I heard the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , saying, "There are three qualities, if you possess one of them, it would be dearer to me than owning a red camel. I heard him saying, '(The relationship of the Prophet) is like that of Harun (i.e., Aaron) to Moses, but there will be no prophet after me,' and I heard him saying, 'Tomorrow I will give the flag to a man who loves Allah and His Messenger, and Allah and His Messenger love him.' And I heard him saying, 'Whomever I am his master (Mawla), then Ali is his master (Mawla).'

أَخْبَرَنَا حَرَمِيُّ بْنُ يُونُسَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو غَسَّانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ السَّلَامِ عَنْ مُوسَى الصَّغِيرِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ سَابِطٍ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ قَالَ كُنْتُ جَالِسًا فَتَنَقَصُّوا عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ فَقَالَ لَقَدْ

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لَهُ خِصَالٌ ثَلَاثَةٌ لَأَنْ تَكُونَ لِي وَاحِدَةٌ مِنْهُنَّ أَحَبَّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ حُمْرِ النَّعَمِ سَمِعَتْهُ يَقُولُ «إِنَّهُ مِنِّي بِمَنْزِلَةِ هَارُونَ مِنْ مُوسَى إِلَّا أَنَّهُ لَا نَبِيَّ بَعْدِي» وَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ «لَأُعْطِيَنَّ الرَّايَةَ غَدًا رَجُلًا يُحِبُّ اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ وَيُحِبُّهُ اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ» وَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ «مَنْ كُنْتُ مَوْلَاهُ فَعَلِيٌّ مَوْلَاهُ»
