Arabic hadith text
أَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عَيَّاشٍ، عَنْ مُغِيرَةَ، عَنِ الْحَارِثِ الْعُكْلِيِّ، عَنِ ابْنِ نُجَىٍّ، قَالَ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ كَانَ لِي مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم مَدْخَلاَنِ مَدْخَلٌ بِاللَّيْلِ وَمَدْخَلٌ بِالنَّهَارِ فَكُنْتُ إِذَا دَخَلْتُ بِاللَّيْلِ تَنَحْنَحَ لِي .
Translation
Muhammad ibn ‘Ubayd informed me; he said: Ibn ‘Ayyash reported to us, from Mughirah, from al-Harith al-‘Ukli, from Ibn Naji, who said: ‘Ali said: I had two times to visit the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), one at night and one during the day. Whenever I entered at night, he would clear his throat for me.
