In his “Taraif al-Maqal” book al-Burjardi wrote two ahadeth and referred both of them to book of Imam Ahmad.
He wrote in “Taraif” (2/295):
فلما رواه أحمد بن حنبل في المسند قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله : النظر إلى وجهك يا علي عبادة ، يا علي أنت سيد في الدنيا وسيد في الآخرة ، يا علي من أحبك فقد أحبني ، وحبيبي حبيب الله ، وعدوك عدوي وعدوي عدو الله ، الويل لمن أبغضك
And when Ahmad ibn Hanbal narrated in his “Musnad” that messenger of Allah (sallalahu alaihi wa ala alihi wa sallam) said: It’s worship looking to your face Ali. O Ali you are master in this world and hereafter, o Ali who loved you he loved me. And who loved me would be beloved by Allah. And your enemy my enemy and my enemy is enemy of Allah, WOE to the one who hates you!”
In the same book at page 300:
روى أحمد بن حنبل باسناده إلى ابن أبي ليلى عن أبيه ، قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله : الصديقون ثلاثة : حبيب النجار مؤمن آل يس الذي قال : يا قوم اتبعوا المرسلين ، وحزقيل مؤمن آل فرعون الذي قال : أتقتلون رجلا أن يقول ربي الله . وعلي بن أبي طالب عليه السلام الثالث وهو أفضلهم
Narrated Ahmad ibn Hanbal in his “Musnad” by chain till ibn Abu Layla from his father, that messenger of Allah (sallalahu alaihi wa ala alihi wa sallam) said: The Siddiqs are three: Habib al-Najjar, the believer from the family of Yasin, who said: `O my people! Follow the Messengers (of God);’ Izekiel, the believer from the family of Pharaoh, who said: `Do you intend to kill a man just for saying that his Lord is Allah?,’ and `Ali ibn Abu Talib, who is superior to all of them.
I didn’t come across to mentioned ahadeth in Musnad of Imam Ahmad.
