And it was narrated that once he was praying in his home, and there began fire. People called him: “O grandson of prophet, fire!” But he didn’t raise his head, and fire was soon extinguished. He was asked: “What prevented you from reaction to fire?” He said: “The future fire (of hell)”[2].
Sufyan said: “One man came to Ali ibn Hussain and said: “Such and such man harming you, abusing you”. He said: “Let’s go to him”. And man went to him; he thought that Ali would defend himself.

Muhammad ibn Hatib narrated from Ali ibn Al-Hussain, that people from Iraq came to him and talked about Abu Bakr, Umar and Uthman. When they finished their talk, Ali asked: “Would you tell me? Are you these people which were mentioned by Allah in the verse “(It is) for the poor who fled their homes and their possessions, seeking grace of Allah and (His) pleasure, and assisting Allah and His Messenger: these it is that are the truthful” (Hashr 8)? They said: “No”.
May be you are people which were mentioned by Allah in this verse “And those who made their abode in the city and in the faith before them love those who have fled to them, and do not find in their hearts a need of what they are given, and prefer (them) before themselves though poverty may afflict them, and whoever is preserved from the niggardliness of his soul, these it is that are the successful ones” (Hashr 9)? They answered negative. He said them: “You yourself testified that you are not from those two groups, and I testify that you are not from people which were mentioned by Allah in this verse “And those who come after them say: Our Lord! forgive us and those of our brethren who had precedence of us in faith, and do not allow any spite to remain in our hearts towards those who believe, our Lord! surely Thou art Kind, Merciful” (Hashr 10). So leave (me), may Allah give you what you deserve”[8].
As it was narrated Nafi ibn Jubair said to Ali ibn al-Hussain: “You are master of people, and you are going to such and such slave (meaning Zayd ibn Aslam) and siting with him?” Ali answered: “Knowledge, wherever it goes, it should be followed” [9].

Once Ali ibn Hussain was asked why he cryes so much. He said: “Don’t blaim me for that. Even prophet Yaqub cryed whem he lost one of his sons. And he didn’t even know if he died or not. But I have seen 14 dead bodies of men from my family during one battle. Do you think that grief for them already left my heart?” [12]
Imam Bukhari narrated in his “Saheeh” from Abu Hurayra: “The Prophet said, “Whoever frees a Muslim slave, Allah will save all the parts of his body from the (Hell) Fire as he has freed the body-parts of the slave.” Said bin Marjana said that he narrated that Hadith to ‘Ali bin Al-Hussain and he freed his slave for whom ‘Abdullah bin Ja’far had offered him ten thousand Dirhams or one-thousand Dinars”[13].

Urwa ibn Abdullah said: “I asked Abu Jafar Muhammad about patterns on the blade, he answered: “No harm in that because there were patterns on the blade of Abu Bakr as-Siddiq”. I asked: “You said as-Siddiq?” He stood up sharply, turned to the Qibla, and said: “Whoever wouldn’t say as-Siddiq about him, may Allah wouldn’t accept his words nor in the earth, neither in the hereafter”[16].
Shuba al-Hayat said: “When Abu Jafar Muhammad ibn Ali bid farewell to me, he said: “Inform people of Kufa, that I am far away from people which disassociate themselves from Abu Bakr and Umar”[17]
And it was reported that he said: “A man who doesn’t know significance of Abu Bakr and Umar would be ignorant in sunnah”[18].

He said: “They are companions of Muhammad”. I said that people say it’s about Ali, and he answered: “Ali is from them”[21].
