456 - Muhammad ibn Abi Harun informed me that Ishaq related to them that his father said to Abu 'Abd Allah regarding reports that came regarding 'Ali concerning his virtues, so he said: "Upon what [basis] have they come? We do not speak of the Companions of Muhammad, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, except for good."
٤٥٦ - أَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي هَارُونَ، أَنَّ إِسْحَاقَ حَدَّثَهُمْ أَنَّ أَبَاهُ قَالَ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ فِي أَحَادِيثَ جَاءَتْ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ فِي الْفَضَائِلِ، فَقَالَ: عَلَامَ جَاءَتْ، لَا نَقُولُ فِي أَصْحَابِ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَّا خَيْرًا "
