2. We were told by Ahmad bin Muhammed bin al-Sinani, may Allah be pleased with him, that he said: We were told by Hamza bin Qasim al-Alawi al-Abbasi, that he said: We were told by Ja’far bin Muhammed bin Malik al-Fazari, that he said: We were told by Muhammed bin Hussain bin Zaid, the Oilman, that he said: We were told by Muhammed bin Sinan, that he said: We were told by Ziyad bin Mundhir, from Sa’eed bin Jubayr, from Aisha, that she said: The Messenger of Allah, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, said
Ali is the Master of the Arabs. So I said: O Allah’s Messenger, are you not the Master of the Arabs? He said: I am the Master of the sons of Adam, and Ali is the Master of the Arabs. I said: And what is a Master? He said: The one to whom obedience is made obligatory, like how obedience to me is made obligatory.
حدثنا أحمد بن محمد [بن] السناني - رضي الله عنه - قال: حدثنا حمزة بن القاسم العلوي العباسي، قال: حدثنا جعفر بن محمد بن مالك الفزاري، قال: حدثنا محمد بن الحسين بن [ي‍] زيد الزيات، قال: حدثنا محمد بن سنان، قال: حدثنا زياد بن المنذر، عن سعيد بن جبير، عن عائشة قالت
قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله: علي سيد العرب فقلت: يا رسول الله ألست سيد العرب؟ قال: أنا سيد ولد آدم وعلي سيد العرب. قلت: وما السيد؟ قال: من افترضت طاعته كما افترضت طاعتي.
