1609. Abū Hurairah narrated that Fāṭimah came to Abū Bakr and 'Umar, may Allāh be pleased with them both, to ask them about her inheritance from the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ. They said: "We heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ say: 'I am not inherited from.'" So she said: 'By Allāh! I will never talk to you two again.' So she died having not talked to them." (Hasan) 'Alī bin 'Eisā said: "The meaning of not speaking to you two is: 'Never again regarding this inheritance, because you two are truthful.'"

١٦٠٩ - حَدَّثَنَا بِذَلِكَ ‌عَلِيُّ بْنُ عِيسَى قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ بْنُ عَطَاءٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ ‌أَبِي سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ ‌أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ «أَنَّ فَاطِمَةَ» جَاءَتْ ‌أَبَا بَكْرٍ ‌وَعُمَرَ تَسْأَلُ مِيرَاثَهَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَا: سَمِعْنَا رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: إِنِّي لَا أُورَثُ قَالَتْ: وَاللهِ لَا أُكَلِّمُكُمَا أَبَدًا، فَمَاتَتْ وَلَا تُكَلِّمُهُمَا قَالَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ عِيسَى: مَعْنَى لَا أُكَلِّمُكُمَا؛ تَعْنِي فِي هَذَا الْمِيرَاثِ أَبَدًا، أَنْتُمَا صَادِقَانِ، وَقَدْ رُوِيَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ مِنْ غَيْرِ وَجْهٍ عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ.

Commentary

The Prophet ﷺ is the spiritual father of a nation, his legacy is not wealth or property, his inheritance is knowledge which he receives through revelation. His (Ummah) nation is heir of his mission and knowledge. Prophets do not have any desire for wealth and property, they want acquittal from worldly affairs, and therefore, they do not collect wealth and do not have any heirs.
