The Messenger of Allah ﷺ gathered - or the Messenger of Allah ﷺ called - Banu ‘Abdul-Muttalib, among whom were some people all of whom liked to eat lamb and drink large amounts of water. He made a mudd of food for them, and they ate until they were full. And the food remained as it was, as if it had not been touched. Then he called for a vessel, and they drank until their thirst was quenched, and the drink remained as it was, as if it had not been drunk from. Then he said: ʿO Banu ʿAbdul-Muttalib, I have been sent to you in particular and to all the people in general. You have seen this sign. Which of you will swear allegiance to me, pledging to be my brother and companion?” Not one of them stood up for him, but I [‘Ali] stood up, and I was the youngest of the people. He said: ʿSit down.” He said that three times, and each time I stood up for him and he said to me, ʿSit down.ʿ Then the third time he put his hand on mine. (Using translation from Aḥmad 1371)   

الكبرى للنسائي:٨٣٩٧أَخْبَرَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ سَهْلٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عَفَّانُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ عَنْ أَبِي صَادِقٍ عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ نَاجِدٍ أَنَّ رَجُلًا قَالَ لِعَلِيٍّ «§يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ لِمَ وَرِثْتَ ابْنَ عَمِّكَ دُونَ عَمِّكَ؟» قَالَ

جَمَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَوْ قَالَ دَعَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بَنِي عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ فَصَنَعَ لَهُمْ مُدًّا مِنْ طَعَامٍ قَالَ «فَأَكَلُوا حَتَّى شَبِعُوا وَبَقِيَ الطَّعَامُ كَمَا هُوَ كَأَنَّهُ لَمْ يُمَسَّ ثُمَّ دَعَا بِغُمَرٍ فَشَرِبُوا حَتَّى رَوَوْا وَبَقِيَ الشَّرَابُ كَأَنَّهُ لَمْ يُمَسَّ أَوْ لَمْ يُشْرَبْ» فَقَالَ يَا بَنِي عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ «إِنِّي بُعِثْتُ إِلَيْكُمْ بِخَاصَّةٍ وَإِلَى النَّاسِ بِعَامَّةٍ وَقَدْ رَأَيْتُمْ مِنْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ مَا قَدْ رَأَيْتُمْ فَأَيُّكُمْ يُبَايِعُنِي عَلَى أَنْ يَكُونَ أَخِي وَصَاحِبِي وَوَارِثِي؟» فَلَمْ يَقُمْ إِلَيْهِ أَحَدٌ فَقُمْتُ إِلَيْهِ وَكُنْتُ أَصْغَرَ الْقَوْمِ فَقَالَ «اجْلِسْ» ثُمَّ قَالَ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ كُلُّ ذَلِكَ أَقُومُ إِلَيْهِ فَيَقُولُ «اجْلِسْ» حَتَّى كَانَ فِي الثَّالِثَةِ ضَرَبَ بِيَدِهِ عَلَى يَدِي ثُمَّ قَالَ فَبِذَلِكَ وَرِثْتُ ابْنَ عَمِّي دُونَ عَمِّيَ

"عن علِىٍّ أنه قيل له: كيفَ وَرِثْتَ ابنَ عَمِّكَ دُونَ عَمِّكَ؟ فقالَ: جَمَعَ رسولُ الله ﷺ بَنى عبدِ المُطلِبِ وَهُمْ رَهْط كُلُّهُمْ يَأكُلُ الْجَذَعَةَ وَيَشْربُ الْفَرَقَ، فَصَنَعَ لَهُمْ مُدا مِنْ طعَامٍ فأَكَلُوا حَتَّى شَبِعُوا وَبَقِى الطَّعَامُ كَمَا هُوَ كَأنَّهُ لَمْ يُمَسَّ أَوْ لَمْ

يُشْرَبْ، فقالَ: يَا بَنِى عَبْد المطَّلبِ! إِنِّى بُعِثْتُ إِلَيْكُمْ خَاصَة وَإِلَى النَّاسِ عَامَّةً، وَقَدْ رَأَيْتُمْ مِنْ هَذهِ الآيَةِ مَا رَأيْتُمْ، فَأَيَكُمْ يُبَايِعُنِى عَلَى أَنْ يَكُونَ أَخِى وَصَاحِبِى وَوَارِثِى، فَلَم يَقُمْ إِلَيْهِ أحَدٌ، فَقُمْتُ إِلَيْهِ وَكُنْتُ مِنْ أصْغَرِ الْقَوْمِ، فَقَالَ: اجْلِسْ، ثُمَّ قَالَ ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ، كُلُّ ذَلِكَ أَقُومُ إِلَيْهِ ليَقُولُ لِى: اجْلِسْ، حَتَّى كَانَ فِى الثَالِثَةِ ضَرَبَ بِيَدِهِ عَلَى يَدِى، قَالَ: فَلِذَلِكَ وَرِثْتُ ابْنَ عَمِّى دُونَ عَمِّى".
