"عَنْ عَلِىٍّ قَالَ: دَعَانِى رَسُولُ الله ﷺ فَقَالَ: يَا عَلِيُّ: إِنَّ فِيكَ مِنْ عِيسَى مَثَلًا أَبْغَضَتْهُ اليَهُودُ حَتَّى بَهَتُوا أُمَّهُ وَأحَبتْهُ النَّصَارَى حَتَّى أَنْزَلُوهُ بِالمَنْزِلَةِ الَّتِى (لَيْسَ) بِهَا، وَقَالَ عَلِى: أَلاَ وَإنَّهُ يَهْلِكُ فِىَ رَجُلاَنِ: مُحِبٌّ مُطرٍ لِىَ يَقْرِظُنِى بِمَا لَيْسَ فِىَّ، وَمُبْغِضٌ مُفْتَرٍ يَحْمِلُهُ شَنآنِى عَلَى أَنْ يَبْهَتَنِى، أَلاَ وَإنِّى لَسْتُ بِنَبِىٍّ وَلاَ يُوحَى إِلَى، وَلَكِنِّى أعْمَلُ بكتَابِ الله وَسنَّةِ نَبيهِ ﷺ مَا اسْتطَعْتُ، فَمَا أمَرْتُكُمْ بِهِ مِنْ طَاعَةِ الله فَحَقٌّ عَلَيْكُمْ طَاعَتِى فِيمَا أَحْبَبْتُمْ أَوْ كَرِهْتُمْ، وَمَا أَمَرْتُكُمْ بِمَعْصِية أَنَا وَغَيْرِى، فَلاَ طَاعَةَ لأحَد فِى مَعصِيَةِ الله، إِنَّمَا الطَّاعَةُ في المَعْرُوفِ".

"From ʿAlī, who said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ called me and said: O ʿAlī, there is in you a likeness to ʿĪsā: the Jews hated him until they slandered his mother, and the Christians loved him until they placed him in a position that is not his." And ʿAlī said: "Beware, two men will perish because of me: an excessive lover who praises me with what is not in me, and a slanderous hater whose enmity toward me drives him to slander me. Beware, I am not a prophet, and no revelation comes to me, but I act by the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Prophet ﷺ as much as I am able. So whatever I command you of obedience to Allah, my obedience is due upon you in what you like or dislike. And whatever I command you of disobedience, I or anyone else, there is no obedience to anyone in disobedience to Allah; obedience is only in what is right."
