Jami' at-Tirmidhi — Hadith #29882

Qutaibah told us, he said, Hatim bin Ismail told us, on the authority of Bukayr bin Mismar, on the authority of Amir bin Saad bin Abi Waqqas, on the authority of his father, he said Muawiyah bin Abi Sufyan ordered Saad and said, “What prevents you from cursing Abu Turab?” He said, “As for what I mentioned three things that the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said about them.” I will not curse him, peace be upon him, because I have one of them more beloved to me than red camels. I heard the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, saying to Ali and his successor in some matters. His battles, and Ali said to him, “O Messenger of God, you leave me alone with the women and children.” Then the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said, “As for You are satisfied to be to me what Aaron was to Moses, except that there will be no prophethood after me.” And I heard him say on the Day of Khaybar, “I will be given “The banner of a man who loves God and His Messenger, and whom God and His Messenger love.” He said, “So we debated over it, and he said, ‘Call for Ali for me.’ So he brought it to him.” He turned red and spat in his eyes, then handed the banner to him, and God granted him victory. And this verse was revealed: (So say, “Come, let us call our sons.” And your sons) The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, called upon Ali, Fatima, Hassan, and Hussein, and said, “Oh God, these are my family.” He said Abu Issa, this is a good and authentic hadith, but it is strange from this perspective.
