The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:
«O Ali! If I had not feared that a group of my nation would adopt the same belief about you as the Christians do about Jesus the son of Mary, I would have said about you today that whenever you passed by a gathering or gathering, people would pick up the dust from under your feet as a sign of blessing and healing.
