"عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ عَلِىٍّ فَقُلْتُ: عَلِىُّ بْنُ أَبِى طَالِبٍ حَيْثُ وَلِىَ مِنْ أَمْرِ النَّاسِ مَا وَلِىَ، كيْفَ صَنَعَ فِى سَهْمٍ ذِى الْقُرْبَى؟ قَالَ: سَلكَ بِهِ سَبِيلَ أَبِى بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ، قُلْتُ: فَمَا مَنَعَهُ؟ قَالَ: كَرِهَ أَنْ يُدَّعَى عَلَيْه خِلاَف أَبِى بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ".

"From Muhammad ibn Ishaq who said: I asked Abu Ja'far Muhammad ibn Ali, saying: Ali ibn Abi Talib, when he was in charge of the affairs of the people with what he was in charge of, how did he act regarding the share of the near kindred? He said: He followed the way of Abu Bakr and Umar. I said: Then what prevented him? He said: He disliked that it be claimed against him that he opposed Abu Bakr and Umar."
