2121. Amr bin Khārajah narrated: "The Prophet ﷺ gave a Khutbah upon his she-camel, while I was under the front of her neck, and she was chewing her cud, with her saliva dripping between my shoulders. I heard him saying: 'Indeed Allāh, Most Blessed and Most High, has given the right due to every one deserving a right. So there is no will for an heir, the child is for the bed, and for the fornicator is the stone.'" (Hasan) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Ṣaḥīḥ.
٢١٢١ - حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ شَهْرِ بْنِ حَوْشَبٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ غَنْمٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ خَارِجَةَ «أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَطَبَ عَلَى نَاقَتِهِ وَأَنَا تَحْتَ جِرَانِهَا»، وَهِيَ تَقْصَعُ بِجِرَّتِهَا، وَإِنَّ لُعَابَهَا يَسِيلُ بَيْنَ كَتِفَيَّ فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ: إِنَّ اللهَ أَعْطَى كُلَّ ذِي حَقٍّ حَقَّهُ، وَلَا وَصِيَّةَ لِوَارِثٍ، وَالْوَلَدُ لِلْفِرَاشِ وَلِلْعَاهِرِ الْحَجَرُ، وَمَنِ ادَّعَى إِلَى غَيْرِ أَبِيهِ أَوِ انْتَمَى إِلَى غَيْرِ مَوَالِيهِ رَغْبَةً عَنْهُمْ فَعَلَيْهِ لَعْنَةُ اللهِ، لَا يَقْبَلُ اللهُ مِنْهُ صَرْفًا وَلَا عَدْلًا. وَسَمِعْتُ أَحْمَدَ بْنَ الْحَسَنِ يَقُولُ: قَالَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ: لَا أُبَالِي بِحَدِيثِ شَهْرِ بْنِ حَوْشَبٍ. وَسَأَلْتُ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنْ شَهْرِ بْنِ حَوْشَبٍ فَوَثَّقَهُ، وَقَالَ: إِنَّمَا يَتَكَلَّمُ فِيهِ ابْنُ عَوْنٍ، ثُمَّ رَوَى ابْنُ عَوْنٍ عَنْ هِلَالِ بْنِ أَبِي زَيْنَبَ، عَنْ شَهْرِ بْنِ حَوْشَبٍ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.

The Hadīth conclusively proves that it is prohibited for anyone to make a will or testament in favor of a legal heir, and there is unanimity of opinion among the scholars that no will favoring a particular heir can be made without the consent of all other heirs.
