[Machine] The sons of Abdul Mutallib gathered and said, "Why don't you ask the messenger of Allah ﷺ to appoint someone among you as he did with the sons of so-and-so and make you leaders?" So they met with Ali and spoke to him. He said, "Indeed, Allah ﷻ and His messenger have forbidden that for you, to have the impurities of people's hands or he said, the washing of people's hands. Abdul Mutallib said to his father, "Send me," so Abbas sent his son Al-Fadl, and we came to the Prophet ﷺ and entered. He singled out each of us and asked, "What brings you here?" So I said, "O messenger of Allah, your people and the sons of your uncle have been appointed with leadership, and we want the same for us." He said, "Indeed, Allah has forbidden that for you, and so has His messenger, for you to eat the impurities or he said, the washing of people's hands."

اجْتَمَعَ بَنُو عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ فَقَالُوا أَلَا تَسْأَلُوا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَجْعَلْ فِيكُمْ مَا جَعَلَ فِي بَنِي فُلَانٍ يَجْعَلْ فِيكُمُ السِّعَايَةَ؟ فَلَقُوا عَلِيًّا فَكَلَّمُوهُ فَقَالَ إِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ أَبَى ذَلِكَ لَكُمْ وَرَسُولُهُ أَنْ يَجْعَلَ لَكُمْ أَوْسَاخَ أَيْدِي النَّاسِ أَوْ قَالَ غُسَالَةَ أَيْدِي النَّاسِ قَالَ عَبْدُ الْمُطَّلِبِ لِأَبِيهِ أَرْسِلْنِي فَأَرْسَلَ الْعَبَّاسُ ابْنَهُ الْفَضْلَ فَأَتَيْنَا عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَدَخَلْنَا فَخَصَّ كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ مِنَّا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَا تُصَرِّرَانِ هَهُنَا؟» فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ بَعَثَنَا قَوْمُكَ وَبَنُو عَمِّكَ لِتَجْعَلَ فِيهِمْ مَا جَعَلْتَ فِي النَّاسِ مِنَ السِّعَايَةِ فَقَالَ «إِنَّ» اللهَ أَبَى ذَلِكَ لَكُمْ وَرَسُولُهُ أَنْ تَأْكُلُوا أَوْسَاخَ أَوْ قَالَ غُسَالَةَ أَيْدِي النَّاسِ
