173. Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al-No’man, from Ibn Muskaan, from Al-Hassan Al-Sayqal who said: I heard Abu Abdullah saying that a friend of Ali
does not eat except for the Permissible because his Master
was like that, and the friend of Usman does not care whether he eats the Permissible or the Prohibited because his master was like that’. He (the narrator) said, ‘Then he
returned to the mention of Ali
, so he
said; ‘But, by the One Who (azwj) Took his
soul, he
did not eat anything Prohibited in the world, be it little or a lot, until he
departed from it. And there were not presented to him
two matters both of them in obedience to Allah (azwj) except that he
chose the more difficult one of the two for his
body, and there did not descend any difficulty upon the Rasool Allah ﷺ at all except that he
faced it, being relied upon for it. And no one from this community can endure the deeds of the Rasool Allah ﷺ after him ﷺ apart from him
. And he
would work like a man as if he could see into the Paradise and the Fire, and he
had freed one thousand slaves from his
wealth. All of that was from what he
had worked by his
own hands, making his
forehead perspire for the Sake of Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic, seeking to be free from the Fire. And there was no meal for him
except for the vinegar and oil, and the sweetness of the dates if he
could find them. And his
clothing was the cotton. If he
found extra in his clothes, he
would call for the scissors and cut it off’.
