4ـ وَفِي نُسْخَةِ الصَّفْوَانِيِّ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ سَيْفٍ عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله أَنَّ عَلِيّاً صَلَوَاتُ الله عَلَيْهِ حِينَ سَارَ إِلَى الْكُوفَةِ اسْتَوْدَعَ أُمَّ سَلَمَةَ كُتُبَهُ وَالْوَصِيَّةَ فَلَمَّا رَجَعَ الْحَسَنُ دَفَعَتْهَا إِلَيْهِ.
4. Ahmad ibn Muhammad has narrated from Ali ibn al-Hakam from Sayf from Abu Bakr from Abu ‘Abdallah who has said the following: “When Ali was about to leave for Kufa he left in ’Umm Salama’s trust his books and his will. When al-Hasan returned to Medina she delivered all of them to him.”
