[Machine] "And I swear by the One whom I have taken an oath of allegiance to, if Ali were to make a covenant with the people, he would be the closest to the Prophet ﷺ. We returned to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the morning, and he was saying, 'Has Ali come? Has Ali come?' repeatedly. Fatimah said, 'It is as if you have sent him on an errand.' She then said, 'He came afterwards.' Abi Salamah said, 'I thought he had some urgent need for him.' So we left the house and sat by the door, and I was closest to the door. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came and poured his left hand on him and spoke to him privately. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed away that day. So Ali was the closest to the people in commitment."

وَالَّذِي أَحْلِفُ بِهِ إِنْ كَانَ عَلِيٌّ لَأَقْرَبَ النَّاسِ عَهْدًا بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ عُدْنَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ غَدَاةً وَهُوَ يَقُولُ «جَاءَ عَلِيٌّ؟ جَاءَ عَلِيٌّ؟» مِرَارًا فَقَالَتْ فَاطِمَةُ كَأَنَّكَ بَعَثْتَهُ فِي حَاجَةٍ قَالَتْ فَجَاءَ بَعْدُ قَالَتْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ فَظَنَنْتُ أَنَّ لَهُ إِلَيْهِ حَاجَةً فَخَرَجْنَا مِنَ الْبَيْتِ فَقَعَدْنَا عِنْدَ الْبَابِ وَكُنْتُ مِنْ أَدْنَاهُمْ إِلَى الْبَابِ فَأَكَبَّ عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَجَعَلَ يُسَارُّهُ وَيُنَاجِيهِ ثُمَّ قُبِضَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنْ يَوْمِهِ ذَلِكَ فَكَانَ عَلِيٌّ أَقْرَبَ النَّاسِ عَهْدًا

[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."

"عن أم سلمة قالت: والذي أحلف بالله أن كان على لأقرب الناس عهدًا برسول الله ﷺ قالت عدنا رسول الله ﷺ يوم قبض في بيت عائشة، فجعل رسول الله ﷺ غداة بعد غداة يقول: جاء على مرارًا وأظنه كان بعثه في حاجة فجاء بعد فظننا أنه له إليه حاجة، فخرجنا من البيت، فقعدنا بالباب فكنت من أدناهم من الباب فأكب عليه علي فجعل يساره ويناجيه، ثم قبض من يومه ذلك، فكان أقرب الناس به عهدًا".
