[-/1] علل الشرائع: أحمد بن زياد بن جعفر الهمداني، عن علي بن إبراهيم بن هاشم، عن أبيه، عن أحمد بن محمد بن أبي نصر البزنطي ومحمد بن أبي عمير، عن أبان بن عثمان، عن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام قال: لما كان يوم أحد انهزم أصحاب رسول الله حتى لم يبق معه إلا علي بن أبي طالب عليه السلام وأبو دجانة سماك بن خرشة فقال له النبي صلى الله عليه وآله: يا أبا دجانة أما ترى قومك؟ قال: بلى قال: الحق بقومك قال: ما على هذا بايعت الله ورسوله قال: أنت في حل قال: والله لا تتحدث قريش بأني خذلتك وفررت حتى أذوق ما تذوق فجزاه النبي خيرا. وكان علي عليه السلام كلما حملت طائفة على رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله استقبلهم وردهم حتى أكثر فيهم القتل والجراحات حتى انكسر سيفه فجاء إلى النبي صلى الله عليه وآله فقال: يا رسول الله إن الرجل يقاتل بسلاحه وقد انكسر سيفي فأعطاه سيفه ذا الفقار فما زال يدفع به عن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله حتى أثر وانكر فنزل عليه جبرئيل وقال: يامحمد إن هذه لهي المواساة من علي لك فقال النبي صلى الله عليه وآله: إنه مني وأنا منه فقال جبرئيل: وأنا منكما وسمعوا دويا من السماء لا سيف إلا ذو الفقار ولا فتى إلا علي

1. [1/-] Ilal al-Sharai: Ahmad b. Ziyad b. Ja`far al-Hamdani from Ali b. Ibrahim b. Hashim from his father from Ahmad b. Muhammad b. Abi Nasr al-Bazanti and Muhammad b. Abi Umayr from Aban b. Uthman from Abi Abdillah عليه السلام who said: All the companions of the messenger of Allah ran away on the day of Uhud – no one was left among them except Ali b. Abi Talib عليه السلام and Abu Dujana Simak b. Kharasha. The prophet صلى الله عليه وآله said to him: O Aba Dujana – don’t you see your people? he said: I do, he said: join up with them, he said: this is not what I gave my pledge of allegiance to Allah and His messenger for! he said: you are released [from your pledge], he said: by Allah the Quraysh will never get the opportunity to say that I abandoned you and ran away until I taste what you taste! Then the prophet صلى الله عليه وآله prayed for a good recompense for him. Whenever a group used to attack the messenger of Allah – Ali عليه السلام would face them and repel them until he had killed a large number of them and injured others. He continued this way until his sword broke so he came to the prophet صلى الله عليه وآله and said: O messenger of Allah – a man can only fight with his weapon but my sword has broken! So he (the prophet) gave him his sword Dhu al-Fiqar and he (Ali) kept on defending the prophet using it until marks [wound traces] were inflicted on him and he became unrecognizable [because of a multitude of injuries]. Jibril descended and said: O Muhammad this is an incomparable support from Ali to you! so the prophet said: he is from me and I am from him, Jibril said: and I am from you both, and they heard a voice from heaven saying: there is no sword but Dhu al-Fiqar and the there is no young champion except Ali.
