"عَنْ عَلِىٍّ قَالَ: قَالَ لِى رسُولُ الله ﷺ يَا عَلِىُّ مَنْ أشْقَى الأَوَّلِينَ؟ قُلْتُ: عاقِرُ النَّاقَةِ، قَالَ: صَدَقْتَ، فَمَنْ أَشْقَى الآخِرِينَ؟ قُلْتُ: لَا أَدْرِى. قَالَ: الَّذِى يَضْرِبُكَ عَلَى هَذِهِ كَمَا عَاقِر النَّاقَةِ أَشْقَى بَنِى فُلَانٍ مِنْ ثَمُودَ، وَنَسَبَهُ النَّبِىُّ ﷺ إِلَى فَخِذِهِ الأَدْنَى دُونَ ثَمُودَ أَوْ كَمَا قَالَ".

"From Ali, who said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me: 'O Ali, who is the most wretched of the earlier people?' I said: 'The one who hamstrung the she-camel.' He said: 'You are right. Then who is the most wretched of the later people?' I said: 'I do not know.' He said: 'The one who will strike you here,' and he pointed to his head, 'like the one who hamstrung the she-camel, the most wretched of the sons of so-and-so from Thamud.' The Prophet ﷺ attributed him to his nearer clan, not to Thamud, or as he said."
