English Translation

Isma'il told us, from Ibn Awn, from Ibrahim, from al-Aswad, who said: It was mentioned before Aishah that Ali had been made a testamentary executor. She said, "When did he make a bequest to him? I had him leaning against my chest" — or she said, "in my lap" — "when he called for the basin, and he slumped in my lap, and I did not even realize that he had died — so when did he make a bequest to him?"
