حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَعِيلُ بْنُ أَبِي خَالِدٍ عَنْ عَامِرٍ قَالَ غَسَّلَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلِيٌّ وَالْفَضْلُ وَأُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ وَهُمْ أَدْخَلُوهُ قَبْرَهُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مَرْحَبٌ أَوْ أَبُو مَرْحَبٍ أَنَّهُمْ أَدْخَلُوا مَعَهُمْ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ عَوْفٍ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ عَلِيٌّ قَالَ إِنَّمَا يَلِي الرَّجُلَ أَهْلُهُ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 3209
Narrated Amir: Ali, Fadl and Usamah ibn Zayd washed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and they put him in his grave. Marhab or Ibn Abu Marhab told me that they also made Abdur Rahman ibn Awf join them. When Ali became free, he said: The People of the man serve him.
