عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ اَلْمُغِيرَةِ عَنْ أَبَانٍ لاَ أَعْلَمُهُ إِلاَّ ذَكَرَهُ عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ قَالَ: كَانَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ اَلْحُسَيْنِ عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ إِذَا رَأَى جَنَازَةً قَدْ أَقْبَلَتْ قَالَ« اَلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ اَلَّذِي لَمْ يَجْعَلْنِي مِنَ اَلسَّوَادِ اَلْمُخْتَرَمِ».
Ali ibn Ibrahim, from his father, from 'Abdullah ibn al-Mughirah, from Aban - I do not know except that he mentioned it from Abu Hamzah - said:
When (Imam) Ali ibn al-Husayn عليه السلام saw a funeral approaching, Imam عليه السلام would say: "All praise is due to Allah سبحانه وتعالى, who did not make me from the doomed masses."
