حَدَّثَنَا عَبْد اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الْمُقَدَّمِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الْقَاسِمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ قَالَ لِي النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَا عَلِيُّ أَسْبِغْ الْوُضُوءَ وَإِنْ شَقَّ عَلَيْكَ وَلَا تَأْكُلْ الصَّدَقَةَ وَلَا تُنْزِ الْحَمِيرَ عَلَى الْخَيْلِ وَلَا تُجَالِسْ أَصْحَابَ النُّجُومِ‏.‏
It was narrated that ‘Ali (رضي الله عنه) said:

The Prophet (ﷺ) said to me: “O ‘Ali, do wudoo’ properly even if it is difficult for you; do not consume charity; do not mate a donkey with a horse; and do not sit with astrologers.”
