4-34 Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Ishaq narrated that Abu Muhammad Abdullah ibn Salih al-Bokhari quoted Yaqoob ibn Hamid ibn Kasib, on the authority of Sufyan ibn Ayyineh, on the authority of Abi Najih, on the authority of his father, on the authority of Rabi’at al-Jarshi ,

“There was a mention of Ali (MGB) in the presence of Muawiyah when Sa’ed ibn Abi Vaqas was present. Se’ed said, ‘You mentioned Ali’s name. Indeed Ali (MGB) had four characteristics. If I had even one of these qualities, it would be better than everything, even owning a flock of red-haired camels . Remember that the Prophet said the following in the Battle of Khaybar, ‘Tomorrow I shall hand the flag to the one (whom God and the Prophet love, and he loves God and the Prophet.) Also remember that the Prophet said to Ali (MGB), ‘Your position relative to me is the same as Aaron’s position relative to Moses.’ Sa’ed forgot the fourth.”
