حُمَيْدُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْكِنْدِيِّ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ الْمِيثَمِيِّ عَنْ أَبَانِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ نُعْمَانَ الرَّازِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ انْهَزَمَ النَّاسُ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) فَغَضِبَ غَضَباً شَدِيداً قَالَ وَ كَانَ إِذَا غَضِبَ انْحَدَرَ عَنْ جَبِينِهِ مِثْلُ اللُّؤْلُؤِ مِنَ الْعَرَقِ قَالَ فَنَظَرَ فَإِذَا عَلِيٌّ (عليه السلام) إِلَى جَنْبِهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ الْحَقْ بِبَنِي أَبِيكَ مَعَ مَنِ انْهَزَمَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لِي بِكَ أُسْوَةٌ قَالَ فَاكْفِنِي هَؤُلَاءِ فَحَمَلَ فَضَرَبَ أَوَّلَ مَنْ لَقِيَ مِنْهُمْ فَقَالَ جَبْرَئِيلُ (عليه السلام) إِنَّ هَذِهِ لَهِيَ الْمُوَاسَاةُ يَا مُحَمَّدُ فَقَالَ إِنَّهُ مِنِّي وَ أَنَا مِنْهُ فَقَالَ جَبْرَئِيلُ (عليه السلام) وَ أَنَا مِنْكُمَا يَا مُحَمَّدُ فَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) فَنَظَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) إِلَى جَبْرَئِيلَ (عليه السلام) عَلَى كُرْسِيٍّ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَ الْأَرْضِ وَ هُوَ يَقُولُ لَا سَيْفَ إِلَّا ذُو الْفَقَارِ وَ لَا فَتَى إِلَّا عَلِيٌّ.

90. Humayd Ibn Ziyad, from Al-Hassan Bin Muhammad Al-Kindy, from Ahmad Bin Al-Hassan Al-Maythami, from Aban Ibn Uthman, from Nu’man Al-Razi, who has narrated the following: Abu Abdullah (a.s) has said: ‘The people routed on the Day of Uhad, from Rasulallah ﷺ, so he became very angry. He said: ‘Whenever he became angry, sweat would descend from his forehead like pearls.' He said: ‘So he looked around so there was Ali (a.s) by his side. So the Prophet said to him: 'Join with the sons of your father (and go after), the ones who have fled from Rasulallah.' So Ali (a.s) said: 'O Rasulallah, you are an example for me.' He said: 'So suffice for me against these (enemies).' So Ali rode and struck the first one he met from them. So Jibra'il (a.s) said: ‘This is the consolation, O Muhammad!’ Muhammad replied: ‘He is from me and I am from him.' So Jibra'il (a.s) said: ‘And I am from you both, O Muhammad.' Abu Abdullah (a.s) said: ‘So the Rasulallah ﷺ looked towards Jibra'il (a.s) who was on a seat of gold in between the sky and the earth and he was saying: ‘There is no sword except for Dhu al-Faqar and no warrior like Ali (a.s).'"
