[Machine] The Sons of Abdul-Muttalib gathered and said, "Why don't you ask the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to appoint among you someone like he appointed among the family of so-and-so, who would appoint for you the leadership?" They met with Ali and spoke to him. He said, "Indeed, Allah and His Messenger have forbidden that for you, to have the filth of people's hands or what is called the washing of people's hands." Abdul-Muttalib said to his father, "Send me." So Abbas, his son, was sent and we came to the Prophet ﷺ . We entered and each one of us was individually addressed by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ who said, "What do you request here?" I said, "O Messenger of Allah, your people and the sons of your uncle were sent so that you may appoint among them what you have appointed among the people, leadership." He said, "Indeed, Allah and His Messenger have forbidden you from eating filth or what is called the washing of people's hands."
