Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أَنْبَأَنَا مَعْمَرٌ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ وَعَلِيِّ بْنِ زَيْدِ بْنِ جُدْعَانَ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ الْمُسَيَّبِ حَدَّثَنِي ابْنٌ لِسَعْدِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ حَدِيثًا عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ دَخَلْتُ عَلَى سَعْدٍ فَقُلْتُ حَدِيثًا حُدِّثْتُهُ عَنْكَ حِينَ اسْتَخْلَفَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلِيًّا عَلَى الْمَدِينَةِ قَالَ فَغَضِبَ فَقَالَ مَنْ حَدَّثَكَ بِهِ فَكَرِهْتُ أَنْ أُخْبِرَهُ أَنَّ ابْنَهُ حَدَّثَنِيهِ فَيَغْضَبَ عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حِينَ خَرَجَ فِي غَزْوَةِ تَبُوكَ اسْتَخْلَفَ عَلِيًّا عَلَى الْمَدِينَةِ فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا كُنْتُ أُحِبُّ أَنْ تَخْرُجَ وَجْهًا إِلَّا وَأَنَا مَعَكَ فَقَالَ أَوَمَا تَرْضَى أَنْ تَكُونَ مِنِّي بِمَنْزِلَةِ هَارُونَ مِنْ مُوسَى غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ لَا نَبِيَّ بَعْدِي.
English Translation
Sa'id ibn al-Musayyib went to Sa'd and asked him about the hadith regarding the Prophet (peace be upon him) leaving Ali in charge of Madinah. Sa'd became angry and said: 'Who told you this?' Sa'id did not want to tell him it was his own son. Then Sa'd said: 'The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) left Ali behind, and Ali said: Are you leaving me behind with women and children? He said: Are you not content to be to me what Harun was to Musa, except that there is no prophet after me?'
