Abu al-Tufayl narrates: Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) had a dispute with Sayyiduna Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) about the siqayah (providing water to the pilgrims). Sayyiduna Talhah bin Ubaydullah, Sayyiduna Amir bin Makhramah bin Nawfal and Sayyiduna Azhar bin Abd Awf (may Allah be pleased with them) testified that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had handed this office to Sayyiduna Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) on the day of the Conquest of Makkah.
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat; its chain contains a narrator, al-Waqidi, about whom there is much criticism, though he has also been declared trustworthy.
