أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ قَالَ
شَهِدْتُ عَلِيًّا أَتَى بِدَابَّةٍ لِيَرْكَبَهَا فَلَمَّا وَضَعَ رِجْلَهُ فِي الرِّكَابِ قَالَ «بِسْمِ اللهِ فَلَمَّا اسْتَوَى عَلَى ظَهْرِهَا» قَالَ «الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ» ثُمَّ قَالَ {سُبْحَانَ الَّذِي سَخَّرَ لَنَا هَذَا} [الزخرف 13] إِلَى قَوْلِهِ {وَإِنَّا إِلَى رَبِّنَا لَمُنْقَلِبُونَ} [الزخرف 14] ثُمَّ قَالَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ثَلَاثًا وَاللهُ أَكْبَرُ ثَلَاثًا رَبِّ إِنِّي ظَلَمْتُ نَفْسِي فَاغْفِرْ لِي إِنَّهُ لَا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ وَقَالَ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى سُبْحَانَكَ إِنِّي ظَلَمْتُ نَفْسِي فَاغْفِرْ لِي فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ ثُمَّ ضَحِكَ قُلْتُ مِنْ أَيِّ شَيْءٍ ضَحِكْتَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ؟ قَالَ «رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ صَنَعَ كَمَا صَنَعْتُ ثُمَّ ضَحِكَ» قُلْتُ مِنْ أَيِّ شَيْءٍ ضَحِكْتَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَيَعْجَبُ مِنْ عَبْدِهِ إِذَا قَالَ «اغْفِرْ لِي ذُنُوبِي يَعْلَمُ أَنَّهَ لَا يَغْفِرُ الذَّنْبَ غَيْرَهُ»

✧ I witnessed 'Ali when a mount was brought to him for him to ride. When he placed his foot in the stirrup, he said, 'In the name of Allah.' When he settled on its back, he said, 'Praise be to Allah.' Then he said, {Glory be to Him who has subjected this to us} [al-Zukhruf 13] up to His saying {and indeed to our Lord we will surely return} [al-Zukhruf 14]. Then he said, 'Praise be to Allah' three times, and 'Allah is greater' three times: 'My Lord, I have wronged myself, so forgive me, for none forgives sins but You.' And on another occasion he said, 'Glory be to You, I have wronged myself, so forgive me, for none forgives sins but You.' Then he laughed. I said, 'What made you laugh, O Commander of the Believers?' He said, 'I saw the Prophet ﷺ do as I did, then he laughed.' I said, 'What made you laugh, O Messenger of Allah?' He said, 'Your Lord wonders at His servant when he says: Forgive me my sins, knowing that none forgives sin other than Him.'
