حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ زُرَارَةَ، أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَوْنٍ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنِ الأَسْوَدِ، قَالَ ذَكَرُوا عِنْدَ عَائِشَةَ أَنَّ عَلِيًّا ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ كَانَ وَصِيًّا. فَقَالَتْ مَتَى أَوْصَى إِلَيْهِ وَقَدْ كُنْتُ مُسْنِدَتَهُ إِلَى صَدْرِي ـ أَوْ قَالَتْ حَجْرِي ـ فَدَعَا بِالطَّسْتِ، فَلَقَدِ انْخَنَثَ فِي حَجْرِي، فَمَا شَعَرْتُ أَنَّهُ قَدْ مَاتَ، فَمَتَى أَوْصَى إِلَيْهِ

English translation
Narrated Al-Aswad: In the presence of `Aisha some people mentioned that the Prophet (ﷺ) 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?
বাংলা অনুবাদ
আসওয়াদ (রহ.) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, সাহাবীগণ ‘আয়িশাহ (রাঃ)-এর নিকট আলোচনা করলেন যে, ‘আলী (রাঃ) নবী (সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম) এর ওয়াসী১ ছিলেন। ‘আয়িশাহ (রাঃ) বললেন, ‘তিনি কখন তাঁর প্রতি অসীয়াত করলেন? অথচ আমি তো আল্লাহর রাসূল (সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম)-কে আমার বুকে অথবা বলেছেন আমার কোলে হেলান দিয়ে রেখেছিলাম। তখন তিনি পানির তস্তুরি চাইলেন, অতঃপর আমার কোলে ঢলে পড়লেন। আমি বুঝতেই পারিনি যে, তিনি ইন্তিকাল করেছেন। অতএব তাঁর প্রতি কখন অসীয়াত করলেন?’ (৪৪৫৯) (মুসলিম ২৫/৫ হাঃ ১৬৩৬, আহমাদ ২৪০৯৪) (আধুনিক প্রকাশনীঃ ২৫৩৯, ইসলামিক ফাউন্ডেশনঃ)
