حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَعِيلَ الرَّازِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُوسَی أَنْبَأَنَا الْعَلَائُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ عَنْ الْمِنْهَالِ عَنْ عَبَّادِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ أَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ وَأَخُو رَسُولِهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَنَا الصِّدِّيقُ الْأَکْبَرُ لَا يَقُولُهَا بَعْدِي إِلَّا کَذَّابٌ صَلَّيْتُ قَبْلَ النَّاسِ بِسَبْعِ سِنِينَ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 120
It was narrated that ‘Abbád bin ‘Abdullah said; “Ali said: ‘I am the slave of Allah and the brother of His Messenger p.b.u.h. .I am the greatest teller of the truth (Siddiq Akbar), arid no one will say this after me but a liar. I prayed seven years before the people.”
