حَدَّثَنَا عَبْد اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ أَنْبَأَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ خَبَّابٍ عَنْ جَرِيرِ بْنِ حَيَّانَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّ عَلِيًّا رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ لَأَبْعَثَنَّكَ فِيمَا بَعَثَنِي فِيهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ أُسَوِّيَ كُلَّ قَبْرٍ وَأَنْ أَطْمِسَ كُلَّ صَنَمٍ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 889
It was narrated from Jareer bin Hayyan, from his father, that 'Ali (RA) said to his father: I shall certainly send you on the same mission as the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) sent me: level every grave and destroy every idol.
