"عَنْ عَلِىٍّ قالَ: أَمَرَنِى النَّبِي ﷺ أَنْ آتِيَهُ بِطَبَقٍ يَكْتُبُ عَلَيْه مَا لاَ تَضِلُّ أُمَّتُهُ بَعْدَهُ، فَخَشِيتُ أَنْ تَفُوتَنِى نَفْسُهُ قُلتُ: إِنِّى لأحْفَظُ وأَعِى. قَالَ: "أُوصِى بِالصَّلاَةِ وَالزَّكَاةِ وَمَا مَلَكَتْ أيْمَانُكُمْ".

The Prophet ﷺ wanted me to bring him something on which to write, by means of which his ummah would not be misguided after he was gone. “Ali said: I was afraid that he would die (before I could bring it). I said: I can memorise and understand. He said: “I urge you to pray and pay zakah and to be kind to those whom your right hands possess.”
أَمَرَنِي النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَنْ آتِيَهُ بِطَبَقٍ يَكْتُبُ فِيهِ مَا لَا تَضِلُّ أُمَّتُهُ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ قَالَ فَخَشِيتُ أَنْ تَفُوتَنِي نَفْسُهُ قَالَ قُلْتُ إِنِّي أَحْفَظُ وَأَعِي قَالَ أُوصِي بِالصَّلاةِ وَالزَّكَاةِ وَمَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُكُمْ
