Summary: We prove that a finitely generated Lie algebra \(L\) such that (i) every commutator in generators is ad-nilpotent, and (ii) \(L\) satisfies a polynomial identity, is nilpotent. As a corollary we get that a finitely generated residually-\(p\) torsion group whose pro-\(p\) completion satisfies a pro-\(p\) identity is finite.
