4146. It was narrated from ‘Āishah’ that Fāṭimah sent word to Abū Bakr asking for her inheritance from the Prophet ﷺ, from his charity and what was left of the Khumus of Khaibar. Abū Bakr said: “The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: ‘We are not inherited from.’”(Sahîh)

4141 - أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ الْحَارِثِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مَحْبُوبٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ مُوسَى قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ هُوَ الْفَزَارِيُّ، عَنْ شُعَيْبِ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ، عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّ فَاطِمَةَ أَرْسَلَتْ إِلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ تَسْأَلُهُ مِيرَاثَهَا مِنَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ صَدَقَتِهِ، وَمِمَّا تَرَكَ مِنْ خُمُسِ خَيْبَرَ، قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «لَا نُورَثُ»

Commentary

1. It has preceded above that the people of the Prophet’s ﷺ household considered one-fifth share of the spoils of war their right. But according to other Companions, the Khumus was the state property. However, the needy people of the Prophet’s ﷺ household could be aided from the wealth of the state treasury, by way of assistance. 2. ‘We (Prophets) leave no heritage’: This is because the Prophet ﷺ did not develop any property, nor did he take any share from the spoils of war. Rather, he used to acquire the Khumus out of the spoils of war, which was utilized by him to fulfill his own needs and then it was spent for the public welfare. In other words, Allâh’s Messenger ﷺ had merely fulfilled his bare necessities out of that wealth.
