أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَوْفٌ عَنْ مَيْمُونٍ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَرْقَمَ قَالَ
كَانَ لِنَفَرٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَبْوَابٌ شَارِعَةٌ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «سُدُّوا هَذِهِ الْأَبْوَابَ إِلَّا بَابَ عَلِيٍّ» فَتَكَلَّمَ فِي ذَلِكَ أُنَاسٌ فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَحَمِدَ اللهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ «أَمَّا بَعْدُ فَإِنِّي أُمِرْتُ بِسَدِّ هَذِهِ الْأَبْوَابِ غَيْرَ بَابِ عَلِيٍّ فَقَالَ فِيهِ قَائِلُكُمْ وَاللهِ مَا سَدَدْتُهُ وَلَا فَتَحْتُهُ وَلَكِنِّي أُمِرْتُ بِشَيْءٍ فَاتَّبَعْتُهُ»

✧ Some of the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had doors opening into the mosque. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Close these doors except the door of 'Ali." People spoke about that, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up, praised and extolled Allah, then said, "To proceed: I was commanded to close these doors except the door of 'Ali. Some of you have said about it, 'By Allah, I neither closed it nor opened it, but I was commanded with something and I followed it.'"
