Hadith 4459

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَزْهَرُ ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ عَوْنٍ ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، عَنْ الْأَسْوَدِ ، قَالَ : ذُكِرَ عِنْدَ عَائِشَةَ : " أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَوْصَى إِلَى عَلِيٍّ ، فَقَالَتْ : مَنْ قَالَهُ ؟ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَإِنِّي لَمُسْنِدَتُهُ إِلَى صَدْرِي ، فَدَعَا بِالطَّسْتِ فَانْخَنَثَ فَمَاتَ ، فَمَا شَعَرْتُ ، فَكَيْفَ أَوْصَى إِلَى عَلِيٍّ ؟ " .
Narrated Al-Aswad: It was mentioned in the presence of `Aisha that the Prophet had appointed `Ali as successor by will. Thereupon she said, "Who said so? I saw the Prophet, while I was supporting him against my chest. He asked for a tray, and then fell on one side and expired, and I did not feel it. So how (do the people say) he appointed `Ali as his successor?"
