[Machine] A man from Khuzay'ah came and met Ali, who asked, "What brings you here?" The man replied, "I came to ask the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to whom should we give charity from our wealth after Allah takes you?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "To Abu Bakr." Then the man asked, "And when Allah takes Abu Bakr, to whom?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "To Umar." The man asked further, "And when Allah takes Umar, to whom?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "To Uthman." Finally, the man asked, "And if Allah takes Uthman, to whom?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "Look after yourselves."
