"عن محمدِ بنِ الحنفيةِ قالَ: قلتُ لعلىِّ بنِ أَبى طالبٍ: إنَّ النَّاسَ يزعمُونَ في قولِ الله تعالى: {وَيَتْلُوهُ شَاهِدٌ مِنْهُ} إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ التَّالِى، فقالَ: وَدِدْتُ أَنِّى أَنَا هُوَ، ولكنَّهُ لِسَانُ محمدٍ ﷺ ".

"On the authority of Muhammad ibn al-Hanafiyyah who said: I said to Ali ibn Abi Talib: People claim, regarding the words of Allah, the Exalted: {And a witness from Him follows it}, that you are the one who follows it. He said: I wish I were he, but he is the tongue of Muhammad ﷺ."
