وَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَيْدَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ؓ قَالَ:
بَعَثَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي سَرِيَّةٍ، وَاسْتَعْمَلَ عَلَيْنَا عَلِيًّا ؓ فَلَمَّا جِئْنَاهُ، قَالَ: " كَيْفَ رَأَيْتُمْ صَاحِبَكُمْ ؟ " قَالَ: فَإِمَّا شَكَوْتُهُ وَإِمَّا شَكَاهُ غَيْرِي، فَرَفَعْتُ رَأْسِي وَكُنْتُ رَجُلًا مِكْبَابًا، فَإِذَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ قَدِ احْمَرَّ وَجْهُهُ، وَهُوَ يَقُولُ: مَنْ كُنْتُ مَوْلَاهُ فَعَلِيٌّ مَوْلَاهُ

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent us on a military expedition and appointed Ali ؓ over us. When we came to him, he said, "How did you find your companion?" He said, "Either I complained about him or someone else did." I raised my head, and I was a man who often looked down, and behold, the Prophet ﷺ had turned red in the face, and he was saying, "Whoever's mawla I am, Ali is his mawla."
