Musnad Ahmad 644 (Book 5, Hadith 80) #34306
Reaching New Heights with Faith

SUMMARY: The Prophet (PBUH) and Ali (RA) went to the Ka'bah, where the Prophet (PBUH) allowed Ali (RA) to climb onto his shoulders and reach the top of the House. There, Ali (RA) shook a statue until it broke, after which they ran away so that no one would see them.

It was narrated that 'Ali (رضي الله عنه) said. The Prophet ﷺ and I set out and came to the Ka'bah. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me "Sit down," and he climbed onto my shoulders. I went to stand up with him, but he saw that I was weak. So he got down and the Prophet of Allah ﷺ sat down for me and said: 'Climb onto my shoulders". So I climbed on to his shoulders and he stood up with me. I felt that if I had wanted to, I could have reached the edge of the sky. I climbed up onto the top of the House, where there was a statue of brass or copper. I started shaking it right and left, forwards and backwards until, when I had managed to loosen it, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me: "Throw it down". I threw it down and it broke like a glass bottle, Then I came down and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and I ran and hid among the houses lest any of the people see us.
حَدَّثَنَا أَسْبَاطُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا نُعَيْمُ بْنُ حَكِيمٍ الْمَدَائِنِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ انْطَلَقْتُ أَنَا وَالنَّبِيُّ، ﷺ حَتَّى أَتَيْنَا الْكَعْبَةَ فَقَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ اجْلِسْ وَصَعِدَ عَلَى مَنْكِبَيَّ فَذَهَبْتُ لِأَنْهَضَ بِهِ فَرَأَى مِنِّي ضَعْفًا فَنَزَلَ وَجَلَسَ لِي نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَقَالَ اصْعَدْ عَلَى مَنْكِبَيَّ قَالَ فَصَعِدْتُ عَلَى مَنْكِبَيْهِ قَالَ فَنَهَضَ بِي قَالَ فَإِنَّهُ يُخَيَّلُ إِلَيَّ أَنِّي لَوْ شِئْتُ لَنِلْتُ أُفُقَ السَّمَاءِ حَتَّى صَعِدْتُ عَلَى الْبَيْتِ وَعَلَيْهِ تِمْثَالُ صُفْرٍ أَوْ نُحَاسٍ فَجَعَلْتُ أُزَاوِلُهُ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَعَنْ شِمَالِهِ وَبَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَمِنْ خَلْفِهِ حَتَّى إِذَا اسْتَمْكَنْتُ مِنْهُ قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ اقْذِفْ بِهِ فَقَذَفْتُ بِهِ فَتَكَسَّرَ كَمَا تَتَكَسَّرُ الْقَوَارِيرُ ثُمَّ نَزَلْتُ فَانْطَلَقْتُ أَنَا وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ نَسْتَبِقُ حَتَّى تَوَارَيْنَا بِالْبُيُوتِ خَشْيَةَ أَنْ يَلْقَانَا أَحَدٌ مِنْ النَّاسِ‏.‏

This hadith is about how faith can help us reach new heights in life. It tells us that when we have faith in Allah SWT and His Messenger PBUH, we can do things that may seem impossible at first glance. In this case, it was climbing up to the top of the Ka’bah with only a few steps on his own shoulders! After reaching this height, he then proceeded to shake a statue until it broke into pieces - something else that could not have been done without faith in Allah SWT and His Messenger PBUH. Finally, they ran away so as not to be seen by anyone else - showing us how important it is for believers to remain humble even when doing great deeds for Allah SWT's sake.
