Someone mentioned in the presence of Ayesha that Ali had been appointed as the Prophet's executor. She replied, "When did he ever make a will to him? I was holding him propped against my chest," or she said, "in my lap. He called for a basin, then slumped over in my lap, and I did not even realize he had died. So when did he make a will to him?"
ذكروا عند عائشة أن عليا كان وصيا. فقالت متى أوصى إليه؟ فقد كنت مسندته إلى صدري- أو قالت: حجري- فدعا بالطست فلقد انخنث في حجري، وما شعرت أنه مات فمتى أوصى إليه.
