3674 - حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَا زَالَ جِبْرَائِيلُ يُوصِينِي بِالْجَارِ، حَتَّى ظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُ سَيُوَرِّثُهُ»

Commentary
a. The Prophet ﷺ would not give any religious ruling with his own free will, rather he used to follow the rulings of revelation, and order people also to abide by them. b. The principals of inheritance are derived from the texts of the Islamic Shari'ah, so they are not subject to the method of Islamic analogy. c. A neighbor should be treated kindly as much as possible.
