\nNarrated Al-Aswad:\n \n\nIt was mentioned in the presence of `Aisha that the Prophet (ﷺ) had appointed `Ali as successor by will. \nThereupon she said, "Who said so? I saw the Prophet, while I was supporting him against my chest. \nHe asked for a tray, and then fell on one side and expired, and I did not feel it. So how (do the people \nsay) he appointed `Ali as his successor?"\n

\nحَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَزْهَرُ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ عَوْنٍ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنِ الأَسْوَدِ، قَالَ ذُكِرَ عِنْدَ عَائِشَةَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَوْصَى إِلَى عَلِيٍّ، فَقَالَتْ مَنْ قَالَهُ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَإِنِّي لَمُسْنِدَتُهُ إِلَى صَدْرِي، فَدَعَا بِالطَّسْتِ فَانْخَنَثَ فَمَاتَ، فَمَا شَعَرْتُ، فَكَيْفَ أَوْصَى إِلَى عَلِيٍّ
