنْ أَسُبَّهُ، لَأَنْ تَكُونَ لِي وَاحِدَةٌ مِنْهُنَّ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ حُمْرِ النَّعَمِ، سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ لَهُ، خَلَّفَهُ فِي بَعْضِ مَغَازِيهِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ عَلِيٌّ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ خَلَّفْتَنِي مَعَ النِّسَاءِ وَالصِّبْيَانِ؟ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَمَا تَرْضَى أَنْ تَكُونَ مِنِّي بِمَنْزِلَةِ هَارُونَ مِنْ مُوسَى؟ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ لَا نُبُوَّةَ بَعْدِي» وَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ يَوْمَ خَيْبَرَ «لَأُعْطِيَنَّ الرَّايَةَ رَجُلًا يُحِبُّ اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ، وَيُحِبُّهُ اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ» قَالَ فَتَطَاوَلْنَا لَهَا فَقَالَ: «ادْعُوا لِي عَلِيًّا» فَأُتِيَ بِهِ أَرْمَدَ، فَبَصَقَ فِي عَيْنِهِ وَدَفَعَ الرَّايَةَ إِلَيْهِ، فَفَتَحَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ، وَلَمَّا نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ: {فَقُلْ تَعَالَوْا نَدْعُ أَبْنَاءَنَا وَأَبْنَاءَكُمْ} [آل عمران: 61] دَعَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلِيًّا وَفَاطِمَةَ وَحَسَنًا وَحُسَيْنًا فَقَالَ: «اللهُمَّ هَؤُلَاءِ أَهْلِي»
  بکیر بن مسمار نے عامر بن سعد بن ابی وقاص سے ، انھوں نے اپنے والد سے روایت کی کہ حضرت معاویہ بن ابی سفیان رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ نے حضرت سعد رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ کو حکم دیا ، کہا : آپ کو اس سے کیا چیز روکتی ہے کہ آپ ابوتراب ( حضرت علی بن ابی طالب رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ ) کو براکہیں ۔ انھوں نے جواب دیا : جب تک مجھے وہ تین باتیں یاد ہیں جو رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے ان ( حضر ت علی رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ ) سے کہی تھیں ، میں ہرگز انھیں برا نہیں کہوں گا ۔ ان میں سے کوئی ایک بات بھی میرے لئے ہوتو وہ مجھے سرخ اونٹوں سے زیادہ پسند ہوگی ، میں نے رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم سے سناتھا ، آپ ان سے ( اس وقت ) کہہ رہے تھے جب آپ ایک جنگ میں ان کو پیچھے چھوڑ کر جارہے تھے اور علی رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ نے ان سے کہا تھا : اللہ کےرسول صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم !آپ مجھے عورتوں اوربچوں میں پیچھے چھوڑ کرجارہے ہیں؟تو رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے ان سے فرمایا : " تمھیں یہ پسند نہیں کہ تمھارا میرے ساتھ وہی مقام ہو جوحضرت ہارون علیہ السلام کاموسیٰ علیہ السلام کےساتھ تھا ، مگر یہ کہ میرے بعد نبوت نہیں ہے ۔ " اسی طرح خیبر کے دن میں نے آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کو یہ کہتے ہوئے سناتھا : " اب میں جھنڈ ا اس شخص کو دوں گا جو اللہ اوراس کے رسول صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ! سے محبت کرتا ہے اور اللہ اور اس کا ر سول صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم اس سے محبت کرتے ہیں ۔ " کہا : پھر ہم نے اس بات ( مصداق جاننے ) کے لئے اپنی گردنیں اٹھا اٹھا کر ( ہرطرف ) دیکھا تو رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا : " علی کو میرے پاس بلاؤ ۔ " انھیں شدید آشوب چشم کی حالت میں لایا گیا ۔ آپ نےان کی آنکھوں میں اپنا لعاب دہن لگایا اورجھنڈا انھیں عطافرمادیا ۔ اللہ نے ان کے ہاتھ پر خیبر فتح کردیا ۔ اورجب یہ آیت اتری : " ( تو آپ کہہ دیں : آؤ ) ہم اپنے بیٹوں اور تمھارے بیٹوں کو بلالیں ۔ " تورسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے حضر ت علی رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ ، حضرت فاطمہ رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ ، حضرت حسن رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ ، اورحضرت حسین رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ کو بلایا اور فرمایا : " اے اللہ! یہ میرے گھر والے ہیں ۔ "

Suhail reported on the authority of Abu Huraira that Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) said on the Day of Khaibar: I shall certainly give this standard in the hand of one who loves Allah and his Messenger and Allah will grant victory at his hand. Umar b. Khattab said: Never did I cherish for leadership but on that day. I came before him with the hope that I may be called for this, but Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) called 'Ali b. Abu Talib and he conferred (this honour) upon him and said: Proceed on and do not look about until Allah grants you victory, and 'Ali went a bit and then halted and did not look about and then said in a loud voice: Allah's Messenger, on what issue should I fight with the people? Thereupon he (the Prophet) said: Fight with them until they bear testimony to the fact that there is no god but Allah and Muhammad is his Messenger, and when they do that then their blood and their riches are inviolable from your hands but what is justified by law and their reckoning is with Allah.

Sahl b. Sa'd reported that Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) said on the Day of Khaibar: I would certainly give this standard to a person at whose hand Allah would grant victory and who loves Allah and His Messenger and Allah and His Messenger love him also. The people spent the night thinking as to whom it would be given. When it was morning the people hastened to Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) all of them hoping that that would be given to him. He (the Holy Prophet) said: Where is 'Ali b. Abu Talib? They said: Allah's Messenger, his eyes are sore. He then sent for him and he was brought and Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) applied saliva to his eyes and invoked blessings and he was all right, as if he had no ailment at all, and conferred upon him the standard. 'Ali said: Allah's Messenger, I will fight them until they are like us. Thereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: Advance cautiously until you reach their open places, thereafter invite them to Islam and inform them what is obligatory for them from the rights of Allah, for, by Allah, if Allah guides aright even one person through you that is better for you than to possess the most valuable of the camels.

Salama b. Akwa' reported that it was 'Ali whom Allah's Apostle ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) left behind him (in the charge of his family and the Islamic State) on the occasion of the campaign of Khaibar, and his eyes were inflamed and he said: Is it for me to remain behind Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم )? So he went forth and rejoined Allah's Apostle ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) and on the evening of that night (after which) next morning Allah granted victory. Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) said: I will certainly give this standard to a man whom Allah and His Messenger love. or he said: Who loves Allah or His Messenger and Allah will grant him victory through him, and, lo, we saw 'Ali whom we least expected (to be present on that occasion). They (the Companions) said: Here is 'Ali. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon hin) gave him the standard. Allah granted victory at his hand.

Yazid b. Hayyan reported, I went along with Husain b. Sabra and 'Umar b. Muslim to Zaid b. Arqam and, as we sat by his side, Husain said to him: Zaid. you have been able to acquire a great virtue that you saw Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) listened to his talk, fought by his side in (different) battles, offered prayer behind me. Zaid, you have in fact earned a great virtue. Zaid, narrate to us what you heard from Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ). He said: I have grown old and have almost spent my age and I have forgotten some of the things which I remembered in connection with Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ), so accept whatever I narrate to you, and which I do not narrate do not compel me to do that. He then said: One day Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) stood up to deliver sermon at a watering place known as Khumm situated between Mecca and Medina. He praised Allah, extolled Him and delivered the sermon and. exhorted (us) and said: Now to our purpose. O people, I am a human being. I am about to receive a messenger (the angel of death) from my Lord and I, in response to Allah's call, (would bid good-bye to you), but I am leaving among you two weighty things: the one being the Book of Allah in which there is right guidance and light, so hold fast to the Book of Allah and adhere to it. He exhorted (us) (to hold fast) to the Book of Allah and then said: The second are the members of my household I remind you (of your duties) to the members of my family. He (Husain) said to Zaid: Who are the members of his household? Aren't his wives the members of his family? Thereupon he said: His wives are the members of his family (but here) the members of his family are those for whom acceptance of Zakat is forbidden. And he said: Who are they? Thereupon he said: 'Ali and the offspring of 'Ali, 'Aqil and the offspring of 'Aqil and the offspring of Ja'far and the offspring of 'Abbas. Husain said: These are those for whom the acceptance of Zakat is forbidden. Zaid said: Yes.
