Musnad 'Ali Ibn Abi Talib

وَمِنْ مُسْنَدِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ

Arabic Text

حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ مَيْسَرَةَ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ وَهْبٍ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَعَثَ إِلَيْهِ حُلَّةً سِيَرَاءَ فَلَبِسَهَا وَخَرَجَ عَلَى الْقَوْمِ فَعَرَفَ الْغَضَبَ فِي وَجْهِهِ فَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يُشَقِّقَهَا بَيْنَ نِسَائِهِ‏.‏
