عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ عَنِ ابْنِ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ قَالَ:
كَتَبَ عَلِيٌّ فِي وَصِيَّتِهِ: " فَإِنْ حَدَثَ بِي حَدَثٌ فِي هَذَا الْغَزْوِ، أَمَّا بَعْدُ، فَإِنَّ وَلَائِدِي اللَّاتِي أَطُوفُ عَلَيْهِنَّ تِسْعَ عَشْرَةَ وَلِيدَةً، مِنْهُنَّ أُمَّهَاتُ أَوْلَادٍ مَعَهُنَّ أَوْلَادُهُنَّ، وَمِنْهُنَّ حَبَالَى، وَمِنْهُنَّ مَنْ لَا وَلَدَ لَهُنَّ، فَقَضَيْتُ إِنْ حَدَثَ بِي حَدَثٌ فِي هَذَا الْغَزْوِ، فَإِنَّ مَنْ كَانَتْ مِنْهُنَّ لَيْسَتْ بِحُبْلَى وَلَيْسَ لَهَا وَلَدٌ، فَهِيَ عَتِيقَةٌ لِوَجْهِ اللهِ لَيْسَ لِأَحَدٍ عَلَيْهَا سَبِيلٌ، وَمَنْ كَانَتْ مِنْهُنَّ حُبْلَى أَوْ لَهَا وَلَدٌ فَإِنَّهَا تُحْبَسُ عَلَى وَلَدِهَا وَهِيَ مِنْ حَظِّهِ، فَإِنْ مَاتَ وَلَدُهَا وَهِيَ حَيَّةٌ، فَإِنَّهَا عَتِيقَةٌ لِوَجْهِ اللهِ، هَذَا مَا قَضَيْتُ فِي وَلَائِدِي التِّسْعَ عَشْرَةَ وَاللهُ الْمُسْتَعَانُ ". " شَهِدَ هَيَّاجُ بْنُ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ، وَعُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أَبِي رَافِعٍ، وَكُتِبَ فِي جُمَادَى سَنَةَ سَبْعٍ وَثَلَاثِينَ

'Ali wrote in his will: "If something happens to me in this military campaign, then to proceed: my slave-girls with whom I have intercourse are nineteen slave-girls. Among them are umm al-walad with their children, among them are pregnant women, and among them are those who have no child. I have decided that if something happens to me in this military campaign, then whichever of them is not pregnant and has no child, she is freed for the sake of Allah, and no one has any claim over her. Whichever of them is pregnant or has a child, she shall be held for her child, and she is from his share. If her child dies while she is alive, she is freed for the sake of Allah. This is what I have decided regarding my nineteen slave-girls, and Allah is the One sought for help." Hayyaj ibn Abi Sufyan and 'Ubayd Allah ibn Abi Rafi' witnessed it, and it was written in Jumada, in the year thirty-seven."
