2292. Narrated Sa'īd bin Jubair: Ibn Abbās رضي الله عنهم said, "In the Verse: 'And to everyone, We have appointed heirs of that (property)...'" (4: 33). (And regarding the Verse) 'And those with whom you have made a pledge,' Ibn 'Abbās said, "When the emigrants came to the Prophet ﷺ in Al-Madīna, the emigrant would inherit the Anṣārī, while the latter's relatives would not inherit him because of the bond of brotherhood which the Prophet ﷺ established between them (i.e., the emigrants and the Anṣār). When the Verse: 'And to everyone We have appointed heirs' (V.4:33) was revealed, it cancelled [the bond (the pledge) of brotherhood regarding inheritance]." Then he said, "The verse: 'To those also with whom you have made a pledge (brotherhood)' remained valid regarding co-operation and mutual advice, while the matter of inheritance was excluded; and it became permissible to assign something in one's testament to the person who had had the right of inheriting before.
