"And to everyone, We have appointed heirs of that (property) left by parents and relatives. To those, also, with whom you have made a pledge (brotherhood), give them their due portion [by Wasiya (wills)]. Truly, Allāh is Ever a Witness over all things." (V.4:33)

English translation

4580. Narrated Ibn 'Abbās رضي الله عنهم regarding the Verse: "To everyone, We have appointed heirs..." (V.4:33) 'Mawāli' means heirs. And regarding: "...To those also with whom you have made a pledge (brotherhood)...” (he said): When the emigrants came to Al-Madina, an emigrant used to be the heir of an Anṣārī with the exclusion of the latter’s relatives, and that was because of the bond of brotherhood which the Prophet ﷺ had established between them (i.e., the emigrants and the Anṣār). So, when the Verse: ‘To everyone, We have appointed heirs’ was revealed, (the inheritance through bond of brotherhood) was cancelled. Ibn ‘Abbās then said: “To those also with whom you have made a pledge (brotherhood)...” is concerned with the covenant of helping and advising each other. So, allies are no longer to be the heir of each other, but they can bequeath each other some of their property by means of a will (Waṣiya).

4580 - حَدَّثَنِي الصَّلْتُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، عَنْ إِدْرِيسَ، عَنْ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ مُصَرِّفٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا، {وَلِكُلٍّ جَعَلْنَا مَوَالِيَ} [النساء: 33]، قَالَ: وَرَثَةً. (وَالَّذِينَ عَاقَدَتْ أَيْمَانُكُمْ): «كَانَ المُهَاجِرُونَ لَمَّا قَدِمُوا المَدِينَةَ يَرِثُ المُهَاجِرِيُّ الأَنْصَارِيَّ، دُونَ ذَوِي رَحِمِهِ لِلْأُخُوَّةِ الَّتِي آخَى النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَيْنَهُمْ»، فَلَمَّا نَزَلَتْ: {وَلِكُلٍّ جَعَلْنَا مَوَالِيَ} [النساء: 33] نُسِخَتْ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: (وَالَّذِينَ عَاقَدَتْ أَيْمَانُكُمْ) مِنَ النَّصْرِ وَالرِّفَادَةِ وَالنَّصِيحَةِ، وَقَدْ ذَهَبَ المِيرَاثُ وَيُوصِي لَهُ، سَمِعَ أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، إِدْرِيسَ، وَسَمِعَ إِدْرِيسُ، طَلْحَةَ
