To what extent is the hadith narrated in "Al-Mu'jam Al-Awsat by Al-Tabarani" authentic concerning the Prophet (peace be upon him) sending Ali as an emir over Yemen and Khalid ibn al-Walid over the mountain, and what followed that, such as Ali taking a slave girl from the khums, Buraydah complaining to the Prophet (peace be upon him), and the Prophet (peace be upon him) responding angrily by saying: "What is wrong with people who disparage Ali? Whoever disparages Ali has disparaged me, and whoever separates from Ali has separated from me. Indeed, Ali is from me and I am from him; he was created from my clay, and I was created from the clay of Abraham, and I am better than Abraham. 'A progeny, some of them from others. And Allah is All-Hearer, All-Knower'," and his saying to Buraydah: "O Buraydah, do you not know that Ali has more than the slave girl he took? And that he is your guardian after me"?

This was narrated by Al-Tabarani in his Mu'jam al-Awsat. Sheikh Al-Albani described it as "very weak." Al-Haythami mentioned that it contains a group of narrators who are unknown, and there is Husayn al-Ashqar, whom the majority considered weak, while Ibn Hibban authenticated him. It was also said in Al-Mizan that there is some doubt concerning him, and Abu Zur'ah said: "His narrations are deniable (munkar al-Hadith)." Abu Hatim said: "He is not strong." Al-Jawzajani said: "He is an extremist who slanders the virtuous."
