He said, ‘We went out with Ali -asws when Rasool-Allah -saww sent him -asws .

He said, ‘We went out with Ali -asws when Rasool-Allah -saww sent him -asws . When we were near from the fortress, its people came out to him -asws . He -asws fought them. A man from the Jews struck him -asws and his -asws shield dropped. Ali -asws grabbed the door of the fortress and shield with it from himself -asws . It did not cease to be in his -asws hands and he -asws was fighting until Allah -azwj Granted victory to him -asws .

ثُمَّ أَلْقَاهُ مِنْ يَدِهِ فَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنِي فِي سَبْعَةِ نَفَرٍ أَنَا مِنْهُمْ‏ نَجْهَدُ عَلَى أَنْ نَقْلِبَ ذَلِكَ الْبَابَ فَمَا اسْتَطَعْنَا أَنْ نَقْلِبَهُ. Then he -asws threw it from his -asws hands. You could have seen me being among seven persons struggling upon overturning that door, but we were unable to overturn it’.

[9] In another Hadith: و بإسناده عن ليث بن أبي سليم عن أبي جعفر محمد بن علي ع قال حدثني جابر بن عبد الله‏ أن عليا ع حمل الباب يوم خيبر حتى صعد المسلمون عليه فاقتحموها ففتحوها و أنه حرك بعد ذلك فلم يحمله أربعون رجلا..

By his chain from Lays Bin Abu Saleem, from Abu Ja’far Muhammad Bin Ali -asws having said: ‘It is narrated to me -asws by Jabir Bin Abdullah that Ali -asws carried the door on the day of Khyber until the Muslims climbed upon it and broke it and opened it, and it had to be moved after that, but forty men could not carry it’’. قال و روي من وجه آخر عن جابر ثم اجتمع عليه سبعون رجلا فكان جهدهم أن أعادوا الباب.

He said, ‘And it is reported from another aspect from Jabir, ‘The seventy men gathered upon it, and they had struggled to return the door’.

وَ بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى‏ قَالَ كَانَ عَلِيٌّ ع يَلْبَسُ فِي الْحَرِّ وَ الشِّتَاءِ الْقَبَاءَ الْمَحْشُوَّ الثَّخِينَ وَ مَا يُبَالِي الْحَرَّ فَأَتَانِي أَصْحَابِي فَقَالُوا إِنَّا رَأَيْنَا مِنْ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ شَيْئاً فَهَلْ رَأَيْتَ قُلْتُ وَ مَا هُوَ قَالُوا رَأَيْنَاهُ يَخْرُجُ عَلَيْنَا فِي الْحَرِّ الشَّدِيدِ فِي الْقَبَاءِ الْمَحْشُوِّ الثَّخِينِ وَ مَا يُبَالِي الْحَرَّ وَ يَخْرُجُ عَلَيْنَا فِي الْبَرْدِ الشَّدِيدِ فِي الثَّوْبَيْنِ الْخَفِيفَيْنِ وَ مَا يُبَالِي الْبَرْدَ فَهَلْ سَمِعْتَ فِي ذَلِكَ شَيْئاً فَقُلْتُ لَا And by his chain from Abdul Rahman Bin Abu Layli who said, ‘Ali -asws wore the thick stuffed coat in the heat and the winter and did not care of the heat.
