أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ أَبُو الْجَوْزَاءِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عَثْمَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ عَنِ الْمُهَاجِرِ بْنِ مِسْمَارٍ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ بِنْتِ سَعْدٍ قَالَتْ
أَخَذَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِيَدِ عَلِيٍّ فَخَطَبَ فَحَمِدَ اللهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ «أَلَسْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ أَنِّي أَوْلَى بِكُمْ مِنْ أَنْفُسِكُمْ؟» قَالُوا نَعَمْ صَدَقْتَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ثُمَّ أَخَذَ بِيَدِ عَلِيٍّ فَرَفَعَهَا فَقَالَ «مَنْ كُنْتُ وَلِيَّهُ فَهَذَا وَلِيُّهُ فَإِنَّ اللهَ يُوَالِي مَنْ وَالَاهُ وَيُعَادِي مَنْ عَادَاهُ»

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ took 'Ali by the hand and delivered a sermon. He praised and extolled Allah, then said: "Do you not know that I have more authority over you than your own selves?" They said: Yes, you have spoken the truth, O Messenger of Allah. Then he took 'Ali by the hand and raised it, and said: "Whoever I am his wali, this is his wali. Indeed Allah befriends whoever befriends him and is hostile to whoever is hostile to him."
