“I witnessed Ali having an animal brought to him to ride. When he placed his foot in the stirrup he said: ‘In the Name of Allah,’ (Bismillāh) [three times]. So then, once he had ascended upon its back, he said: ‘All praise is due to Allah.’ (Al-ḥamdulillāh) then he said: Glory is to Him Who has subjected this to us, and we were not able to do it. And, surely, to our Lord are we returning (Subḥān alladhī sakh-khara lanā hādhā wa mā kunnā lahū muqrinīn. Wa innā ilā rabbinā lamunqalibūn). Then he said: ‘All praise is due to Allah (Al-ḥamdulillāh)’ – three times – and ‘Allah is the Greatest (Allāhu Akbar)’ – three times – ‘Glory is to You, indeed I have wronged myself, so forgive me, for indeed none forgives sins except You (Subḥānaka innī qad ẓalamtu nafsī faghfirlī fa-innahū lā yaghfirudh-dhunūba illā ant).’ Then he laughed. So I said: ‘O Commander of the Believer! What caused you to laugh?’ He said: ‘I saw the Messenger of Allah do as I did, then he ﷺ laughed, so I said, ‘What cause you to laugh?’ He said: ‘Indeed, your Lord is very pleased with His worshipper when he says: “O my Lord, forgive me my sins, indeed, no one other than You forgives sins.”

حدثني أبو زياد القطان عن يحيى بن سعيد قال كنت أعجب من حديث علي بن ربيعة كنت ردف علي لأن علي بن ربيعة كان حدثا في عهد علي ومثله أنكرت أن يكون ردف علي حتى حدثنا سفيان عن أبي إسحاق عن علي بن ربيعة قلت لسفيان سمعه أبو إسحاق من علي بن ربيعة فقال سألت أبا إسحاق عنه فقال حدثني رجل عن علي بن ربيعة
machine translationAbū Ziyād al-Qaṭṭān narrated to me from Yaḥyā b. Saʿīd, who said: I used to be amazed at the hadith of ʿAlī b. Rabīʿah, "I was riding behind ʿAlī", because ʿAlī b. Rabīʿah was a youth in the time of ʿAlī, and I denied that someone like him could have been riding behind ʿAlī, until Sufyān narrated to us from Abū Isḥāq, from ʿAlī b. Rabīʿah. I said to Sufyān: Did Abū Isḥāq hear it from ʿAlī b. Rabīʿah? He said: I asked Abū Isḥāq about it, and he said: A man narrated it to me from ʿAlī b. Rabīʿah.
