حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كَامِلٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ بْنُ زِيَادٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا صَدَقَةُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى النَّخَعِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنِي جَدِّي رِيَاحُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ كُنْتُ قَاعِدًا عِنْدَ فُلَانٍ فِي مَسْجِدِ الْكُوفَةِ وَعِنْدَهُ أَهْلُ الْكُوفَةِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَجَاءَ سَعِيدُ بْنُ زَيْدِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ نُفَيْلٍ فَرَحَّبَ بِهِ وَحَيَّاهُ وَأَقْعَدَهُ عِنْدَ رِجْلِهِ عَلَى السَّرِيرِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكُوفَةِ يُقَالُ لَهُ قَيْسُ بْنُ عَلْقَمَةَ فَاسْتَقْبَلَهُ فَسَبَّ وَسَبَّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ سَعِيدٌ:‏‏‏‏ مَنْ يَسُبُّ هَذَا الرَّجُلُ ؟ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ يَسُبُّ عَلِيًّا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَلَا أَرَى أَصْحَابَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُسَبُّونَ عِنْدَكَ ثُمَّ لَا تُنْكِرُ وَلَا تُغَيِّرُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَا سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَإِنِّي لَغَنِيٌّ أَنْ أَقُولَ عَلَيْهِ مَا لَمْ يَقُلْ فَيَسْأَلَنِي عَنْهُ غَدًا إِذَا لَقِيتُهُ:‏‏‏‏ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فِي الْجَنَّةِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَعُمَرُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَسَاقَ مَعْنَاهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ لَمَشْهَدُ رَجُلٍ مِنْهُمْ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَغْبَرُّ فِيهِ وَجْهُهُ خَيْرٌ مِنْ عَمَلِ أَحَدِكُمْ عُمُرَهُ وَلَوْ عُمِّرَ عُمُرَ نُوحٍ.

I was sitting with someone in the mosque of Kufah while the people of Kufah were with him. Then Saeed bin Zayd bin Amr bin Nufayl came and he welcomed him, greeted him, and seated him near his foot on the throne. Then a man of the inhabitants of Kufah, called Qays bin Alqamah, came. He received him and began to abuse him. Saeed asked: Whom is this man abusing? He replied: He is abusing Ali رضی اللہ عنہ . He said: Don't I see that the companions of the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم are being abused, but you neither stop it nor do anything about it? I heard the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم say--and I need not say for him anything which he did not say, and then he would ask me tomorrow when I see him --Abu Bakr رضی اللہ عنہ will go to Paradise and Umar will go to Paradise. He then mentioned the rest of the tradition to the same effect (as in No. 4632). He then said: The company of one of their man whose face has been covered with dust by the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم is better than the actions of one of you for a whole life time even if he is granted the life-span of Noah.
