Musnad Ahmad — Hadith #45723

Abdullah told us, Abu Bakr told me, Amr bin Hammad told us, on the authority of Asbat bin Nasr, on the authority of Simak, on the authority of Hanash, on the authority of Ali, may God be pleased with him. God said on his authority that when the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, sent him to declare Bara’ah, he said, O Prophet of God, I am neither of the tongue nor of the orator. He said It is inevitable that I will go with it or that you will go with it. He said, “If that is the case, then I will go.” He said, “Go, for God will establish it.” Your tongue and guides your heart. He said, then he put his hand on his mouth.
