Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا أَسْوَدُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ عَامِرٍ، أَنْبَأَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ هَانِئِ بْنِ هَانِئٍ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَجَعْفَرٌ وَزَيْدٌ قَالَ فَقَالَ لِزَيْدٍ أَنْتَ مَوْلَايَ فَحَجَلَ قَالَ وَقَالَ لِجَعْفَرٍ أَنْتَ أَشْبَهْتَ خَلْقِي وَخُلُقِي قَالَ فَحَجَلَ وَرَاءَ زَيْدٍ قَالَ وَقَالَ لِي أَنْتَ مِنِّي وَأَنَا مِنْكَ قَالَ فَحَجَلْتُ وَرَاءَ جَعْفَرٍ.
English Translation
It was narrated that Hadrat 'Ali (may Allah be well pleased with him) said: I came to the Noble Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him), along with Ja`far and Hadrat Zaid. He said to Hadrat Zaid: `You are my mawla,`and Hadrat Zaid hopped with joy. He said to Ja`far: `You resemble me in appearance and attitude.” And he hopped with joy behind Hadrat Zaid. And he said to me: `You are of me and I am of you.” And I hopped behind Ja`far.
