Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ عُبَيْدَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ بَعَثَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي سَرِيَّةٍ قَالَ لَمَّا قَدِمْنَا قَالَ كَيْفَ رَأَيْتُمْ صَحَابَةَ صَاحِبِكُم
ْ قَالَ فَإِمَّا شَكَوْتُهُ أَوْ شَكَاهُ غَيْرِي قَالَ فَرَفَعْتُ رَأْسِي وَكُنْتُ رَجُلًا مِكْبَابًا قَالَ فَإِذَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَدْ احْمَرَّ وَجْهُهُ قَالَ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ مَنْ كُنْتُ وَلِيَّهُ فَعَلِيٌّ وَلِيُّهُ

English Translation
It was narrated from Buraidah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent them on a military expedition. When they returned, he said: 'How did you find the companionship of your commander?' Buraidah said: 'Either I complained about him, or someone else complained.' He said: 'I raised my head — and I was a man who used to look down — and there was the Prophet ﷺ with his face reddened, saying: "Whoever has me as his guardian, 'Ali is his guardian."'
