He (i.e., the Prophet ﷺ) said, "May Allāh bestow His Mercy on Ibn 'Afrā' (Sa'd bin Khaula)." I said, "O Allāh's Messenger! May I will all my property (in charity)?" He said, "No." I said, "Then may I will half of it?" He said, "No." I said, "One-third?" He said, "Yes, one-third, yet even one-third is too much. It is better for you to leave your inheritors wealthy than to leave them (poor) begging others, and whatever you spend for Allāh's sake will be considered as a charitable deed, even the handful of food you put in your wife's mouth. Allāh may lengthen your age so that some people may benefit by you, and some others be harmed by you." At that time Sa'd had only one daughter.

This is my brother’s son whom my brother entrusted to me.” Then ‘Abd bin Zam’a got up and said, “This is my brother and the son of the slave-girl of my father.” Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ said, “O ‘Abd bin Zam’a! This boy is for you as the boy belongs to the bed (where he was born), and for the adulterer is the stone.” Then the Prophet ﷺ said to his wife Sauda bint Zam’a, “Screen yourself from this boy,” when he saw the boy's resemblance to 'Utba. Since then the boy did not see Sauda till he died.

2747. Narrated Ibn 'Abbās رضي الله عنهم: The custom (in olden days) was that the property of the deceased would be inherited by his offspring; as for the parents (of the deceased), they would inherit by will of the deceased. Then Allāh cancelled from that custom whatever He wished and fixed for the male double the amount inherited by the female, and for each parent a sixth (of the whole legacy) and for the wife an eighth(2) or a fourth(3) and for the husband a half or a fourth. (1) (Ch. 6) In Islām, what the deceased leaves is distributed among his heirs according to a certain ratio. The deceased may bequeath one-third of his property to other than his legal heirs who should not inherit by means of such a will.

2748. Narrated Abū Hurairah رضي الله عنه: "O Allāh's Messenger! What kind of charity is the best?" He replied, "To give in charity when you are healthy and greedy, hoping to be wealthy and afraid of becoming poor. Don't delay giving in charity till the time comes when you are on the deathbed when you say, 'Give so much to so-and-so and so much to so-and-so,' and at that time the property is not yours but it belongs to so-and-so (i.e., your inheritors)."

This wealth is green and sweet (i.e., as tempting as fruits), and whoever takes it without greed then he is blessed in it, and whoever takes it with greediness, he is not blessed in it and he is like one who eats and never gets satisfied. “The upper (i.e., giving) hand is better than the lower (i.e., taking) hand.” Hakim added, “I said, ‘O Allāh’s Messenger! By Him Who has sent you with the Truth I will never demand anything from anybody after you till I die.’” Afterwards, Abū Bakr used to call Hakim to give him something but he refused to accept anything from him. Then ‘Umar called him to give him (something) but he refused. Then ‘Umar said, “O Muslims! I offered to him (i.e., Hakim) his share which Allāh has ordained for him from this booty and he refuses to take it.” Thus Hakim did not ask anybody for anything after the Prophet ﷺ, till he died - may Allāh bestow His Mercy upon him.

Ibn 'Abbās said, "When the Qur'anic Verse: 'And warn your tribe (O Muhammad ﷺ) of near kindred' (V.26:214) was revealed, the Prophet ﷺ started calling the various big families of Quraish, 'O Banī Fīhr!

Allāh, the Blessed, the Superior states in His Book: 'By no means shall you attain Al-Birr, unless you spend of that which you love...', (V.3:92) and the most beloved property to me is Bairuhā' (which was a garden where Allāh's Messenger ﷺ used to go to sit in its shade and drink from its water).(1) I give it to Allāh and His Messenger ﷺ hoping for Allāh's Reward in the Hereafter. So, O Allāh's Messenger! Use it as Allāh orders you to use it." Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "Bravo! O Abū Ṭalha, it is fruitful property. We have accepted it from you and now we return it to you. Distribute it amongst your relatives." So, Abū Ṭalha distributed it amongst his relatives, amongst whom were Ubaī and Ḥassān. When Ḥassān sold his share of that garden to Mu'awiya, he was asked, "How do you sell Abū Ṭalha's Ṣadaqa?" He replied, "Why should not I sell a Ṣā' of dates for a Ṣā' of money?"(2) The garden was situated in the courtyard of the palace of Bānī Jadīla built by Mu'awiya.

2759. Narrated Ibn 'Abbās رضي الله عنهما: (1) (Ch. 17) The description between brackets is said by Anas. (2) (Ch. 17) This shows that Ka'b did not give his garden as an endowment, otherwise Ḥassān could not have sold it. Some people claim that the provision in the above Verse is abrogated; by Allāh, it is not abrogated, but the people have stopped acting upon it. There are two kinds of guardians (who are in charge of the inheritance): One is that who inherits; such a person should give (of what he inherits to the relatives, the orphans and the needy, etc.), the other is that who does not inherit (e.g., the guardian of the orphans); such a person should speak kindly and say (to those who are present at the time of distribution), I can not give it to you (as the wealth belongs to the orphans).”

2763. Narrated Az-Zuhri: 'Urwa bin Az-Zubair said that he asked 'Aishah رضي الله عنها about the meaning of the Qur'anic Verse: "And if you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly with the orphan-girls then marry (other) women of your choice..." (V.4:2-3) 'Aishah said, "It is about a female orphan under the guardianship of her guardian who is inclined towards her because of her beauty and wealth, and likes to marry her with a Mahr less than what is given to women of her standard. So they (i.e., guardians) were forbidden to marry the orphans unless they paid them a full appropriate Mahr, (otherwise) they were ordered to marry other women instead of them. Later on the people asked Allāh's Messenger ﷺ about it. So Allāh revealed the following Verse: 'They ask your legal instruction (O Muḥammad ﷺ!) concerning women, say: Allāh instructs you about them,...' (V.4:127) "And in this Verse, Allāh indicated that if the orphan-girl was beautiful and wealthy, her guardian would have the desire to marry her without giving her an appropriate Mahr equal to what her peers could get, but if she was undesirable for lack of beauty or wealth, then he would not marry her, but seek to marry some other woman instead of her. So, since he did not marry her when he had no inclination towards her, he had not the right to marry her when he had an interest in her, unless he treated her justly by giving her a full Mahr and securing all her rights."

2764. Narrated Ibn 'Umar رضي الله عنهما: 'Umar gave in charity some of his property, a garden of date-palms called Thamgh. 'Umar said, “O Allāh's Messenger! I have some property which I prize highly and I want to give it in charity.” The Prophet ﷺ said, “Give it in charity (i.e., as an endowment) with its land and trees on the condition that the land and trees will neither be sold nor given as a present, nor bequeathed, but the fruits are to be spent in charity.” So 'Umar gave it in charity, and it was for Allāh's Cause, the emancipation of slaves, for the poor, for guests, for travellers, and for kinsmen.

2767. Nāfi' said, "Ibn 'Umar never refused to be appointed as a guardian." The most beloved thing to Ibn Sirīn concerning an orphan's wealth was that the orphan's advisors and guardians would assemble to decide what is best for him. When Ṭawūs was asked about something concerning an orphan's affairs, he would recite: '...And Allāh knows him who means mischief from him who means good...' (V.2:220) 'Aṭā' said concerning some orphans, "The guardian is to provide for the young and the old orphans according to their needs from their shares."

The Prophet ﷺ used to enter it and drink from its fresh water. When the following Divine Verse were revealed: "By no means shall you attain Al-Birr (piety, righteousness, here it means Allāh's Reward i.e., Paradise) unless you spend (in Allāh's Cause) of that which you love..." (V.3:92) Abū Ṭalḥa got up saying, "O Allāh's Messenger! Allāh says: 'By no means shall you attain Al-Birr, unless you spend (in Allāh's Cause) of that which you love...', and I prize Bairuhā above all my wealth, which I want to give in charity for Allāh's sake, hoping for its reward from Allāh. So you can use it as Allāh directs you." On that the Prophet ﷺ said, "Bravo! It is a profitable (or perishable) property. (Ibn Maslama is not sure as to which word is right, i.e., profitable or perishable.) I have heard what you have said, and I recommend that you distribute this amongst your relatives." On that Abū Ṭalḥa said, "O Allāh's Messenger! I will do (as you have suggested)." So, Abū Ṭalḥa distributed that garden amongst his relatives and cousins.

When Tamīm and 'Adī returned conveying the property of the deceased, they claimed that they had lost a silver bowl with gold engraving. Allāh's Messenger ﷺ made them take an oath (to confirm their claim), and then the bowl was found in Makkah with some people who claimed that they had bought it from Tamīm and 'Adī. Then two witnesses from the relatives of the deceased got up and swore that their witnesses were more valid than the witnesses of 'Adī and Tamīm, and that the bowl belonged to their deceased fellow. So, this Verse was revealed in connection with this case; 'O you who believe! When death approaches any of you...' (V.5:106)

2780 - وَقَالَ لِي عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي زَائِدَةَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي القَاسِمِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ المَلِكِ بْنِ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا، قَالَ: خَرَجَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي سَهْمٍ مَعَ تَمِيمٍ الدَّارِيِّ، وَعَدِيِّ بْنِ بَدَّاءٍ، فَمَاتَ السَّهْمِيُّ بِأَرْضٍ لَيْسَ بِهَا مُسْلِمٌ، فَلَمَّا قَدِمَا بِتَرِكَتِهِ، فَقَدُوا جَامًا مِنْ فِضَّةٍ مُخَوَّصًا مِنْ ذَهَبٍ، «فَأَحْلَفَهُمَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلّى الله عليه وسلم»، ثُمَّ وُجِدَ الجَامُ بِمَكَّةَ، فَقَالُوا: ابْتَعْنَاهُ مِنْ تَمِيمٍ وَعَدِيٍّ، فَقَامَ رَجُلاَنِ مِنْ أَوْلِيَائِهِ، فَحَلَفَا لَشَهَادَتُنَا أَحَقُّ مِنْ شَهَادَتِهِمَا، وَإِنَّ الجَامَ لِصَاحِبِهِمْ، قَالَ: وَفِيهِمْ نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الآيَةُ: {يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا شَهَادَةُ بَيْنِكُمْ إِذَا حَضَرَ أَحَدَكُمُ المَوْتُ} [المائدة: 106]

2781. Narrated Jābir bin 'Abdullāh Al-Anṣārī: My father was martyred on the day (of the Ghazwa) of Uḥud and left six daughters and some debts to be paid. When the time of plucking the date-fruits came, I went to Allāh's Messenger ﷺ and said, "O Allāh's Messenger! You know that my father was martyred on the day of Uḥud and owed much debt, and I wish that the creditors would see you." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Go and collect the various kinds of dates and place them separately in heaps". I did accordingly and called him. On seeing him, the creditors started claiming their rights pressingly at that time. When the Prophet ﷺ saw how they behaved, he went round the biggest heap for three times and sat over it and said, "Call your companions (i.e., the creditors)." Then he kept on measuring and giving them, till Allāh cleared all my father's debts. By Allāh, it would have pleased me that Allāh would clear the debts of my father even though I had not taken a single date to my sisters. But by Allāh, all the heaps were complete, (as they were) and I looked at the heap where Allāh's Messenger ﷺ was sitting and noticed as if not a single date had been taken thereof. Allāh تعالى said: "So we planted amongst them enmity and hatred".
