A story attributed to 'Ali (may Allah be pleased with him)
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The first question of Fatwa number ( 7666 ):
Q1: I have heard from some of the common people a story they talk about, which I have not read in a book or heard from a scholar. It is that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent 'Ali ibn Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) to a certain place, and 'Ali saw strange things on his way, including a woman whom he tried to catch up with but could not, a fat camel in a barren land, and a thin camel in a lush land, along with many other things. When he returned, he asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) about them. He said: "The thin camel is the miser, the fat camel is the generous one, and the woman is this world." I hope you will inform me whether this is a hadith or a story?
A1: We know nothing about this story you mentioned, and the most likely possibility is that it is fabricated. And success is from Allah. May Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
