6266. Narrated 'Abdullāh bin 'Abbās رضي الله عنهم: 'Alī bin Abī Tālīb came out of the house of the Prophet ﷺ during his fatal illness. The people asked, "O Abū Ḥasan (i.e., 'Alī)! How is the health of Allāh's Messenger this morning?" 'Alī replied, "He has recovered with the Grace of Allāh." Al-'Abbās held 'Alī by the hand and said, "Don't you see him (he is about to die)? By Allāh, within three days you will be the slave of the stick (i.e., under the command of another ruler). By Allāh, I feel that Allāh's Messenger ﷺ will die from his present ailment, for I know how the faces of the offspring of 'Abdul-Muṭṭalib look at the time of their death. So let us go to Allāh's Messenger ﷺ to ask him who will take over the caliphate. If the authority is given to us, we will know it, and if it is given to somebody else we will request him so that he may tell the new ruler to take care of us." 'Alī said, "By Allāh! If we ask Allāh's Messenger ﷺ for it (i.e., the caliphate) and he refuses, then the people will never give it to us. Besides, I will never ask Allāh's Messenger ﷺ for it." [See Vol. 5, Hadith No. 4447]

6266 - حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ، أَخْبَرَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ شُعَيْبٍ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ كَعْبٍ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَبَّاسٍ، أَخْبَرَهُ: أَنَّ عَلِيًّا يَعْنِي ابْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ خَرَجَ مِنْ عِنْدِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَنْبَسَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَبَّاسٍ، أَخْبَرَهُ: أَنَّ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، خَرَجَ مِنْ عِنْدِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي وَجَعِهِ الَّذِي تُوُفِّيَ فِيهِ، فَقَالَ النَّاسُ: يَا أَبَا حَسَنٍ، كَيْفَ أَصْبَحَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ؟ قَالَ: «أَصْبَحَ بِحَمْدِ اللَّهِ بَارِئًا» فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِهِ العَبَّاسُ فَقَالَ: أَلاَ تَرَاهُ، أَنْتَ وَاللَّهِ بَعْدَ الثَّلاَثِ عَبْدُ العَصَا، وَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لَأُرَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَيُتَوَفَّى فِي وَجَعِهِ، وَإِنِّي لَأَعْرِفُ فِي وُجُوهِ بَنِي عَبْدِ المُطَّلِبِ المَوْتَ، فَاذْهَبْ بِنَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَنَسْأَلَهُ: فِيمَنْ يَكُونُ الأَمْرُ، فَإِنْ كَانَ فِينَا عَلِمْنَا ذَلِكَ، وَإِنْ كَانَ فِي غَيْرِنَا أَمَرْنَاهُ فَأَوْصَى بِنَا، قَالَ عَلِيٌّ: «وَاللَّهِ لَئِنْ سَأَلْنَاهَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَيَمْنَعُنَا لاَ يُعْطِينَاهَا النَّاسُ أَبَدًا، وَإِنِّي لاَ أَسْأَلُهَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَبَدًا»
