4-33 Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Ishaq al-Dinvari al-Qazi narrated that Muhammad ibn Abdulhamid al-Furqany quoted Ahmad ibn Badil, on the authority of Mufaz’zal ibn Salih Al-Asady, on the authority of Samak ibn Harb, on the authority of Akrama, on the authority of Ibn Abbas
“The Commander of the Faithful Imam Ali (MGB) had four characteristics which no other Arab had. He was the first one who prayed with God’s Prophet (MGB). Ali (MGB) held the Prophet’s flag in every battle. And the people escaped on the day of the Battle of Uhud, while Ali (MGB) stayed with the Prophet (MGB). Ali (MGB) carried out the ablutions for the deceased for the Prophet (MGB) and placed him in the grave.”
