Sunan Ibn Majah 1626 (Book 6, Hadith 194) #30978
Appointment of Ali and Aishah's Disbelief

SUMMARY: The hadith is about Aishah's disbelief when she heard that Ali was appointed by the Prophet ﷺ before he died.

It was narrated that Aswad said: "They said in 'Aishah’s presence that 'Ali was appointed (by the Prophet before he died), and she said: 'When was he appointed? He (the Prophet ) was resting against my bosom, or in my lap, and he called for a basin, then he became limp in my lap and died, and I did not realize it. So when did he appoint him?’"
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَوْنٍ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنِ الأَسْوَدِ، قَالَ: ذَكَرُوا عِنْدَ عَائِشَةَ أَنَّ عَلِيًّا كَانَ وَصِيًّا ‏.‏ فَقَالَتْ: مَتَى أَوْصَى إِلَيْهِ؟ فَلَقَدْ كُنْتُ مُسْنِدَتَهُ إِلَى صَدْرِي - أَوْ إِلَى حِجْرِي فَدَعَا بِطَسْتٍ فَلَقَدِ انْخَنَثَ فِي حِجْرِي فَمَاتَ وَمَا شَعَرْتُ بِهِ. فَمَتَى أَوْصَى ـ ـ؟

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the appointment of Ali by the Prophet before his death. It was narrated by Aswad that in Aisha's presence, people were saying that the Prophet appointed Ali before he died.

This hadith teaches us to be humble and accept what we hear even if we do not understand it at first. We should also have faith in Allah and His Messenger as He knows best what is right for us.
