Hadith Number: 6609
حدثناه ابو عمر محمد بن عبد الواحد الزاهد، حدثنا محمد بن عثمان ابن ابي شيبة، حدثنا عبيد الله بن عمر، حدثنا يونس بن ارقم، حدثنا هارون بن سعد، عن زيد بن علي بن الحسين، عن ابيه، عن جده قال: اشرف رسول الله ﷺ من بيت ومعه عماه العباس وحمزة، وعلي وجعفر وعقيل هم في ارض يعملون فيها، فقال رسول الله ﷺ: لعميه:"اختارا من هؤلاء"، فقال احدهما: اخترت جعفرا، وقال الآخر: اخترت عقيلا (1)، فقال:"خيرتكما فاخترتما، فاختار الله لي عليا (2).
Zayd bin Ali bin al-Husayn narrates from his father, and he from Zayd's grandfather, that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) looked out from a house, and with him were his two uncles, Sayyiduna Abbas and Sayyiduna Hamzah (may Allah be pleased with them both), while Sayyiduna Ali, Sayyiduna Ja'far and Sayyiduna Aqil (may Allah be pleased with them) were working on a piece of land. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to his two uncles: "Choose from among these (to take into your care)." One of them chose Ja'far and the other chose Aqil. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You have both made your choice, and Allah has chosen Ali for me."
