Some hadith from Sunni sources I came across:

The messenger of God said: "He who wants to see Noah in his determination, Adam in his knowledge, Abraham in his clemency, Moses in his intelligence and Jesus in his religious devotion should look at Ali Ibn Abi Talib. The Musnad of Ahmad ibn Hanbal

''The prophet of God said: "There is amongst you a person who will fight for the interpretation of the Quran just as I fought for its revelation." The people around him raised their heads and cast inquisitive glances at the Prophet and at one another. Abu Bakr and Umar were there. Abu Bakr inquired if he was that person and the Prophet replied in the negative. Then Umar inquired if he was that person and the Prophet, replied "No. He is the one who is repairing my shoes (i.e., Ali).'' Musnad Ahmad ibn Hanbal v3, pp 32-33

The Messenger of God said to Ali: "Glad tiding O Ali! Verily you and your companions and your Shi'a (followers) will be in Paradise."
