[Machine] Ali entered upon a man from the tribe of Banu Hashim while he was sick and wanted to make a will. Ali prohibited him and said, "Indeed, Allah, blessed and exalted, says, 'If you leave a good bequest...'" And he informed us that Abu Nasr ibn Qatadah narrated to us, from Abu Mansur al-Nadrawi, from Ahmad ibn Najdah, from Sa'id ibn Mansur, from Abu Mu'awiyah, from Hisham, who mentioned it with its meaning but did not specifically mention it being from Banu Hashim. Ali then told him, "Indeed, Allah, exalted be He, says, 'If you leave a good bequest... And you, indeed, leave something insignificant, so leave it for your family, for it is better."
