3726. Jābir said: “The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ called ‘Alī on the Day (of the battle) of Aṭ-Ṭā'if, and spoke privately with him, so the people said: ‘His private conversation with his cousin has grown lengthy.’ So the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: ‘I did not speak privately with him, rather, Allāh spoke privately with him.’” (Da'if) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Gharīb, we do not know of it except through the narration of Al-Ajlah, and others besides Ibn Fuḏail related it from Al-Ajlah [as well]. And the meaning of his statement: “Rather, Allāh spoke privately with him,” is that he is saying: “Indeed, Allāh ordered me to speak privately with him.”

٣٧٢٦ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْمُنْذِرِ الْكُوفِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلٍ ، عَنِ ‌الْأَجْلَحِ ، عَنْ ‌أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ ‌جَابِرٍ قَالَ: «دَعَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلِيًّا» يَوْمَ الطَّائِفِ فَانْتَجَاهُ، فَقَالَ النَّاسُ: لَقَدْ طَالَ نَجْوَاهُ مَعَ ابْنِ عَمِّهِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: مَا انْتَجَيْتُهُ، وَلَكِنَّ اللهَ انْتَجَاهُ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ لَا نَعْرِفُهُ إِلَّا مِنْ حَدِيثِ الْأَجْلَحِ. وَقَدْ رَوَاهُ غَيْرُ ابْنِ فُضَيْلٍ أَيْضًا عَنِ الْأَجْلَحِ. وَمَعْنَى قَوْلِهِ: وَلَكِنَّ اللهَ انْتَجَاهُ يَقُولُ: إِنَّ اللهَ أَمَرَنِي أَنْ أَنْتَجِيَ مَعَهُ.
