In Praise of Imam Ali – From Qur'an and Hadeeth(5)
(Collected from a number of books and websites, presented by Syed-Mohsin Naquvi)
حدیثِ مواخّات
A very significant event in the early period of Islam is that of making brothers among the Muslims. This is reported to have happened twice, once in Makkah and again in Madinah.
Here are those reports with their respective references:
Mu'aakhat in Makka
(1) Qastalani writes in his Kitab Irshad as-Sari Sharhi Saheeh Bukhari(Chapter of "The Prophet Making Brothers Among the Sahaba): The Prophet chose pairs of the Muhajireen (emigrants) and made brothers of them. So, cUmar and Abu Bakr were made brothers of each other; so were Hamza with Zayd bin Haritha, cUthman with cAbd ar-Rahman bin cAwf, Zubayr bin al-cAwwam with Ibn Mascood, cUbayda bin Harith with Bilal, Mascab bin cUmayr with Scad bin Abi Waqas, Abu cUbayda with Salim slave of Huzayfa, and Saceed bin Zayd with Talha bin cUbayd Allah, and finally he made Ali bin Abi Talib his own brother.

Mu'aakhat in Madinah
(2) Abul Fida wites in his Tareekh (Vol.I p.127): The Prophet then made pairs of Ansar and Muhajiroon and made them brothers of each other (once again, in Madina). So, Ali was (once again) made his(the Prophet) own brother; Abu Bakr and Zayd bin Kharija Ansari, Abu cUbayda Jarrah and Scad bin Macaz Ansari, cUmar bin Khattab and cUtban bin Malik Ansari, Abd ar-Rahman bin cAwf and Scad bin Rabci Ansari, cUthman bin cAffaaan and Aws bin Thabit Ansari, Talha bin cUbayd Allah and Kcab bin Malik Ansari, Saceed bin Zayd and Ubaiyy bin Kcab Ansari were made brothers of each other.
(3) Allama Samhudi writes in his Kitab Khulasat-al Wafa(Vol.I p.105): The Prophet created the relationship of brothers between the Ansar and the Muhajiroon, and said – "Make pairs (one form Ansar and the other from the Mujhajiroon) and become brothers (for Allah's sake) of each other." He then held Ali by the hand and said: "This is my brother."
(4) It is recorded in the Isteecab of Ibn Abd al-Birr(Vol.II p.473): Very much like the Prophet had made brothers among the Muhajiroon in Makkah, he held another session of making brothers between Ansar and Muhajiroon in Madinah. At both occasions the Prophet had declared Ali as his brother saying: "You are my brother in this world as well as in the hereafter."
This is yet another exclusive glory for Imam Ali, he was made brother of the Prophet twice, once in Makkah and again in Madinah. Not only that, the brotherhood of Imam Ali with the Prophet extends into hereafter.
