أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ أَبِي غَنِيَّةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْحَكَمُ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ عَنْ بُرَيْدَةَ قَالَ
خَرَجْتُ مَعَ عَلِيٍّ إِلَى الْيَمَنِ فَرَأَيْتُ مِنْهُ جَفْوَةً فَقَدِمَتْ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَذَكَرْتُ عَلِيًّا فَتَنَقَّصْتُهُ فَجَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَتَغَيَّرُ وَجْهُهُ وَقَالَ يَا بُرَيْدَةُ «أَلَسْتُ أَوْلَى بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ مِنْ أَنْفُسِهِمْ؟» قُلْتُ بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ «مَنْ كُنْتُ مَوْلَاهُ فَعَلِيٌّ مَوْلَاهُ»

✧ I went out with Ali to Yemen and saw some harshness from him. When I came to the Prophet ﷺ, I mentioned Ali and belittled him. The face of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ began to change, and he said, "O Buraydah, am I not more entitled to the believers than their own selves?" I said, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "Whoever I am his guardian, Ali is his guardian."
