14730 - And from al-Na'man ibn Bashir who said: Abu Bakr sought permission to enter upon the Prophet (peace be upon him and his holy progeny), and he heard the voice of Aisha saying: "Surely, I know that Ali is dearer to you than my father, twice or thrice." He said: Then Abu Bakr sought permission again and entered, and he reached out to her and said: "O daughter of so-and-so, I do not want to hear you raising your voice over that of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny)." I say: Abu Dawood narrated it, but did not mention the love of Ali (peace be upon him). Al-Bazzar narrated it, and its narrators are the narrators of sahih (authentic).
