"عَنْ عَلىٍّ قَالَ: أُتِىَ النَّبىُّ ﷺ بسَبْعَةٍ مِنَ الأَنْصارِ فَأَمَرَ عَليَّا أَنْ يَضْرِبَ أَعْنَاقَهمْ، فَهَبَطَ جِبْرِيلُ فقال: يَا مُحَمَّدُ اضْرِبْ أَعْنَاقَ هَؤلاَء السِّتَةِ، وَلاَ تَضْرِبْ عُنُقَ هذَا. قَالَ: يَا جِبْرِيلُ: لِمَ؟ قَالَ: لأَنَّهُ كَانَ حَسَنَ الْخُلُقِ، سَمْح الْكَفِّ، مُطْعِمًا لِلطَّعَامِ قَالَ: يَا جِبْرِيلُ! أَشئٌ عَنْكَ أَوْ عَنْ رَبِّكَ؟ قَالَ: رَبِّ أَمَرَنِى بِذَلِكَ".

"Narrated from 'Ali, who said: 'Seven men from the Ansar were brought to the Prophet ﷺ, and he commanded 'Ali to strike their necks. Gabriel descended and said: 'O Muhammad, strike the necks of these six, and do not strike the neck of this one.' He said: 'O Gabriel, why?' He said: 'Because he had good character, a generous hand, and fed people food.' He said: 'O Gabriel, is this from you or from your Lord?' He said: 'My Lord commanded me with that.'"
