(قلت: إسناده ضعيف، وقد ضعفه الحفاظ المحققون، كما قال النووي. وممن
ضعفه: الإمام أحمد والبخاري والشافعي، وقال: " أهل الحديث لا يثبتونه "،
قال البيهقي: " وإنما توقف الشافعي في ثبوته؛ لأن مداره على عبد الله بن
سلِمة الكوفي، وكان قد كبِر وأنكِر من حديثه وعقله بعضُ النكْرة؛ وإنما روى
هذا الحديث بعد ما كبر، قاله شعبة ")

229. 'Abdullāh bin Salamah said: "I visited 'Alī with two other people, one of them was from our
(tribe), and the other, I believe, was from (the tribe) of Banū Asad. 'Ali sent both of them in some direction (for an errand), and said: 'You two are strong people, so use your strength (for the good) of your religion.' He then stood up and went to relieve himself. When he returned, he called for some water, took a handful, and washed himself with it.[1] He then started reciting the Qur'an, but they (meaning, the people around him) disliked it. He said: 'The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ would exit from the area in which he relieved himself, and he would recite the Qur'an to us, and eat meat with us. And there was nothing that would prevent him, or come between him and the Qur'an, except (the state of) sexual impurity.'" (Hasan)
