It was reported from Ibn Ash-Shihāb, from ‘Urwah, from ‘Āishah, who said: “After the death of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ the wives of the Prophet ﷺ intended to send ‘Uthmān bin ‘Affān to Abū Bakr Aṣ-Ṣiddīq, asking for their one-eighth from the (inheritance of the) Messenger of Allāh ﷺ. ‘Āishah said to them: “Did the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ not say: ‘We do not have heirs. What we leave is Ṣadaqah (charity)?” (Ṣaḥīh)
