أَزْهَرُ ، أَنْبَأَنَا
ابْنُ عَوْنٍ ، عَنْ
إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، عَنْ

عَائِشَةَ ، قالت : يَقُولُونَ : إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَوْصَى إِلَى عَلِيٍّ " لَقَدْ دَعَا بِالطَّسْتِ لِيَبُولَ فِيهَا فَانْخَنَثَتْ نَفْسُهُ " . وَمَا أَشْعُرُ فَإِلَى مَنْ أَوْصَى ، قَالَ الشَّيْخُ : أَزْهَرُ هُوَ ابْنُ سَعْدٍ السَّمَّانُ .
´It was narrated that 'Aishah said:` "They say that the Prophet (ﷺ) made a will for 'Ali,[1] but he called for a basin in which to urinate, then he went flaccid suddenly (and died), so how could he leave a will?!" The Shaikh said: Azhar (one of the narrators) is Ibn Sa'd As-Samman. [1] Meaning, appointing him as the Khalifah.
