"عَنْ أَبِى الطُّفَيْلِ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عَلِيّا يَقُولُ: لَا أَغْسِلُ رَأسِى بِغُسْلٍ حَتَّى آتِىَ الْبَصْرَةَ فَأَحْرِقَهَا ثُم أَسُوقَ (النَّاسَ) () بِعَصَاتِى إِلَى مِصْرَ، فَأَتَيْتُ أَبَا مَسْعُودٍ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ فَقَالَ: إِنَّ عَلِيّا يُورِدُ الأُمُورَ مَوَارِدَهَا وَلَا تُحْسِنُونَ أنْ تَصْدُرُوهَا، عَلِىٌّ لَا يَغْسِلُ رَأسَهُ بغُسْلٍ، وَلَا يَأتِى الْبَصْرَةَ، وَلَا يحْرِقُهَا، وَلَا يَسُوقُ النَّاسَ بِعَصَاه إِلَى مِصْرَ، عَلِىٌ رَجُلٌ أَصْلَعُ رَأسُهُ مِثْلُ الطَّسْتِ إِنَّمَا حَوْلَهُ رُغَيْبَاتٌ () ".

Abu al-Tufayl said: I heard 'Ali say: I will not wash my head with a ghusl until I come to Basra and burn it, then drive the people with my staff to Egypt. I came to Abu Mas'ud and informed him, and he said: Indeed 'Ali brings matters to their watering places, but you do not do well in bringing them back. 'Ali does not wash his head with a ghusl, does not come to Basra, does not burn it, and does not drive the people with his staff to Egypt. 'Ali is a bald man whose head is like a basin; around him are rughaybat ().
