SAHIH MUSLIM AHADITHS

Reported by Ali (r.a) and towards Ali (r.a)

As falling from the sky:

'Ali (r.a) said: Whenever I narrate to you anything from the Messenger of Allah (may
peace be upon him) believe it to be absolutely true as falling from the sky is dearer to me
than that of attributing anything to him (the Holy Prophet) which he never said. When I
talk to you of anything which is between me and you (there might creep some error in it)
for battle is an outwitting. I heard the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) as
saying: There would arise at the end of the age a people who would be young in age and
immature in thought, but they would talk (in such a manner) as if their words are the best
among the creatures. They would recite the Qur'an, but it would not go beyond their
throats, and they would pass through the religion as an arrow goes through the prey. So
when you meet them, kill them, for in their killing you would get a reward with Allah on
the Day of judgmelat. (Book #005, Hadith #2328)

Khawarji:
'Abida narrated from 'Ali (r.a) that he made a mention of the Khwarij (and in this
connection) said that there would be a person among them with a defective hand. (or with
a short hand) or a fleshy hand. If you were to exercise restraint, I would tell you what
Allah has promised to those who would kill them on the order of Mubarrmad (may peace
be upon him). I (the narrator) said to him: Did you hear it from Muhammad: (may peace
be upon him)? He (Hadrat 'Ali (r.a)) said: Yes, by the Lord of the Ka'ba; Yes, by the Lord
of the Ka'ba; yes, by the Lord of the Ka'ba. (Book #005, Hadith #2331

No command but Allah:

Zaid b. Wahb Jahani reported and he was among the squadron which was under the
command of Ali (r.a) (Allah be pleased with him) and which set out (to curb the
activities) of the Khwarij. Ali (r.a) (Allah be pleased with him) said: 0 people, I heard the
Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) say: There would arise from my Ummah a
people who would recite the Qur'an, and your recital would seem insignificant as
compared with their recital, your prayer as compared with their prayer, arid your fast, as
compared with their fast. They would recite the Qur'an thinking that it sup- ports them,
whereas it is an evidence against them. Their prayer does not get beyond their collar
bone; they would swerve through Islam just as the arrow passes through the prey. If the
squadron which is 'Ubaidullah b. Abu Rafi', the freed slave of the Messenger of Allah
(may peace be upon him), said: When Haruria (the Khwarij) set out and as he was with
'Ali (r.a) b. Abu TAlib (Allah be pleased with him) they said," There is no command but
that of Allah." Upon this 'Ali (r.a) said: The statement is true but it is intentionally
applied (to support) a wrong (cause). The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him
described their characteristics and I found these characteristics in them. They state the
truth with their tongue, but it does not go beyond this part of their bodies (and the
narrator pointed towards his throat). The most hateful among the creation of Allah us one
black man among them (Khwarij).

Believer would love:

Zirr reported: 'Ali (r.a) observed: By Him Who split up the seed and created something
living, the Apostle (may peace and blessings be upon him) gave me a promise that no one
but a believer would love me, and none but a hypocrite would nurse grudge against me.
(Book #001, Hadith #0141)

Prayer like Muhammad(s.a.w):

Mutarrif reported: I and 'Imran b. Husain said prayer behind 'Ali (r.a) b. Abu, Talib. He
recited takbir when he prostrated, and he recited takbir when he raised his head and he
recited takbir while rising up (from the sitting position at the end of two rak'ahs). When
we had finished our prayer, 'Imran caught hold of my hand and said: He (Hadrat Ali (r.a))
has led prayer like Muhammad (may peace be upon him) or he said: He in fact recalled to
my mind the prayer of Muhammad (may peace be upon him.) (Book #004, Hadith
#0770)

Right path:

Ali (r.a) reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said to him: Say," O
Allah, direct me to the right path and make me adhere to the straight path," and when you
make a mention of right guidance, keep in mind the right path and when you consider of
the straight (path), keep in mind the straightness of the arrow. (Book #035, Hadith
#6573)

Aalah-o-Akbar, Subhan Allah, Al hammd ullilah:

It is reported on the authority of Ali (r.a) that Fatima had corns in her hand because of
working at the hand-mill. There had fallen to the lot of Allah's Apostle (may peace be
upon him) some prisoners of war. She (Fatima) came to the Holy Prophet (may peace be
upon him) but she did not find him (in the house). She met A'isha and informed her
(about her hardship). When Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) came, she ( A'isha)
informed him about the visit of Fatima. ABah's Messenger (may peace be upon him)
came to them (Fitima and her family). They had gone to their beds. 'Ali (r.a) further
(reported): We tried to stand up (as a mark of respect) but Allah's Messenger (may peace
be upon him) said: Keep to your beds, and he sat amongst us and I felt coldness of his
feet upon my chest. He then said: May I not direct you to something better than what you
have asked for? When you go to your bed, you should recite Takbir (Allah-o-Akbar)
thirty-four times and Tasbih (Subhdn Allah) thirty-three times and Tahmid (al-Hamdu li-
Allah) thirty-three times, and that is better than the servant for you. (Book #035, Hadith
#6577)

Uncleanness away from household of Muhammad (s.a.w):

'A'isha reported that Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) went out one norning
wearing a striped cloak of the black camel's hair that there came Hasan b. 'Ali (r.a). He
wrapped him under it, then came Husain and he wrapped him under it along with the
other one (Hasan). Then came Fatima and he took her under it, then came 'Ali (r.a) and
he also took him under it and then said: Allah only desires to take away any uncleanness
from you, O people of the household, and purify you (thorough purifying) (Book #031,
Hadith #5955)

Good deeds:
'Ali (r.a) reported that one day Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) was sitting
with a wood in his hand and he was scratching the ground. He raised his head and said:
There is not one amongst you who has not been allotted his seat in Paradise or Hell. They
said: Allah's Messenger. then, why should we perform good deeds, why not depend upon
our destiny? Thereupon he said. No, do perform good deeds, for everyone is facilitated in
that for which he has been created; then he recited this verse:" Then, who gives to the
needy and guards against evil and accepts the excellent (the truth of Islam and the path of
righteousness it prescribes), We shall make easy for him the easy end..." (xcii. 5-10).
(Book #033, Hadith #6400)

Wear of ring:
Ali (r.a) reported: Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) forbade me that I should
wear a ring in this and that finger of mine, and he pointed to the middle finger and the
next one. (Book #024, Hadith #5229)

Who Loves Allah and His Messenger :( Battle of Khyber)

The narrator said: Whenever the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) asked
forgiveness for a particular person, he was sure to embrace martyrdom. Umar b. Khattab
who was riding on his camel called out: Prophet of Allah, I wish you had allowed us to
benefit from Amir. Salama continued: When we reached Khaibar, its king named Marhab
advanced brandishing his sword and chanting: Khaibar knows that I am Marhab (who
behaves like) A fully armed, and well-tried warrior. When the war comes spreading its
flames. My uncle, Amir, came out to combat with him, saying: Khaibar certainly knows
that I am 'Amir, A fully armed veteran who plunges into battles. They exchanged blows.
Marbab's sword struck the shield of 'Amir who bent forward to attack his opponent from
below, but his sword recoiled upon him and cut the main artery: in his forearm which
caused his death. Salama said: I came out and beard some people among the Companions
of the Holy Prophet (may peace be upon him) as saying: Amir's deed has gone waste; he
has killed himself. So I came to the Holy Prophet (may peace be upon him) weeping and
I said: Messenger of Allah. Amir's deed has gone waste. The Messenger (may peace be
upon him) said: Who passed this remark? I said: Some of your Companions. He said: He
who has passed that remark has told a lie, for 'Amir there is a double reward. Then he
sent me to 'Ali (r.a) who had tore eyes, and said: I will give the banner to a man who

loves Allah and His Messenger or whom Allah and His Messenger love. So I went to 'Ali
(r.a), brought him beading him along and he had sore eyes, and I took him to the
Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him), who applied his sAli (r.a)va to his eyes
and he got well. The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) gave him the banner
(and 'Ali (r.a) went to meet Marhab in a single combat). The latter advanced chanting:
Khaibar knows certainly that I am Marhab, A fully armed and well-tried valorous warrior
(hero) When war comes spreading its flames. 'Ali (r.a) chanted in reply: I am the one
whose mother named him Haidar, (And am) like a lion of the forest with a terror-striking
countenance. I give my opponents the measure of sandara in exchange for sa' (i. e. return
thir attack with one that is much more fierce). The narrator said: 'Ali (r.a) struck at the
head of Mirhab and killed him, so the victory (capture of Khaibar) was due to him. This
long tradition has also been handed down Through a different chain of transmitters.
(Book #019, Hadith #4450)
