"عَنْ أَبِى مُحَمَّدٍ النَّهْدِىِّ، عَنْ شيْخٍ مِنْ أهْلِ الكُوفَةِ: أَنَّ عَلىَّ بْنَ أَبَى طَالِبٍ خَرَجَ فىِ يَوْمِ عِيدٍ فَإذَا النَّاسُّ يُصلُّونَ قبْلَ خُرُوجِ الإِمَامِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ: أَلَّا تَنْهَى هَؤُلَاءِ عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ، قَالَ: إِذْنْ أَكُون كَمَا قَالَ الله {الَّذِي يَنْهَى (9) عَبْدًا إِذَا صَلَّى}، وَلَكِنْ نُحَدَّثُهُم بِمَا شَهِدْنَا مَعَ رسُولِ الله ﷺ خَرَجَ فَلَمْ يُصَلِّ قَبْلَها وَلَا بَعْدَهَا".

"From Abu Muhammad al-Nahdi, from a shaykh from the people of Kufah: Ali ibn Abi Talib went out on a day of 'Eid and found the people praying before the Imam came out. A man said to him: 'Will you not forbid these people from praying?' He said: 'Then I would be as Allah said: {Have you seen the one who forbids (9) a servant when he prays} (96:9-10). Rather, we will inform them of what we witnessed with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ: he went out and did not pray before it or after it.'"
