Musnad Ahmad ibn Hanbal: Book 5, Hadith 38

It was narrated from Moosa bin Salim Abu Jahdam that Abu Ja`far told him, from his father, that ‘Ali (رضي الله عنه) told them that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) forbade three things to me, and I (the narrator) do not know whether that was only for him or for everyone: My father told me, from his father, that ‘Ali (رضي الله عنه) said: I was with the Prophet (ﷺ) when Abu Bakr and `Umar (رضي الله عنهما) came and he said: `O `Ali, these two are the leaders of the middle aged people of Paradise and its youth, after the Prophet (ﷺ) and Messengers.”

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْد اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنِي حَجَّاجُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ الشَّاعِرُ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَمَّادٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ، عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ سَالِمٍ أَبِي جَهْضَمٍ، أَنَّ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ عَلِيًّا، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ حَدَّثَهُمْ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَهَانِي عَنْ ثَلَاثَةٍ قَالَ فَمَا أَدْرِي لَهُ خَاصَّةً أَمْ لِلنَّاسِ عَامَّةً نَهَانِي عَنْ الْقَسِّيِّ وَالْمِيثَرَةِ وَأَنْ أَقْرَأَ وَأَنَا رَاكِعٌ‏.‏

Musnad Ahmad ibn Hanbal: Book 5, Hadith 38

 
The above hadith is from the Musnad Ahmad ibn Hanbal collection of hadiths. Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal’s Musnad represents one of the largest and most significant early collections of prophetic traditions. This massive compilation is uniquely arranged by the names of the companions (Sahabah), devoting individual chapters to each one to consolidate all the narrations they are known to have transmitted. This approach offers profound insights into the teachings and actions of the Prophet Muhammad from the perspective of those who knew him best. The collection is universally esteemed for its authenticity and historical value, serving as a critical resource for scholars. However, because it aims for breadth, it encompasses a wide range of narrations, including some that experts have identified as having less reliable chains of narration alongside its many strong ones.
