وَقَالَ الْحَارِثُ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحِيمِ بْنُ وَاقِدٍ الْخُرَاسَانِيُّ، ثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، ثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، أَوْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ - الشَّكُّ مِنْ حَمَّادٍ - قَالَ:
قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لِعَلِيٍّ ؓ: يَا عَلِيُّ، خُذِ الْبَابَ فَلَا يَدْخُلَنَّ عَلَيَّ أَحَدٌ، فَإِنَّ عِنْدِي زَوْرًا مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ اسْتَأْذَنُوا رَبَّهُمْ أَنْ يَزُورُونِي " فَأَخَذَ عَلِيٌّ ؓ الْبَابَ، وَجَاءَ عُمَرُ ؓ فَاسْتَأْذَنَ، فَقَالَ: يَا عَلِيُّ، اسْتَأْذِنْ لِي عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ ؓ: لَيْسَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ إِذْنٌ، فَرَجَعَ عُمَرُ ؓ، وَظَنَّ أَنَّ ذَلِكَ مِنْ سَخْطَةٍ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، فَلَمْ يَصْبِرْ عُمَرُ ؓ أَنْ رَجَعَ، فَقَالَ: اسْتَأْذِنْ لِي رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ، فَقَالَ: لَيْسَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ إِذْنٌ. فَقَالَ ؓ: وَلِمَ ؟ قَالَ ؓ: لِأَنَّ زَوْرًا مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ عِنْدَهُ، وَاسْتَأْذَنُوا رَبَّهُمْ أَنْ يَزُورُوهُ، قَالَ ؓ: وَكَمْ هُمْ يَا عَلِيُّ ؟ قَالَ ؓ: ثَلَاثُمِائَةٍ وَسِتُّونَ مَلَكًا، ثُمَّ أَمَرَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِفَتْحِ الْبَابِ، فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ عُمَرُ ؓ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنَّهُ

✧ The Prophet ﷺ said to Ali ؓ: "O Ali, take the door and let no one enter upon me, for I have visitors from the angels who asked their Lord to visit me." So Ali ؓ took the door, and Umar ؓ came and sought permission. He said, "O Ali, seek permission for me to see the Messenger of Allah ﷺ." Ali ؓ said, "There is no permission for anyone over the Messenger of Allah ﷺ." So Umar ؓ went back, thinking that this was due to displeasure from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Umar ؓ could not bear it, so he returned and said, "Seek permission for me from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ." He said, "There is no permission for anyone over the Messenger of Allah ﷺ." He ؓ said, "Why?" He ؓ said, "Because visitors from the angels are with him, and they asked their Lord to visit him." He ؓ said, "And how many are they, O Ali?" He ؓ said, "Three hundred and sixty angels." Then the Prophet ﷺ ordered the door to be opened, and Umar ؓ mentioned that to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, saying, "O Messenger of Allah, indeed he..."
