قَالَ أَنَسٌ فَذَهَبْتُ فَوَجَدْتُ عَلِيّاً كَمَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص فَحَمَلْتُهُ عَلَى الْبَغْلَةِ فَأَتَيْتُ بِهِ إِلَيْهِ فَلَمَّا أَنْ بَصُرَ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص قَالَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ Anas said, ‘I went and found Ali -asws like what Rasool-Allah -saww had said. I carried him -asws upon the mule and came with him -asws to him -saww .
When he -asws sighted Rasool-Allah -saww , he -asws said: ‘The greetings be unto you -saww , O Rasool-Allah -saww !’ قَالَ وَ عَلَيْكَ السَّلَامُ يَا أَبَا الْحَسَنِ اجْلِسْ فَإِنَّ هَذَا مَوْضِعٌ قَدْ جَلَسَ فِيهِ سَبْعُونَ نَبِيّاً مُرْسَلًا مَا جَلَسَ فِيهِ مِنَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ أَحَدٌ إِلَّا وَ أَنَا خَيْرٌ مِنْهُ وَ قَدْ جَلَسَ فِي مَوْضِعِ كُلِّ نَبِيٍّ أَخٌ لَهُ مَا جَلَسَ مِنَ الْإِخْوَةِ أَحَدٌ إِلَّا وَ أَنْتَ خَيْرٌ مِنْهُ He -saww said: ‘And upon you -asws be the greetings, O Abu Al-Hassan -asws , be seated, for this place has been sat upon by ‘سَبْعُونَ نَبِيّاً مُرْسَلًا’ (70) seventy Mursil Prophets -as .
No one from the Prophets as has sat in it except and I -saww am better than him as , and in the place of every Prophet as , a brother as of his as . No one from the brothers as (of the Prophets as ) has sat except and you -asws are better than him as ’. (An extract).
