"عَنْ سَالِم بْنِ أَبِى الجَعْدِ قَالَ: سُئِلَ عَلِيٌّ عَنْ ذِى القَرْنينِ أيْنَ هُوَ؟ فَقَالَ: سَمِعْتُ نَبِيَّكُمْ ﷺ يَقُولُ: هُوَ عَبْدٌ، وَفِى لفْظٍ: رَجُلٌ نَاصَحَ الله فَنَصَحَهُ وَإنَّ فِيكُمْ لَشِبْهَهُ أَوْ مِثْلَهُ".

"From Salim ibn Abi al-Ja'd, who said: 'Ali was asked about Dhul-Qarnayn, where he was. He said: 'I heard your Prophet ﷺ say: He was a servant,' and in another wording: 'a man who gave sincere counsel to Allah, so Allah gave him sincere counsel, and indeed among you is one like him or similar to him.'"
