English translation

2887. It was reported from Abū Az-Zubair, from Jābir, who said: "I became ill and I had seven sisters. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ visited me and blew on my face. I became conscious, and said: 'O Messenger of Allāh! Can I will one third of my property to my sisters?' He replied: 'Make it better' I said: 'One half?' He replied: 'Make it better.' Then he left me and went away. Then he said: 'O Jābir! I do not see you dying from this illness? And Allāh has revealed, and He described the shares of your sisters, Allāh has allocated two thirds for them.'" Jābir used to say: "This verse was revealed on me: "They ask you for a legal verdict. Say: "Allāh directs (thus) about Al-Kalālah""[2]

2887 - حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا كَثِيرُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ يَعْنِي الدَّسْتُوَائِيَّ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، قَالَ: اشْتَكَيْتُ وَعِنْدِي سَبْعُ أَخَوَاتٍ ، فَدَخَلَ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَنَفَخَ فِي وَجْهِي، فَأَفَقْتُ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أَلَا أُوصِي لِأَخَوَاتِي بِالثُّلُثِ؟ قَالَ: «أَحْسِنْ»، قُلْتُ: الشَّطْرُ؟ قَالَ: «أَحْسِنْ» ثُمَّ خَرَجَ وَتَرَكَنِي، فَقَالَ: «يَا جَابِرُ، لَا أُرَاكَ مَيِّتًا مِنْ وَجَعِكَ هَذَا، وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ أَنْزَلَ فَبَيَّنَ الَّذِي لِأَخَوَاتِكَ فَجَعَلَ لَهُنَّ الثُّلُثَيْنِ»، قَالَ: فَكَانَ جَابِرٌ يَقُولُ: " أُنْزِلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ فِيَّ: {يَسْتَفْتُونَكَ قُلِ اللَّهُ يُفْتِيكُمْ فِي الْكَلَالَةِ} [النساء: 176] "
