Ash-Shama'il al-Muhammadiyah 232

Translation

"I was present when 'Ali ᴿᴬ had an animal brought for him to ride. When he placed his foot in the stirrup, he said: “In the Name of Allah [Bismillah],” and when he settled on its back, he said: “Praise be to Allah!” Then he said: “Glory be to the One who has placed this at our disposal, for we would not have been equal to the task [Subhanalladhi sakhkhara la-na hadha wa ma kunna la-hu muqrinin], and to our Lord we are surely returning [wa inna ila Rabbina la-munqalibun]. (Al-Qur'an;43:13-14)Then he said: “Praise be to Allah,” three times, and: “Allah is Supremely Great,” three times, then: “Glory be to You! I have wronged myself, so forgive me, for no one forgives sins but You!” Then he laughed, so I said to him: “What has made you laugh, O Commander of the Believers?” He said: “I saw Allah’s Messenger ﷺ do just as I did now, after which he laughed, so I said: "What has made you laugh, O Messenger of Allah?" He replied: ‘Your Lord surely marvels at His servant when he says: “My Lord, forgive me my sins, knowing that no one but He forgives sins'!”

  حدثني أبو زياد القطان عن يحيى بن سعيد قال كنت أعجب من حديث علي بن ربيعة كنت ردف علي لأن علي بن ربيعة كان حدثا في عهد علي ومثله أنكرت أن يكون ردف علي حتى حدثنا سفيان عن أبي إسحاق عن علي بن ربيعة قلت لسفيان سمعه أبو إسحاق من علي بن ربيعة فقال سألت أبا إسحاق عنه فقال حدثني رجل عن علي بن ربيعة

  machine translationAbū Ziyād al-Qaṭṭān narrated to me from Yaḥyā b. Saʿīd, who said: I used to be amazed at the hadith of ʿAlī b. Rabīʿah, "I was riding behind ʿAlī", because ʿAlī b. Rabīʿah was a youth in the time of ʿAlī, and I denied that someone like him could have been riding behind ʿAlī, until Sufyān narrated to us from Abū Isḥāq, from ʿAlī b. Rabīʿah. I said to Sufyān: Did Abū Isḥāq hear it from ʿAlī b. Rabīʿah? He said: I asked Abū Isḥāq about it, and he said: A man narrated it to me from ʿAlī b. Rabīʿah. Report a problem
