أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أَنَا أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ دُحَيْمٍ الشَّيْبَانِيُّ، بِالْكُوفَةِ، ثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الْقَاضِي، ثَنَا يَعْلَى بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، وَجَعْفَرُ بْنُ عَوْنٍ، عَنْ بَسَّامٍ الصَّيْرَفِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ
قَالَ: دَخَلَ عَلَى عَلِيٍّ ؓ رَجُلَانِ فَطَرَحَ لَهُمَا وِسَادَةً فَجَلَسَ أَحَدُهُمَا عَلَى وِسَادَةٍ، وَجَلَسَ الْآخَرُ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ، فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ لِلَّذِي جَلَسَ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ: " قُمْ فَاجْلِسْ عَلَى الْوِسَادَةِ فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَأْبَى الْكَرَامَةَ إِلَّا حِمَارٌ " قَالَ الشَّيْخُ: " فَهَذَا مُنْقَطِعٌ، وَإِنْ صَحَّ ذَلِكَ فَهُوَ مَحْمُولٌ صَاحِبُهُ عَلَى أَنَّهُ إِنَّمَا لَمْ يَجْلِسْ عَلَيْهَا رَغْبَةً عَنْ قَبُولِ مَا أَكْرَمَهُ بِهِ، أَوْ رَغْبَةً عَنِ الَجُلُوسِ مَعَ صَاحِبِهِ، فَتَنَبَّهْ لِذَلِكَ عَلِيٌّ فَأَنْكَرَهُ عَلَيْهِ، وَأَمَّا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَإِنَّهُ كَانَ أَوْلَى بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ مِنْ أَنْفُسِهِمْ فَكَانَ لَهُ أَنْ يَجْلِسَ حَيْثُ شَاءَ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ

He said: Two men entered upon ʿAlī (may God be pleased with him), and he laid down a cushion for them. One of them sat on the cushion and the other sat on the ground. ʿAlī said to the one who sat on the ground: "Get up and sit on the cushion, for none refuses an honour except a donkey." The Shaykh said: "This is disconnected (munqaṭiʿ). And if it is authentic, then it is to be understood that he did not sit on it out of aversion to accepting the honour shown to him, or out of aversion to sitting with his companion, so ʿAlī noticed this and rebuked him for it. As for the Prophet ﷺ, he was closer to the believers than they are to themselves, so he had the right to sit wherever he wished. And God knows best."
