3712. Abū Bakr said, "Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, 'We (Prophets), our property is not inherited, and whatever we leave is Sadaqa, but Muḥammad's family can eat from this property, i.e., Allāh's property, but they have no right to take more than the food they need.' By Allāh! I will not bring any change in dealing with the Sadaqa of the Prophet ﷺ (and will keep them) as they used to be observed in his (i.e., the Prophet's) lifetime, and I will dispose with it as Allāh's Messenger ﷺ used to do." Then 'Alī said, "I testify that Lā ilaha illallāh (none has the right to be worshipped but Allāh), and that Muḥammad is His Messenger," and added, "O Abū Bakr! We acknowledge your superiority." Then he (i.e., 'Ali) mentioned their own relationship to Allāh's Messenger ﷺ and their right. Abū Bakr then spoke saying, "By Allāh in Whose Hands my soul is. I love to do good to the relatives of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ rather than to my own relatives."

3712 - فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: «لاَ نُورَثُ مَا تَرَكْنَا فَهُوَ صَدَقَةٌ، إِنَّمَا يَأْكُلُ آلُ مُحَمَّدٍ مِنْ هَذَا المَالِ، يَعْنِي مَالَ اللَّهِ، لَيْسَ لَهُمْ أَنْ يَزِيدُوا عَلَى المَأْكَلِ»، وَإِنِّي وَاللَّهِ لاَ أُغَيِّرُ شَيْئًا مِنْ صَدَقَاتِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الَّتِي كَانَتْ عَلَيْهَا فِي عَهْدِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَلَأَعْمَلَنَّ فِيهَا بِمَا عَمِلَ فِيهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَتَشَهَّدَ عَلِيٌّ ثُمَّ قَالَ: إِنَّا قَدْ عَرَفْنَا يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ فَضِيلَتَكَ، وَذَكَرَ قَرَابَتَهُمْ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَحَقَّهُمْ، فَتَكَلَّمَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَقَالَ: وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ، لَقَرَابَةُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ أَنْ أَصِلَ مِنْ قَرَابَتِي
