English translation

2886. It was reported from Ibn Munkadir, that he heard Jābir saying: “I became ill, so the Prophet ﷺ came to visit me with Abū Bakr on foot. I was unconscious and I could not speak to him. He performed Wudūʿ and sprinkled water on me, and I became conscious. I said: ‘O Messenger of Allāh! What am I supposed to do with my wealth, as I have sisters?" He said: "Then Allāh revealed the Verse about inheritance: They ask you for a legal verdict. Say: "Allāh directs (thus) about Al-Kalālah."[1] (Saḥih)

Arabic text

2886 - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ الْمُنْكَدِرِ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ جَابِرًا، يَقُولُ: " مَرِضْتُ فَأَتَانِي النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَعُودُنِي، هُوَ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ مَاشِيَيْنِ، وَقَدْ أُغْمِيَ عَلَيَّ، فَلَمْ أُكَلِّمْهُ، فَتَوَضَّأَ وَصَبَّهُ عَلَيَّ فَأَفَقْتُ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، كَيْفَ أَصْنَعُ فِي مَالِي وَلِي أَخَوَاتٌ؟ قَالَ: فَنَزَلَتْ آيَةُ الْمَوَارِيثِ: {يَسْتَفْتُونَكَ قُلِ اللَّهُ يُفْتِيكُمْ فِي الْكَلَالَةِ} [النساء: 176] "

Commentary

Kalālah refers to the case of a deceased person who leaves behind neither ascendants (parents) nor descendants (children) in the direct line, regardless of whether he has or does not have other relations.
