Hadith 97

(The book) ‘Al Ikhtisas’ – Abu Muhammad, from Sabbah Al Muzanny, from Al Haris Bin Haseyra, from Al Asbagh Bin Nubata who said, ‘We were with Amir Al-Momineen Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws in the Masjid on the day of Friday after Al-Asr (late afternoon), when a tall man came, as if he was a Bedouin.
