3672. It was narrated from Shahr bin Hawshab that Ibn Ghanm mentioned that Ibn Khârijah told him that he saw the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ addressing the people from atop his mount, which was chewing its cud and its saliva was dripping down. The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said in his Khutbah: "Allâh has given each person a share of the inheritance, and it is not permissible to give bequests to an heir." (Hasan)
3642 - أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ، عَنْ شَهْرِ بْنِ حَوْشَبٍ، أَنَّ ابْنَ غُنْمٍ، ذَكَرَ أَنَّ ابْنَ خَارِجَةَ، ذَكَرَ لَهُ: أَنَّهُ شَهِدَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَخْطُبُ النَّاسَ عَلَى رَاحِلَتِهِ، وَإِنَّهَا لَتَقْصَعُ بِجَرَّتِهَا، وَإِنَّ لُعَابَهَا لَيَسِيلُ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي خُطْبَتِهِ: «إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ قَسَّمَ لِكُلِّ إِنْسَانٍ قِسْمَهُ مِنَ الْمِيرَاثِ، فَلَا تَجُوزُ لِوَارِثٍ وَصِيَّةٌ»

1. 'Saliva was dripping...' meaning he was standing below the she-camel's neck. He might have probably been holding her reins. 2. 'Each person' meaning the one who is considered worthy of inheritance. The description of most of the heirs occurs in the Glorious Qur'an. The mention of portions of some heirs occurs in traditional reports; for instance, the portion of a paternal grandmother and a maternal grandmother.
