The Three Deliverers
166 - ʿAbd Allāh narrated to us: ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Ṣāliḥ narrated to me: Ibn Abī Ghaniyya narrated to us, from Dāwūd ibn Abī al-Sawdāʾ, who said: Kaʿb said to ʿAlī, May God be pleased with him: "Shall I not inform you of three deliverers that Moses, peace be upon him, brought? Staying in your house, weeping over your sin, and withholding your tongue." He said: Then ʿAlī, May God be pleased with him, countered him, saying: "Shall I not inform you of three destructors? Breaking a pledge, abandoning the Sunna, and separating from the congregation." (1)
