Hadith 2741
حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ زُرَارَةَ ، أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ ، عَنْ ابْنِ عَوْنٍ ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، عَنْ الْأَسْوَدِ ، قَالَ : ذَكَرُوا عِنْدَ عَائِشَةَ أَنَّ عَلِيًّا رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا كَانَ وَصِيًّا ، فَقَالَتْ " مَتَى أَوْصَى إِلَيْهِ وَقَدْ كُنْتُ مُسْنِدَتَهُ إِلَى صَدْرِي ، أَوْ قَالَتْ : حَجْرِي ، فَدَعَا بِالطَّسْتِ ، فَلَقَدِ انْخَنَثَ فِي حَجْرِي فَمَا شَعَرْتُ أَنَّهُ قَدْ مَاتَ ، فَمَتَى أَوْصَى إِلَيْهِ " .
Narrated Al-Aswad: In the presence of `Aisha some people mentioned that the Prophet had appointed `Ali by will as his successor. `Aisha said, "When did he appoint him by will? Verily when he died he was resting against my chest (or said: in my lap) and he asked for a wash-basin and then collapsed while in that state, and I could not even perceive that he had died, so when did he appoint him by will?"
