النص العربي

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ ، أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَبِيبُ بْنُ أَبِي ثَابِتٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي هَيَّاجٍ الْأَسَدِيِّ ، قَالَ : بَعَثَنِي عَلِيٌّ ، قَالَ لِي : "

أَبْعَثُكَ عَلَى مَا بَعَثَنِي عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ! أَنْ لَا أَدَعَ قَبْرًا مُشْرِفًا إِلَّا سَوَّيْتُهُ ، وَلَا تِمْثَالًا إِلَّا طَمَسْتُهُ
