By this isnad from Ibrahim b. Muhammad al-Thaqafi. He said: Al-Hakam b. Sulayman narrated to us. He said: `Ali b. Hashim narrated to us from `Amr b. Harith al-Ashja`i from Bardha`a b. `Abd al-Rahman from Abi'l Khalil from Salman (rh). He said

I visited the Messenger of Allah (s) when he was dying, and he said: `Ali b. Abi Talib is the best [person] I leave behind.

hadith 1158

78. A number of our people has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn Sayf from his father from ‘Amr ibn Harith who has said the following.

“I asked abu ‘Abdallah (a.s.) about the words of Allah. “. . a blessed tree which has firm roots and branches rising up into the sky.” (14:24) The Imam (a.s.) said that the The Holy Prophet (s.a) said, “The root is Amir al-Mu’minin Ali (a.s.) and the branches are the Imams from their (Amir al-Mu’minin (a.s.) and The Holy Prophet (s.a) descendants and the knowledge of Imams stand for the fruits. Their faithful followers represent the leaves of such tree.” The Imam (a.s.) asked, “Is there anything else in the tree?” I said, “No, there is nothing else there. The Imam (a.s.) then said, “By Allah, when a faithful is given a child a leave grows in the tree and when a faithful dies a leave falls off the tree.”

78ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ سَيْفٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ حُرَيْثٍ قَالَ

سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) عَنْ قَوْلِ الله كَشَجَرَةٍ طَيِّبَةٍ أَصْلُها ثابِتٌ وَفَرْعُها فِي السَّماءِ قَالَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ الله (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) أَصْلُهَا وَأَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) فَرْعُهَا وَالائِمَّةُ مِنْ ذُرِّيَّتِهِمَا أَغْصَانُهَا وَعِلْمُ الائِمَّةِ ثَمَرَتُهَا وَشِيعَتُهُمُ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ وَرَقُهَا هَلْ فِيهَا فَضْلٌ قَالَ قُلْتُ لا وَالله قَالَ وَالله إِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ لَيُولَدُ فَتُورَقُ وَرَقَةٌ فِيهَا وَإِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ لَيَمُوتُ فَتَسْقُطُ وَرَقَةٌ مِنْهَا.
