Sunan an-Nasai 33 (Book 1, Hadith 33) #14639
Death of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and Appointment of Khalifah

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the death of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and how he could not have left a will appointing Ali as Khalifah.

It was narrated that 'Aishah said: "They say that the Prophet made a will for 'Ali,1 but he called for a basin in which to urinate, then he went flaccid suddenly (and died), so how could he leave a will?!" The Shaikh said: Azhar (one of the narrators) is Ibn Sa'd As-Samman. 1 Meaning, appointing him as the Khalifah.
أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا أَزْهَرُ، أَنْبَأَنَا ابْنُ عَوْنٍ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنِ الأَسْوَدِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ يَقُولُونَ إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ أَوْصَى إِلَى عَلِيٍّ لَقَدْ دَعَا بِالطَّسْتِ لِيَبُولَ فِيهَا فَانْخَنَثَتْ نَفْسُهُ وَمَا أَشْعُرُ فَإِلَى مَنْ أَوْصَى قَالَ الشَّيْخُ أَزْهَرُ هُوَ ابْنُ سَعْدٍ السَّمَّانُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the death of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. It was narrated by 'Aishah that people were saying that the Prophet ﷺ made a will for 'Ali before his death but then he called for a basin in which to urinate and suddenly passed away. Therefore, it was impossible for him to leave a will appointing Ali as his successor or Khalifa. This hadith teaches us that we should never doubt the actions or words of our beloved prophet ﷺ because they are all true and wise decisions taken by him in order to benefit us in this life and hereafter. We should also remember that no one can take his place as our leader or guide after his passing away from this world; only Allah knows best who should be appointed as our leader after him.
