Musnad Imam Ahmad Bin Hanble

حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ وَعَفَّانُ الْمَعْنَى قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ أَخْبَرَنَا سِمَاكٌ عَنْ حَنَشِ بْنِ الْمُعْتَمِرِ أَنَّ عَلِيًّا رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ كَانَ بِالْيَمَنِ فَاحْتَفَرُوا زُبْيَةً لِلْأَسَدِ فَجَاءَ حَتَّى وَقَعَ فِيهَا رَجُلٌ وَتَعَلَّقَ بِآخَرَ وَتَعَلَّقَ الْآخَرُ بِآخَرَ وَتَعَلَّقَ الْآخَرُ بِآخَرَ حَتَّى صَارُوا أَرْبَعَةً فَجَرَحَهُمْ الْأَسَدُ فِيهَا فَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ مَاتَ فِيهَا وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ أُخْرِجَ فَمَاتَ قَالَ فَتَنَازَعُوا فِي ذَلِكَ حَتَّى أَخَذُوا السِّلَاحَ قَالَ فَأَتَاهُمْ عَلِيٌّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَقَالَ وَيْلَكُمْ تَقْتُلُونَ مِائَتَيْ إِنْسَانٍ فِي شَأْنِ أَرْبَعَةِ أَنَاسِيَّ تَعَالَوْا أَقْضِ بَيْنَكُمْ بِقَضَاءٍ فَإِنْ رَضِيتُمْ بِهِ وَإِلَّا فَارْتَفِعُوا إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ فَقَضَى لِلْأَوَّلِ رُبُعَ دِيَةٍ وَلِلثَّانِي ثُلُثَ دِيَةٍ وَلِلثَّالِثِ نِصْفَ دِيَةٍ وَلِلرَّابِعِ الدِّيَةَ كَامِلَةً قَالَ فَرَضِيَ بَعْضُهُمْ وَكَرِهَ بَعْضُهُمْ وَجَعَلَ الدِّيَةَ عَلَى قَبَائِلِ الَّذِينَ ازْدَحَمُوا قَالَ فَارْتَفَعُوا إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ بَهْزٌ قَالَ حَمَّادٌ أَحْسَبُهُ قَالَ كَانَ مُتَّكِئًا فَاحْتَبَى قَالَ سَأَقْضِي بَيْنَكُمْ بِقَضَاءٍ قَالَ فَأُخْبِرَ أَنَّ عَلِيًّا رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَضَى بِكَذَا وَكَذَا قَالَ فَأَمْضَى قَضَاءَهُ قَالَ عَفَّانُ سَأَقْضِي بَيْنَكُمْ

It was narrated from Hanash bin al-Mu'tamir that 'Ali (RA) was in Yemen and they dug a trap for a lion. One man came and fell into it; he grabbed onto another, who grabbed onto another, who grabbed onto another, until there were four of them. The lion wounded them, and some of them died in the pit and some of them were taken out and then died. They disputed about that until they took up arms (against one another). 'Ali (RA) came to them and said: Woe to you! Would you kill two hundred people for four men? Come and I will judge between you; if you accept it (all well and good), otherwise refer the matter to the Prophet (PBUH). He ruled that one quarter of the diyah should be given for the first one, one third of the diyah for the second one, half of the diyah for the third one and the complete diyah for the fourth one. Some of them accepted it and some of them did not like it. And he imposed the diyah on the tribes of the people who had crowded one another in that place. So they referred the matter to the Prophet (PBUH) Bahz said: Hammad said: I think he said: He was reclining, then he sat up and said: "I shall judge between you." Then he was told that 'Ali (RA) had issued such and such a verdict, and he approved of it, 'Affan said; 'I shall judge between you.

It was narrated from 'Ali that the Prophet (PBUH) said on the day of Ghadeer Khumm; "If I am a person's mawla (friend and supporter) then 'Ali is also his mawla” And the people added after that; "So take as friends those who take him as a friend and take as enemies those who take him as an enemy.”

It was narrated from Hujayyah bin 'Adiyy that 'Ali (RA) was asked about a cow and he said: [It may be sacrificed] on behalf of seven people. He was asked about the cow with a broken horn and he said: It does not matter. He was asked about a lame animal, and he said: If it can reach the place of sacrifice [then sacrifice it]. Then he said: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) instructed us to check the eyes and ears.

It was narrated that Ibn A' bud said: 'Ali bin Abi Talib (RA) said to me: O son of A' bud, do you know what the rights of the food are? I said: What are its rights, O son of Abu Talib? He said: To say: In the Name of Allah; O Allah, bless for us what You have provided for us. Do you know how to express gratitude when you have finished eating? I said: What is gratitude for it? He said: To say: Praise be to Allah Who has fed us and given us to drink. Then he said: Shall i not tell you about me and Fatimah (RA)? She was the daughter of the Messenger of Allah and she was one of the dearest of his family to him, and she was my wife. She worked with the millstone until the millstone left marks on her hand, and she brought water with a bucket until the bucket left marks on her chest. She took care of the house until her garment became dusty and she lit a fire under the pot until her garment became dirty, and she suffered hardship because of that. Some female captives - or servants - were brought to the Messenger of Allah (PBUH), and I said to her: Go to the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) and ask him for a servant to relieve you of the hardship you are in. So she went to the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) and she found some servants with him, then she came back and did not ask him for one.... and he narrated the hadeeth.... and he [the Messenger of Allah (PBUH)] said: "Shall i not tell you of something that is better for you than a servant? When you go to your bed, glorify Allah thirty-three times, praise Him thirty-three times, and magnify Him thirty- four times. She stuck her head out and said: I am content with Allah and His Messenger, twice. And he narrated a liadeeth like that of Ibn 'Ulayyah from al-Jurairi or similar to it.

حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ أَبِي حَسَّانَ عَنْ عَبِيدَةَ قَالَ كُنَّا نَرَى أَنَّ صَلَاةَ الْوُسْطَى صَلَاةُ الصُّبْحِ قَالَ فَحَدَّثَنَا عَلِيٌّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّهُمْ يَوْمَ الْأَحْزَابِ اقْتَتَلُوا وَحَبَسُونَا عَنْ صَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ اللَّهُمَّ امْلَأْ قُبُورَهُمْ نَارًا أَوْ امْلَأْ بُطُونَهُمْ نَارًا كَمَا حَبَسُونَا عَنْ صَلَاةِ الْوُسْطَى قَالَ فَعَرَفْنَا يَوْمَئِذٍ أَنَّ صَلَاةَ الْوُسْطَى صَلَاةُ الْعَصْرِ

It was narrated that 'Abeedah said: We used to think that the middle prayer was Fajr prayer. Then 'Ali (RA) told us that on the day of al-Ahzab they fought and were distracted from 'Asr prayer. The Prophet (PBUH) said: "O Allah, fill their graves with fire - or fill their bellies with fire - as they kept us from the middle prayer." Then on that day we realised that the middle prayer was 'Asr prayer.

It was narrated from 'Ali (RA) that the Prophet (PBUH) sent him a suit of silk, and he put it on and went out to the people, then he recognised anger on his [the Prophet's] face, and he [the Prophet (PBUH)] instructed him to cut it up and divide it among his womenfolk.

It was narrated that 'Abdul-Malik bin Maisarah said: I heard an-Nazzal bin Sabrah say: I saw 'Ali (RA) praying Zuhr, then he sat to listen to the people's needs. When the time for ' Asr came, a stone vessel of water was brought to him. He took a handful from it and wiped his face, forearms, head and feet. Then he took the leftover water and drank it whilst standing, and he said: Some people dislike this, but I saw the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) do it. And this is the wudoo' of one who has not broken his wudoo'.

It was narrated from ash- Sha'bi that 'Ali (RA) said to Sharahah: Perhaps you were forced? Perhaps your husband came to you? Perhaps...? She said: No. When she gave birth, he flogged her then he stoned her. It was said to him: Why did you flog her then stone her? He said: I flogged her in accordance with the Book of Allah and I stoned her in accordance with the Sitnnah of the Messenger of Allah (PBUH).

It was narrated that Abu Wa'il said: A man came to 'Ali (RA) and said: O Ameer al-Mu'mineen, I am unable to pay off my contract of manumission; help me. 'Ali (RA) said: Shall I not tell you some words that the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) taught me, then if you owe debts as great as Mount Seer in dinars, Allah will pay it off for you? He said: Yes indeed. He said: Say: O Allah, suffice me with what You have permitted so that I have no need of what You have forbidden, and make me independent of anyone other than You by Your grace.

It was narrated from 'Asim bin Kulaib: Abu Burdah bin Abi Moosa told me: I was sitting with Abu Moosa when 'Ali (RA) came to us and stood over Abu Moosa and told him to do something concerning the people. 'Ali (RA) said: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said to me: "Say: 'O Allah, guide me and correct my aim.' When you ask for guidance, think of directions when travelling, and when you think of proper aim, think of aiming an arrow." And he forbade me to put my ring on this - and Abu Burdah pointed to his forefinger or middle finger. 'Asim said: i am the one who got confused as to which of them he meant - and he forbade me to use red saddle cloths and garments made from a blend of linen and silk. Abu Burdah said: i said to Ameer al-Mu'mineen: What are red saddle cloths and what are garments made from a blend of linen and silk? He said: As for red saddle cloths, that is something that women used to make for their husbands to put on their mounts. And as for garments made from a blend of linen and silk, they were garments that came to us from Syria or Yemen -'Asim was not sure - which contained silk in a twisted shape like citrons. Abu Burdah said: When I saw the garment that is called as-Sabani [from a place in North Africa], I realised that this is what it was.
