1610. Mālik bin Aws bin Al-Ḥadathān said: "I entered upon 'Umar bin Al-Khaṭṭāb. (Then) 'Uthmān bin 'Affān, Az-Zubair, 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin Awf, and Sa'd bin Abī Waqqāṣ entered. Then 'Alī and Al-'Abbās came disputing. 'Umar said to them: 'I ask you, by Allāh the One by Whose Will the heavens and the earth are maintained, do you know that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "We are not inherited from, what we leave is charity?" They said: 'Yes.' 'Umar said: 'When the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ died, Abū Bakr said: "I am the caretaker of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ." So you and he went to Abū Bakr and you sought your inheritance from the son of your brother, and he sought the inheritance of his wife from her father. So Abū Bakr said that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "We are not inherited from, what we leave is charity." And Allāh knows that he is truthful, innocent, instructing and following the truth.'" (Sahih)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] There is a lengthy story along with the Ḥadīth. And this Ḥadīth is Ḥasan Ṣahih Gharīb as a narration of Mālik bin Anas.
