These narrations shows the special love for Imam Ali(as), the Holy Prophet(pbuh) prayed “O Allah send to me your most beloved person from your creation,” the Holy Prophet did not allow Abu Bakar and Umar, the holy Prophet allowed only Imam Ali. This is a true narration in Sunni sources Imam Tirmidhi also mentioned this narration.
In the second narration we will find that the Holy Prophet did not ask anything from Allah but same the thing was also asked for Imam Ali.

I got sick, the prophet visited me while I was lying down on the bed the prophet sat down beside me and covered me with his cloth when I feel comfortable then the Prophet left to mosque for prayer. After prayer the prophet came back and took away that cloth and said “Oh Ali stand up.” Then I stood up. I felt myself that I am healthy as I did not have any sickness. Then prophet said “Whenever I asked something Allah in the prayer, Allah granted me. I never asked anything from Allah but same thing I also asked for you.”
