English translation

6723. Narrated Jābir bin 'Abdullāh رضي الله عنه: I became sick, so Allāh's Messenger ﷺ and Abū Bakr came on foot to pay me a visit. When they came, I was unconscious. Allāh's Messenger ﷺ performed ablution and he poured over me the water of his ablution, and I came to my senses and said, "O Allāh's Messenger! What shall I do regarding my property? How shall I distribute it?" The Prophet ﷺ did not reply till the Divine Verses of inheritance (Al-Farā'id)(2) were revealed.

6724. Narrated Abū Hurairah رضي الله عنه: Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "Beware of suspicion, for it is the worst of false tales (1) (Book 85) (H. 6723) Al-Farā'id means the shares which are fixed for the closest relatives of the deceased. Such shares are prescribed in the Qur'an and it is: half, one-fourth, one-eighth, two-third, one-third, and one-sixth. (See the Qur'an, Sūrah 4, Verses 11, 12 & 176). and don't look for the other's faults and don't spy, and don't hate each other, and don't desert (cut your relations with) one another. O Allāh's slaves, be brothers!" [See Hadith No. 6064]

6725. Narrated 'Āishah رضي الله عنها: Fāṭima and Al-'Abbās عليهما السلام came to Abū Bakr, seeking their share from the property of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ, and at that time, they were asking for their land at Fadak and their share from Khaibar..... (Contd. to No. 6726)

6726. Abū Bakr said to them, "I have heard from Allāh's Messenger ﷺ saying, 'Our property is not to be inherited, and whatever we (after our death) leave is to be spent in charity, but the family of Muḥammad (ﷺ) may take their provisions from this property.'" Abū Bakr added, "By Allāh, I will not leave the procedure I saw Allāh's Messenger ﷺ following during his lifetime concerning this property." Therefore Fāṭima left Abū Bakr and did not speak to him till she died.

6728. Narrated Mālik bin 'Aus: I went and entered upon 'Umar, his doorman, Yarfā came saying, "Uthmān, 'Abdur-Raḥmān, Az-Zubair and Sa'd are asking your permission (to see you). May I admit them?" 'Umar said, "Yes." So he admitted them. Then he came again and said, "May I admit 'Alī and 'Abbās?" He said, "Yes." 'Abbās said, "O, chief of the believers! Judge between me and this (man 'Alī)." 'Umar said, "I beseech you by Allāh, by Whose Permission both the heaven and the earth exist, do you know that Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, 'Our (the Messengers') property is not to be inherited, and whatever we leave (after our death) is Sadaqa (to be spent in charity)?" And by that Allāh's Messenger ﷺ meant himself." The group said, "(No doubt), he said so." 'Umar then faced 'Alī and 'Abbās and said, "Do you both know that Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said that? They replied, "(No doubt), he, said so." 'Umar said, "So let me talk to you about this matter. Allāh favoured His Messenger ﷺ with something of this Faī (i.e., booty won by the Muslims at war without fighting) which He did not give to anybody else. Allāh تعالى said: 'And what Allāh gave as (Faī) booty to His Messenger... (up to)... to do all thing.' (V.59:6) And so that property was only for Allāh's Messenger ﷺ. Yet, by Allāh, he neither gathered that property for himself nor withheld it from you, but he gave its income to you, and distributed it among you till there remained the present property; out of which the Prophet ﷺ used to spend the yearly maintenance for his family, and whatever used to remain he used to spend it where Allāh's property is spent (i.e., in charity, etc.). Allāh's Messenger ﷺ followed that system throughout his life. Now I beseech you by Allāh, do you know all that?" They said, "Yes." Umar then said to 'Alī and 'Abbās, "I beseech you by Allāh, do you know that?" Both of them said, "Yes." Umar added, "And when the Prophet ﷺ died, Abū Bakr said, 'I am the successor of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ,' and took charge of that property and managed it in the same way as Allāh's Messenger ﷺ did. Then I took charge of this property for two years, during which I managed it as Allāh's Messenger ﷺ and Abū Bakr did. Then you both ('Alī and 'Abbās) came to talk to me, bearing the same claim and presenting the same case. (O 'Abbās!) You came to me asking for your share from the property of your nephew, and this man ('Alī) came to me, asking for the share of his wife from the property of her father. I said, 'If you both wish, I will give that to you on that condition [i.e., that you would follow the way of the Prophet ﷺ and Abū Bakr and as I ('Umar) have done in managing it]'. Now both of you seek of me a verdict other than that? Lo! By Allāh, by Whose Permission both the heaven and the earth exist, I will not give any verdict other than that till the Hour is established. If you are unable to manage it, then return it to me, and I will be sufficient to manage it on your behalf."

6733. Narrated Sa'd bin Abī Waqqās: I was stricken by an ailment that led me to the verge of death. The Prophet ﷺ came to pay me a visit. I said, "O Allāh's Messenger! I have much property and no heir except my (only) daughter. Shall I give two-third of my property in charity?" He said, "No." I said, "Half of it?" He said, "No". I said, "One-third of it?" He said, "(You may do so) though one-third is also too much, for it is better for you to leave your offspring wealthy than to leave them poor, asking others for help. And whatever you spend (for Allāh's sake) you will be rewarded for it, even for a morsel of food which you may put in the mouth of your wife.” I said, “O Allāh’s Messenger! Will I remain behind and fail to complete my emigration?” The Prophet ﷺ said, “If you are left behind after me, whatever good deeds you will do for Allāh’s sake will upgrade you and raise you high. May be you will have long life so that some people may benefit by you and others (the enemies) be harmed by you.”(1) But Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ felt sorry for Sa’d bin Khaula as he died in Makkah. (Sufyān, a subnarrator, said that Sa’d bin Khaula was a man from the tribe of Banī ‘Āmir bin Lu’āi.)

6736. Narrated Huzail bin Shurahbil: Abū Mūsā was asked regarding (the inheritance of) a daughter, a son's daughter, and a sister. He said, "The daughter will take half and the sister will take the half. If you go to Ibn Mas'ūd, he will tell you the same." Ibn Mas'ūd was asked and was told of Abū Mūsā's verdict. Ibn Mas'ūd then said, "If I give the same verdict, I would stray and would not be of the rightly-guided. The verdict I will give in his case, will be the same as the Prophet ﷺ did, i.e., one-half is for the daughter, and one-sixth for the son's daughter, i.e. both shares make two-thirds of the total property; and the rest is for the sister." Afterwards we came to Abū Mūsā and informed him of Ibn Mas'ūd's verdict, whereupon he said, "So, do not ask me for verdicts, as long as this learned man is among you."

One of those cousins was her husband, and the other was her maternal brother. made a pledge (brotherhood), give them their due portion by (Wasiya — wills)...” (V.4:33) When the emigrants came to Al-Madīna, the Anṣār used to be the heir of the emigrants (and vice versa) instead of their own kindred by blood (Dhawīl-Arḥām), and that was because of the bond of brotherhood which the Prophet ﷺ had established between them, i.e., the Anṣār and the emigrants. But when the Divine Verse : “And to everyone, We have appointed heirs...” (V.4:33) was revealed, it cancelled the other order i.e.: “...To those also with whom you have made a pledge (brotherhood), give them their due portion (by Wasiya — wills)...” (V.4:33) [See Vol. 3, Hadīth No. 2292]

There was written in it, legal verdicts about the retaliation for wounds, the ages of the camels (to be paid as Zakāt or as blood money). In it was also written: “Al-Madina is a sanctuary from ‘Air (mountain) to Thaur (mountain). So whoever innovates in it an heresy (something new in religion), or commits a crime in it or gives shelter to such an innovator will incur the Curse of Allāh, the angels and all the people, and none of his compulsory or optional good deeds will be accepted on the Day of Resurrection. And whoever (a freed slave) takes as his master some people other than his real masters, without the permission of his real masters, will incur the Curse of Allāh, the angels and all the people, and none of his compulsory, or optional good deeds will be accepted on the Day of Resurrection. And the asylum granted by any Muslim is to be secured by all the Muslims, even if it is granted by one of the lowest social status among them; and whoever betrays a Muslim in this respect will incur the Curse of Allāh, the angels, and all the people, and none of his compulsory or optional good deeds will be accepted on the Day of Resurrection."
