حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَعِيلُ بْنُ مُوسَی الْفَزَارِيُّ أَخْبَرَنَا شَرِيکٌ عَنْ أَبِي رَبِيعَةَ الْإِيَادِيِّ عَنْ ابْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِعَلِيٍّ يَا عَلِيُّ لَا تُتْبِعْ النَّظْرَةَ النَّظْرَةَ فَإِنَّ لَکَ الْأُولَی وَلَيْسَتْ لَکَ الْآخِرَةُ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 2149
Narrated Buraydah ibn al-Hasib: The Prophet ﷺ said: to Ali: Do not give a second look, Ali, (because) while you are not to blame for the first, you have no right to the second.
