‘Ali is the Imam of the noble, the killer of the wicked, and one who he helps is assisted

حدثني أبو بكر محمد بن علي الفقيه الإمام الشاشي ببخارى ثنا النعمان بن هرون البلدي ثنا أبو جعفر أحمد بن عبد الله بن يزيد الحراني ثنا عبد الرزاق ثنا سفيان الثوري عن عبد الله بن عثمان بن خثيم عن عبد الرحمن بن عثمان قال سمعت جابر بن عبد الله رضي الله عنهما يقول سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم و هو آخذ بضبع علي بن أبي طالب رضي الله عنه و هو يقول هذا أمير البررة قاتل الفجرة

Abu Bakr Muhammad ibn ‘Ali al Faqih al Imam al Shashi narrated to me in Bukhara―al Nu’man ibn Harun al Baldi narrated to us―Abu Jafar Ahmed ibn ‘Abdullah ibn Yazid al Harrani narrated to us―’Abdul Razzaq narrated to us―Sufyan al Thawri narrated to us from―’Abdullah ibn ‘Uthman ibn Khathyam from―’Abdul Rahman ibn ‘Uthman who said: I heard―Jabir ibn ‘Abdullah radiya Llahu ‘anhuma saying that he heard Rasulullah salla Llahu ‘alayhi wa sallam announcing while holding the arm of ‘Ali ibn Abi Talib, “This is the leader of the noble, the killer of the wicked.”

Al Hakim narrated it and declared the isnad sahih.[1] Al Dhahabi corrected him saying, “Nay, rather it is mawdu’, by Allah. Ahmed ibn ‘Abdullah is a kadhab.”[2]
