حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ حَارِثَةَ بْنِ مُضَرِّبٍ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ لَمَّا حَضَرَ الْبَأْسُ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ اتَّقَيْنَا بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَكَانَ مِنْ أَشَدِّ النَّاسِ مَا كَانَ أَوْ لَمْ يَكُنْ أَحَدٌ أَقْرَبَ إِلَى الْمُشْرِكِينَ مِنْهُ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 1042
It was narrated that 'Ali said: When the fighting grew intense on the day of Badr, we sought shelter by drawing close to the Messenger of Allah (PBUH), who was one of the strongest of the people, and no one was closer to the mushrikeen than him.
