Description:
We read in Musnad Ahmad b. Hanbal. Vol. 1, pg. 545, Hadith # 883:
Aswad b. ‘Āmir narrated to us, saying: Sharīk narrated from al-A‘mash, from al-Minhāl, from ‘Abbād b. ‘Abdullah al-Asadī, from Ali who said:
When this verse was revealed: {And warn your closest kindred} [Al-Shu‘arā’: 214], the Prophet (peace be upon him) gathered his family. Thirty gathered, ate, and drank. He said to them: "Who will take on my debts and promises and be with me in Paradise, and be my successor among my family?" A man - Sharik did not name him - said, "O Messenger of Allah, you were an ocean; who can take this on?" Then he asked another. He then presented this to his family, and Ali said, "I will."
In some tradition, the following variant can be read:
لا يقضي عني ديني إلا أنا أو علي
“No one legislates my religious duties except me or Ali (AS).”
