4139. It was narrated that Yazîd bin Hurmuz said: "Najdah wrote to Ibn 'Abbâs and asked him about the share of the relatives (of the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ), to whom should it be given?" Yazîd bin Hurmuz said: "I wrote down the letter of Ibn 'Abbâs to Najdah in which he said: 'You have written asking me about the share of the relatives (of the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ), to whom should it be given? It is for us, the members of the household (Ahl Al-Bait). 'Umar used to offer to help the single among us (to get married), and to give some to our poor and to pay off the debts of our debtors. We insisted that he should give it to us, but he refused, and we left it at that." (Sahih)
