أخبرنا أبو بكر محمد بن عبد الباقي أنا أبو الحسن علي بن إبراهيم بن عيسى المقرئ الباقلاني قراءة عليه و أنا حاضر نا أبو بكر بن مالك إملاء نا بن صالح الهاشمي نا هدبة بن خالد حدثني حماد بن سلمة عن علي بن زيد بن جدعان عن عدي بن ثابت و أبي هرون العبدي عن البراء بن عازب قال كنا مع رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم في حجة الوداع فكسح لرسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم تحت شجرتين و نودي في الناس إن الصلاة جامعة فدعا عليا و أخذ بيده فأقامه عن يمينه فقال ألست أولى بالمؤمنين من أنفسهم قالوا بلى قال ألست أولى بكل مؤمن من نفسه قالوا بلى و في أحد الحديثين أليس أزواجي أمهاتكم قالوا بلى قال هذا وليى و أنا مولاه الله وال من والاه و عاد من عاداه فقال له عمر هنيئا لك يا علي أصبحت مولاي و مولى كل مؤمن
Abu Bakr Muhammad ibn ‘Abdul Baqi informed us―Abu al Hassan ‘Ali ibn Ibrahim ibn ‘Isa al Muqri’ al Baqillani informed us (it was read to him and I was present)―Abu Bakr ibn Malik narrated to us with dictation―Ibn Salih al Hashimi narrated to us―Hudbah ibn Khalid narrated to us―Hammad ibn Salamah narrated to me from―’Ali ibn Zaid ibn Jud’an from―’Adi ibn Thabit and Abu Harun al ‘Abdi from―Bara’ ibn ‘Azib who relates:
We were with Rasulullah salla Llahu ‘alayhi wa sallam in Hajjat al Wada’. The space under two trees was cleaned for Rasulullah salla Llahu ‘alayhi wa sallam and an announcement was made among the people: Salah is gathering. He called ‘Ali and grabbed hold of his hand and made him stand at his right. He then announced, “Am I not more deserving of the believers than their ownselves?” They replied in the affirmative.
He announced, “Am I not closer to every believer than his own self?” They replied positively.
In one of the hadiths, “Are my wives not your mothers?” “Most definitely,” they replied.
He then said, “This is my wali (friend) and I am his mawla (friend). O Allah, befriend whoever befriends him and hate whoever hates him.”
‘Umar said to him, “Congratulations to you O ‘Ali! You have become my mawla and the mawla of every believer.”
The narration is da’if due to the presence of ‘Ali ibn Zaid ibn Jud’an. Al Nasa’i and al Daraqutni labelled him da’if.[1] Even if it had been sahih, it would not serve as evidence for them since the word mawla here means lover and helper. Allah subhanahu wa ta ‘ala states:
ذٰلِكَ بِأَنَّ اللَّهَ مَوْلَى الَّذِيْنَ آمَنُوْا
That is because Allah is the protector of those who have believed.[2]
