أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْمُزَنِيُّ ثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ نَجْدَةَ ثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ ثَنَا قَيْسُ بْنُ الرَّبِيعِ عَنْ أَبِي خَالِدٍ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ مَوْلَى عَلِيٍّ عَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ قَالَ
بَعَثَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَلِيًّا إِلَى الْيَمَنِ فَعَقَدَ لَهُ لِوَاءً فَلَمَّا مَضَى قَالَ «يَا أَبَا رَافِعٍ الْحَقْهُ وَلَا تَدْعُهُ مِنْ خَلْفِهِ وَلْيَقِفْ وَلَا يَلْتَفِتُ حَتَّى أَجِيئَهُ» فَأَتَاهُ فَأَوْصَاهُ بِأَشْيَاءَ فَقَالَ «يَا عَلِيُّ لِأَنْ يَهْدِيَ اللَّهُ عَلَى يَدَيْكَ رَجُلًا خَيْرٌ لَكَ مِمَّا طَلَعَتْ عَلَيْهِ الشَّمْسُ»

✧ The Prophet ﷺ sent 'Ali to Yemen and tied a banner for him. When he went on, he said, "O Abu Rafi', catch up with him and do not leave him from behind. Let him stop and not turn around until I come to him." So he went to him and enjoined him with certain things, and said, "O 'Ali, for Allah to guide a man through your hands is better for you than everything upon which the sun rises."
