Indeed Allah―the Blessed and Exalted―beautified you with such beauty that He never beautified servants with its like

حدثنا أحمد قال نا عثمان بن هشام بن الفضل بن دلهم البصري قال نا محمد بن كثير الكوفي قال نا علي بن الحزور عن أصبغ بن نباتة عن عمار بن ياسر قال سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم يقول لعلي إن الله تبارك و تعالى زينك بزينة لم يزين العباد بزينة مثلها إن الله تعالى حبب إليك المساكين و الدنو منهم و جعلك لهم إماما ترضى بهم و جعلهم أتباعا يرضون بك فطوبى لمن أحبك و صدق عليك و ويل لمن أبغضك و كذب عليك

Ahmed narrated to us saying―’Uthman ibn Hisham ibn al Fadl ibn Dulhum al Basri narrated to us―Muhammad ibn Kathir al Kufi narrated to us―’Ali ibn al Hazawwar from―Asbagh ibn Nubatah from―’Ammar ibn Yasir who reports that he heard Rasulullah salla Llahu ‘alayhi wa sallam saying to ‘Ali: “Indeed, Allah―the Blessed and Exalted―beautified you with such beauty that He never beautified servants with its like. Verily Allah―the Exalted―made the poor and nearness to them beloved to you and appointed you as their leader, you will be happy with them, and made them followers who are pleased with you. So glad tidings for the one who loves you and believes you and destruction to the one who hates you and denies you.”

Al Tabarani narrated it in al Mujam al Awsat[1] as well as al Haythami who said, “‘Amr ibn Jami’ appears therein and he is matruk (suspected of hadith forgery). ‘Ali ibn al Hazawwar is present and he is matruk as well.”[2]
