English translation
1608. Abū Hurairah narrated: "Fātimah came to Abū Bakr and said: 'Who will inherit from you?' He said: 'My family and my son.' She said: 'So what about me? I do not get inheritance from my father.'" So Abū Bakr said: 'I heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ say: 'We are not inherited from' but I support those whom the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ used to support, and I spend upon those whom the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ spent upon." (Hasan) [Abū 'Eisā said:] There are narrations on this topic from 'Umar, Ṭalḥah, Az-Zubair, 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin 'Awf, Sa'd and 'Aishah. The Hadīth of Abū Hurairah is Hasan Gharīb from this route. It is only reported with a chain by Hammād bin Salamah and 'Abdul-Wahhāb bin 'Aṭā', from Muḥammad bin 'Amr, from Abū Salamah, from Abū Hurairah. [I asked Muḥammad about this Hadīth and he said: "No one is known to have reported it from Muḥammad bin 'Amr, from Abū Salamah, from Abū Hurairah, except for Ḥammād bin Salamah. 'Abdul-Wahhāb bin 'Aṭā reported it from Muḥammad bin 'Amr, from Abū Salamah, and from Abū Hurairah and it is similar to the narration of Ḥammād bin Salamah.] And this Hadīth has been reported through other routes from Abū Bakr Aṣ-Ṣiddīq, from the Prophet ﷺ.
