and deemed it weak. It is reported that Ahmad ibn Hanbal graded it fair, as al-Tirmidhī did. Abū al-Abbās ibn Uqda compiled a work collecting all its transmission routes (1).

Ibn Hazm said (2): “Among the reports concerning Alī’s virtues that have been authentically established are the words of the Prophet—peace and blessings be upon him—: ‘You are to me as Aaron was to Moses, except that there is no prophet after me’ (3); and his words (4): ‘Tomorrow I shall certainly give the banner to a man who loves Allah and His Messenger, and whom Allah and His Messenger love’ (5). This description necessarily applies to every Muslim, believer, and virtuous person (6). There is also his solemn declaration—peace and blessings be upon him—(7) concerning Alī: ‘No one loves him except a believer, and no one hates him except a hypocrite’ (8). A similar statement has been authentically established concerning the Ansār, namely that (9) ‘No one who believes in Allah and the Last Day hates them’ (10).”

He said (11): “As for ‘Whoever has me as his ally has Alī as his ally,’ it is not authentic through a chain (12)

(1) Abū al-Abbās Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Saīd ibn Uqda al-Kūfī was born in 249 and died in 333. He inclined toward Shia views and would dictate material on “the disparagement of the Companions.” Sezgin’s book does not mention Ibn Uqda’s work on this hadith. See *Lisān al-Mīzān*, 1/263–266; *Mujam al-Muallifīn*, 2/106; *al-Alām*, 1/198; Sezgin, M [0–9] H [0–9], p. 361. (2) In *al-Fasl fī al-Milal wa-al-Ahwā wa-al-Nihal*, 4/224. (3) This hadith was cited earlier at 1/501, T [0–9]. (4) *Al-Fasl* reads: “and his words—peace be upon him—.” (5) This hadith was cited earlier at 4/289. (6) M reads: “for every believer, Muslim, and virtuous person.” *Al-Fasl* reads: “for every believer and virtuous person.” (7) *Al-Fasl* reads: “and his solemn declaration—peace be upon him—.” (8) This hadith was cited earlier at 4/296. (9) *Al-Fasl* reads: “Something similar concerning the Ansār—may Allah be pleased with them—is that…” (10) This hadith was cited earlier in substance at 4/297. (11) This follows immediately after the preceding passage. (12) S and B read: “through transmission routes.”
