Jabir said, "The Prophet (ﷺ) ordered `Ali to keep the state of Ihram." Jabir added, "Ali bin Abi Talib
returned (from Yemen) when he was a governor (of Yemen). The Prophet (ﷺ) said to him, 'With what
intention have you assumed the state of Ihram?' `Ali said, "I have assumed Ihram with an intention as
that of the Prophet." Then the Prophet (ﷺ) said (to him), 'Offer a Hadi and keep the state of Ihram in
which you are now.' `Ali slaughtered a Hadi on his behalf."

`Ali bin Abi Talib sent a piece of gold not yet taken out of its ore, in a tanned leather container to
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) . Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) distributed that amongst four Persons: 'Uyaina bin Badr, Aqra bin
H`Abis, Zaid Al-Khail and the fourth was either Alqama or Amir bin at-Tufail. On that, one of his
companions said, "We are more deserving of this (gold) than these (persons)." When that news
reached the Prophet (ﷺ) , he said, "Don't you trust me though I am the truth worthy man of the One in the
Heavens, and I receive the news of Heaven (i.e. Divine Inspiration) both in the morning and in the
evening?" There got up a man with sunken eyes, raised cheek bones, raised forehead, a thick beard, a
shaven head and a waist sheet that was tucked up and he said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Be afraid of Allah."
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Woe to you! Am I not of all the people of the earth the most entitled to fear
Allah?" Then that man went away. Khalid bin Al-Wahd said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Shall I chop his
neck off?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "No, for he may offer prayers." Khalid said, "Numerous are those who
offer prayers and say by their tongues (i.e. mouths) what is not in their hearts." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "I
have not been ordered (by Allah) to search the hearts of the people or cut open their bellies." Then the
Prophet looked at him (i.e. that man) while the latter was going away and said, "From the offspring of
this (man there will come out (people) who will recite the Quran continuously and elegantly but it
will not exceed their throats. (They will neither understand it nor act upon it). They would go out of
the religion (i.e. Islam) as an arrow goes through a game's body." I think he also said, "If I should be
present at their time I would kill them as the nations a Thamud were killed."

When we arrived at Mecca, the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Whoever does not possess a Hadi should regard his
Ihram for Umra only." The Prophet (ﷺ) had a Hadi with him. `Ali bin Abi Talib came to us from Yemen
with the intention of performing Hajj. The Prophet (ﷺ) said (to him), "With what intention have you
assumed the Ihram, for your wife is with us?" `Ali said, "I assumed the lhram with the same intention
as that of the Prophet (ﷺ) ." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Keep on the state of lhram, as we have got the Hadi."
