حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ عَنْ شَرِيكٍ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ هُبَيْرَةَ خَطَبَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَقَالَ لَقَدْ فَارَقَكُمْ رَجُلٌ بِالْأَمْسِ لَمْ يَسْبِقْهُ الْأَوَّلُونَ بِعِلْمٍ وَلَا يُدْرِكُهُ الْآخِرُونَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَبْعَثُهُ بِالرَّايَةِ جِبْرِيلُ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَمِيكَائِيلُ عَنْ شِمَالِهِ لَا يَنْصَرِفُ حَتَّى يُفْتَحَ لَهُ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 1719
It was narrated from Hubairah: al-Hasan bin 'Ali (RA)addressed us and said: A man [i.e., 'Ali] left you yesterday whom none of the early ones surpassed in knowledge and none of the later ones will ever catch up with him. The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) would send him with the banner, Jibreel on his right side and Mika' eel on his left, and he would not give up until victory was granted to him.
