[Machine] "And the one whom I swear by, if there was anyone closest to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, it was Ali. She said, "We would always see the Messenger of Allah ﷺ coming day after day saying, 'Has Ali arrived?' repeatedly. She said, 'And I suspected that he had sent for him because he needed something.' She said, 'Then he would come after a while, and I would think that there was something he needed from him.' She said, 'So we left the house and sat by the door, and I was closest to the door, then Ali came and he would talk to him and have a private conversation with him.' Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed away on that day, and he was the closest of people to him in his lifetime."
وَالَّذِي أَحْلِفُ بِهِ إِنْ كَانَ عَلِيٌّ لَأَقْرَبَ النَّاسِ عَهْدًا بِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَتْ عُدْنَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ غَدَاةً بَعْدَ غَدَاةٍ يَقُولُ جَاءَ عَلِيٌّ؟ مِرَارًا قَالَتْ وَأَظُنُّهُ كَانَ بَعَثَهُ فِي حَاجَةٍ قَالَتْ فَجَاءَ بَعْدُ فَظَنَنْتُ أَنَّ لَهُ إِلَيْهِ حَاجَةً فَخَرَجْنَا مِنَ الْبَيْتِ فَقَعَدْنَا عِنْدَ الْبَابِ فَكُنْتُ مِنْ أَدْنَاهُمْ إِلَى الْبَابِ فَأَكَبَّ عَلَيْهِ عَلِيٌّ فَجَعَلَ يُسَارُّهُ وَيُنَاجِيهِ ثُمَّ قُبِضَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْ يَوْمِهِ ذَلِكَ فَكَانَ أَقْرَبَ النَّاسِ بِهِ عَهْدًا
