It was mentioned in Ayesha's presence that Ali had been appointed as the executor of the Prophet's will. She said, "When did he make a will to him? I was holding him propped up against my chest," or she said, "in my lap. He called for a basin, then he slumped over in my lap, and I did not even realize he had died. So when did he ever make a will to him?"
