883 - حَدَّثَنَا أَسْوَدُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنِ الْمِنْهَالِ، عَنْ عَبَّادِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْأَسَدِيِّ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ: لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الآيَةُ: {وَأَنْذِرْ عَشِيرَتَكَ الْأَقْرَبِينَ} [الشعراء: 214]، قَالَ: جَمَعَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ، فَاجْتَمَعَ ثَلاثُونَ، فَأَكَلُوا وَشَرِبُوا، قَالَ: فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: " مَنْ يَضْمَنُ عَنِّي دَيْنِي وَمَوَاعِيدِي، وَيَكُونُ مَعِي فِي الْجَنَّةِ، وَيَكُونُ ‌خَلِيفَتِي ‌فِي ‌أَهْلِي؟ " فَقَالَ: رَجُلٌ - لَمْ يُسَمِّهِ شَرِيكٌ - يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَنْتَ كُنْتَ بَحْرًا، مَنْ يَقُومُ بِهَذَا؟! قَالَ: ثُمَّ قَالَ لِآَخَرٍ، قَالَ: فَعَرَضَ ذَلِكَ عَلَى أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ، فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ: أَنَا

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).”
