Sunan Ibn Majah 116 (Book) #37018
The Friendship of Ali

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) asked the believers if he was dearer to them than their own selves, and they answered in the affirmative. He then declared Ali as a friend of those whose master he is.

It was narrated that Bara' bin 'Azib said: "We returned with the Messenger of Allah from his Hajj that he had performed, and we stopped at some point on the road. He commanded that prayer should be performed in congregation, then he took the hand of 'Ali and said: 'Am I not dearer to the believers than their own selves?' They said: 'Yes indeed'. He said: 'Am I not dearer to every believer than his own self?' They said: 'Yes indeed'. He said: 'This man is the friend of those whose master I am'. O Allah, take as friends those who take him as a friend, and take as enemies those who take him as an enemy'."
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ، أَخَبَرَنِي حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ زَيْدِ بْنِ جُدْعَانَ، عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ، عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ، قَالَ أَقْبَلْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ ﷺ ـ فِي حَجَّتِهِ الَّتِي حَجَّ فَنَزَلَ فِي الطَّرِيقِ فَأَمَرَ الصَّلاَةَ جَامِعَةً فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِ عَلِيٍّ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ أَلَسْتُ أَوْلَى بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ مِنْ أَنْفُسِهِمْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالُوا بَلَى ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ أَلَسْتُ أَوْلَى بِكُلِّ مُؤْمِنٍ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالُوا بَلَى ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ فَهَذَا وَلِيُّ مَنْ أَنَا مَوْلاَهُ اللَّهُمَّ وَالِ مَنْ وَالاَهُ اللَّهُمَّ عَادِ مَنْ عَادَاهُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the importance of friendship and loyalty to one another. It was narrated by Bara' bin 'Azib that when the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) returned from his Hajj pilgrimage with his companions, they stopped at some point on the road and performed prayer in congregation. Then he took hold of Ali's hand and asked if he was not dearer to them than their own selves. They answered yes indeed. He then declared that Ali is a friend of those whose master he is - meaning that all believers should be loyal to him as well as each other just like how they are loyal to Allah and His Messenger.
