This prophetic hadith is about the will of the Prophet (pbuh) to Imam Ali (pbuh) regarding the Imamate and succession after the Prophet (pbuh). The mentioned hadith has been narrated in different ways and texts in many Sunni sources, the famous text of which is the hadith "Likul Nabi'i was a guardian and an heir, and indeed Ali (a.s.) is a guardian and an heir". The application of the will and the position of the testator indicates the meaning of the succession of Ali (a.s.) as the leader of the Islamic Ummah after the Prophet (s.a.w.).
