Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا الْقَاسِمُ بْنُ دِينَارٍ الْكُوفِيُّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ السَّلاَمِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ لِعَلِيٍّ ‏ "‏ أَنْتَ مِنِّي بِمَنْزِلَةِ هَارُونَ مِنْ مُوسَى إِلاَّ أَنَّهُ لاَ نَبِيَّ بَعْدِي ‏" ‏ ‏.‏هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ ‏.‏ وَقَدْ رُوِيَ مِنْ غَيْرِ وَجْهٍ عَنْ سَعْدٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَيُسْتَغْرَبُ هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ مِنْ حَدِيثِ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ الأَنْصَارِيِّ ‏.‏

Translation

Al-Qasim ibn Dinar al-Kufi narrated to us: Abu Nu‘aym narrated to us, from ‘Abd al-Salam ibn Harb, from Yahya ibn Sa‘id, from Sa‘id ibn al-Musayyib, from Sa‘d ibn Abi Waqqas, that the Prophet ﷺ said to ‘Ali: ‘You are to me as Harun was to Musa, except there is no prophet after me.’ This is a hasan sahih hadith. It has also been narrated through other routes from Sa‘d from the Prophet ﷺ, though this report is considered unusual through the narration of Yahya ibn Sa‘id al-Ansari.
