Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah:
I became sick so Allah's Apostle and Abu Bakr came on
foot to pay me a visit. When they came, I was unconscious.
Allah's Apostle performed ablution and he poured over me
the water (of his ablution) and I came to my senses and
said, "O Allah's Apostle! What shall I do regarding my
property? How shall I distribute it?" The Prophet did not
reply till the Divine Verses of inheritance were revealed
.
Volume 8, Book 80, Number 717:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Apostle said, 'Beware of suspicion, for it is
the worst of false tales and don't look for the other's
faults and don't spy and don't hate each other, and don't
desert (cut your relations with) one another O Allah's
slaves, be brothers!" (See Hadith No. 90)

Narrated 'Aisha:
Fatima and Al 'Abbas came to Abu Bakr, seeking their
share from the property of Allah's Apostle and at that
time, they were asking for their land at Fadak and their
share from Khaibar. Abu Bakr said to them, " I have heard
from Allah's Apostle saying, 'Our property cannot be
inherited, and whatever we leave is to be spent in
charity, but the family of Muhammad may take their
provisions from this property." Abu Bakr added, "By Allah,
I will not leave the procedure I saw Allah's Apostle
following during his lifetime concerning this property."
Therefore Fatima left Abu Bakr and did not speak to him
till she died.

Narrated Malik bin Aus:
'I went and entered upon 'Umar, his doorman, Yarfa came
saying 'Uthman, 'Abdur-Rahman, Az-Zubair and Sa'd are
asking your permission (to see you). May I admit them? 'Umar
said, 'Yes.' So he admitted them Then he came again and
said, 'May I admit 'Ali and 'Abbas?' He said, 'Yes.' 'Abbas
said, 'O, chief of the believers! Judge between me and
this man (Ali ). 'Umar said, 'I beseech you by Allah by
Whose permission both the heaven and the earth exist, do
you know that Allah's Apostle said, 'Our (the Apostles')
property will not be inherited, and whatever we leave
(after our death) is to be spent in charity?' And by that
Allah's Apostle meant himself.' The group said, '(No
doubt), he said so.' 'Umar then faced 'Ali and 'Abbas and
said, 'Do you both know that Allah's Apostle said that?'
They replied, '(No doubt), he said so.' 'Umar said, 'So
let me talk to you about this matter. Allah favored His
Apostle with something of this Fai' (i.e. booty won by the
Muslims at war without fighting) which He did not give to
anybody else;
Allah said:-- 'And what Allah gave to His Apostle ( Fai'
Booty) .........to do all things....(59.6) And so that
property was only for Allah's Apostle . Yet, by Allah, he
neither gathered that property for himself nor withheld it
from you, but he gave its income to you, and distributed
it among you till there remained the present property out
of which the Prophet used to spend the yearly maintenance
for his family, and whatever used to remain, he used to
spend it where Allah's property is spent (i.e. in charity
etc.). Allah's Apostle followed that throughout his life.
Now I beseech you by Allah, do you know all that?' They
said, 'Yes.' 'Umar then said to 'Ali and 'Abbas, 'I
beseech you by Allah, do you know that?' Both of them
said, 'Yes.' 'Umar added, 'And when the Prophet died, Abu
Bakr said, ' I am the successor of Allah's Apostle, and
took charge of that property and managed it in the same
way as Allah's Apostle did.
Then I took charge of this property for two years
during which I managed it as Allah's Apostle and Abu Bakr
did. Then you both ('Ali and 'Abbas) came to talk to me,
bearing the same claim and presenting the same case. (O 'Abbas!)
You came to me asking for your share from the property of
your nephew, and this man (Ali) came to me, asking for the
share of h is wife from the property of her father. I
said, 'If you both wish, I will give that to you on that
condition (i.e. that you would follow the way of the
Prophet and Abu Bakr and as I (Umar) have done in man
aging it).' Now both of you seek of me a verdict other
than that? Lo! By Allah, by Whose permission both the
heaven and the earth exist, I will not give any verdict
other than that till the Hour is established. If you are
unable to manage it, then return it to me, and I will be
sufficient to manage it on your behalf.' "
Volume 8, Book 80, Number 721:

Narrated 'Urwa:
'Aisha said, "When Allah's Apostle died, his wives

share of the inheritance." Then 'Aisha said to them,
"Didn't Allah's Apostle say, 'Our (Apostles') property is
not to be inherited, and whatever we leave is to be spent
in charity?'"
Volume 8, Book 80, Number 723:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, "I am more closer to the believers
than their own selves, so whoever (of them) dies while
being in debt and leaves nothing for its repayment, then
we are to pay his debts on his behalf and whoever (among
the believers) dies leaving some property, then that
property is for his heirs."
Volume 8, Book 80, Number 724:
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:
The Prophet said, "Give the Fara'id (the shares of the
inheritance that are prescribed in the Qur'an) to those
who are entitled to receive it. Then whatever remains,
should be given to the closest male relative of the
deceased ."
Volume 8, Book 80, Number 725:
Narrated Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas:
I was stricken by an ailment that led me to the verge
of death. The Prophet came to pay me a visit. I said, "O
Allah's Apostle! I have much property and no heir except
my single daughter. Shall I give two-thirds of my property
in charity?" He said, "No." I said, "Half of it?" He said,
"No." I said, "One-third of it?" He said, "You may do so)
though one-third is also to a much, for it is better for
you to leave your off-spring wealthy than to leave them
poor, asking others for help. And whatever you spend (for
Allah's sake) you will be rewarded for it, even for a
morsel of food which you may put in the mouth of your
wife." I said, "O Allah's Apostle! Will I remain behind
and fail to complete my emigration?" The Prophet said, "If
you are left behind after me, whatever good deeds you will
do for Allah's sake, that will upgrade you and raise you
high. May be you will have long life so that some people
may benefit by you and others (the enemies) be harmed by
you." But Allah's Apostle felt sorry for Sa'd bin Khaula
as he died in Mecca. (Sufyan, a sub-narrator said that
Sa'd bin Khaula was a man from the tribe of Bani 'Amir bin
Lu'ai.)
Volume 8, Book 80, Number 726:
Narrated Al-Aswad bin Yazid:
Mu'adh bin Jabal came to us in Yemen as a tutor and a
ruler, and we (the people of Yemen) asked him about (the
distribution of the property of ) a man who had died
leaving a daughter and a sister. Mu'adh gave the daughter
one-half of the property and gave the sister the other
half.
Volume 8, Book 80, Number 727:

closest male relative of the deceased.'
Volume 8, Book 80, Number 728:
Narrated Huzail bin Shirahbil:
Abu Musa was asked regarding (the inheritance of) a
daughter, a son's daughter, and a sister. He said, "The
daughter will take one-half and the sister will take
one-half. If you go to Ibn Mas'ud, he will tell you the
same." Ibn Mas'ud was asked and was told of Abu Musa's
verdict. Ibn Mas'ud then said, "If I give the same
verdict, I would stray and would not be of the
rightly-guided. The verdict I will give in this case, will
be the same as the Prophet did, i.e. one-half is for
daughter, and one-sixth for the son's daughter, i.e. both
shares make two-thirds of the total property; and the rest
is for the sister." Afterwards we cams to Abu Musa and
informed him of Ibn Mas'ud's verdict, whereupon he said,
"So, do not ask me for verdicts, as long as this learned
man is among you."
Volume 8, Book 80, Number 729:

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:
The person about whom Allah's Apostle said, "If I were
to take a Khalil from this nation (my followers), then I
would have taken him (i.e., Abu Bakr), but the Islamic
Brotherhood is better (or said: good)," regarded a
grandfather as the father himself (in inheritance).
Volume 8, Book 80, Number 731:
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:
(During the early days of Islam), the inheritance used
to be given to one's offspring and legacy used to be
bequeathed to the parents, then Allah cancelled what He
wished from that order and decreed that the male should be
given the equivalent of the portion of two females, and
for the parents one-sixth for each of them, and for one's
wife one-eighth (if the deceased has children) and
one-fourth (if he has no children), for one's husband
one-half (if the deceased has no children) and one-fourth
(if she has children)."
Volume 8, Book 80, Number 732:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Apostle gave the judgment that a male or female
slave should be given in Qisas for an abortion case of a
woman from the tribe of Bani Lihyan (as blood money for
the fetus) but the lady on whom the penalty had been
imposed died, so the Prophets ordered that her property be
inherited by her offspring and her husband and that the
penalty be paid by her Asaba.
Volume 8, Book 80, Number 733:
Narrated Al-Aswad:
Mu'adh bin Jabal gave this verdict for us in the
lifetime of Allah's Apostle. One-half of the inheritance
is to be given to the daughter and the other half to the
sister. Sulaiman said: Mu'adh gave a verdict for us, but
he did not mention that it was so in the lifetime of
Allah's Apostle.

'Abdullah said, "The judgment I will give in this
matter will be like the judgment of the Prophet, i.e.
one-half is for the daughter and one-sixth for the son's
daughter and the rest of the inheritance for the sister."
Volume 8, Book 80, Number 735:
Narrated Jabir:
While I was sick, the Prophet entered upon me and asked
for some water to perform ablution, and after he had
finished his ablution, he sprinkled some water of his
ablution over me, whereupon I became conscious and said,
"O Allah's Apostle! I have sisters." Then the Divine
Verses regarding the laws of inheritance were revealed.
Volume 8, Book 80, Number 736:
Narrated Al-Bara:
The last Quranic Verse that was revealed (to the
Prophet) was the final Verse of Surat-an-Nisa, i.e., 'They
ask you for a legal verdict Say: Allah directs (thus)
About those who leave No descendants or ascendants as
heirs....' (4.176)
Volume 8, Book 80, Number 737:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Apostle said, "I am more closer to the
believers than their ownselves, so whoever (among them)
dies leaving some inheritance, his inheritance will be
given to his 'Asaba, and whoever dies leaving a debt or
dependants or destitute children, then I am their
supporter."
Volume 8, Book 80, Number 738:
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:
The Prophet said, "Give the Fara'id (the shares of the
inheritance that are prescribed in the Qur'an) to those
who are entitled to receive it; and whatever is left
should be given to the closest male relative of the
deceased."
Volume 8, Book 80, Number 739:
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: regarding the Holy Verse:--'And to
everyone, We have appointed heirs.
When the emigrants came to Medina, the Ansar used to be
the heir of the emigrants (and vice versa) instead of
their own kindred by blood (Dhawl-l-arham), and that was
because of the bond of brotherhood which the Prophet had
established between them, i.e. the Ansar and the
emigrants. But when the Divine Verse:--
'And to everyone We have appointed heirs,' (4.33) was
revealed, it cancelled the other, order i.e. 'To those
also, to whom Your right hands have pledged.'
Volume 8, Book 80, Number 740:
Narrated Ibn 'Umar:
A man and his wife had a case of Lian (or Mula'ana)
during the lifetime of the Prophet and the man denied the
paternity of her child. The Prophet gave his verdict for
their separation (divorce) and then the child was regarded
as belonging to the wife only.
Volume 8, Book 80, Number 741:
Narrated 'Aisha:
'Utba (bin Abi Waqqas) said to his brother Sa'd, "The
son of the slave girl of Zam'a is my son, so be his
custodian." So when it was the year of the Conquest of
Mecca, Sa'd took that child and said, "He is my nephew,
and my brother told me to be his custodian." On that, 'Abu
bin Zam'a got up and said, 'but the child is my brother,
and the son of my father's slave girl as he was born on
his bed." So they both went to the Prophet. Sa'd said, "O
Allah's Apostle! (This is) the son of my brother and he
told me to be his custodian." Then 'Abu bin Zam'a said,
"(But he is) my brother and the son of the slave girl of
my father, born on his bed." The Prophet said, "This child
is for you. O 'Abu bin Zam'a, as the child is for the
owner of the bed, and the adulterer receives the stones."
He then ordered (his wife) Sauda bint Zam'a to cover
herself before that boy as he noticed the boy's
resemblance to 'Utba. Since then the boy had never seen
Sauda till he died.
Volume 8, Book 80, Number 742:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, "The boy is for the owner of the
bed."
Volume 8, Book 80, Number 743:
Narrated 'Aisha:
I bought Barira (a female slave). The Prophet said (to
me), "Buy her as the Wala' is for the manumitted." Once
she was given a sheep (in charity). The Prophet said, "It
(the sheep) is a charitable gift for her (Barira) and a
gift for us." Al-Hakam said, "Barira's husband was a free
man." Ibn 'Abbas said, 'When I saw him, he was a slave."
Volume 8, Book 80, Number 744:
Narrated Ibn 'Umar:
The Prophet said, "The Wala' is for the manumitted (of
the slave)."
Volume 8, Book 80, Number 745:
Narrated 'Abdullah:
The Muslims did not free slaves as Sa'iba, but the
People of the Pre-lslamic Period of Ignorance used to do
so.
Volume 8, Book 80, Number 746:
Narrated Al-Aswad:
'Aisha bought Barira in order to manumit her, but her
masters stipulated that her Wala' (after her death) would
be for them. 'Aisha said, "O Allah's Apostle! I have
bought Barira in order to manumit her, but her masters
stipulated that her Wala' will be for them." The Prophet
said, "Manumit her as the Wala is for the one who manumits
(the slave)," or said, "The one who pays her price." Then
'Aisha bought and manumitted her. After that, Barira was
given the choice (by the Prophet) (to stay with her
husband or leave him). She said, "If he gave me so much
and so much (money) I would not stay with him." (Al-Aswad
added: Her husband was a free man.) The sub-narrator
added: The series of the narrators of Al-Aswad's statement
is incomplete. The statement of Ibn Abbas, i.e., when I
saw him he was a slave, is more authentic.
Volume 8, Book 80, Number 747:
Narrated 'Ali:
We have no Book to recite except the Book of Allah
(Qur'an) and this paper. Then 'Ali took out the paper, and
behold ! There was written in it, legal verdicts about the
retaliation for wounds, the ages of the camels (to be paid
as Zakat or as blood money). In it was also written:
'Medina is a sanctuary from Air (mountain) to Thaur
(mountain). So whoever innovates in it an heresy
(something new in religion) or commits a crime in it or
gives shelter to such an innovator, will incur the curse
of Allah, the angels and all the people, and none of his
compulsory or optional good deeds will be accepted on the
Day of Resurrection. And whoever (a freed slave) takes as
his master (i.e. be-friends) some people other than hi
real masters without the permission of his real masters,
will incur the curse of Allah, the angels and all the
people, and none of his compulsory, or optional good deeds
will be accepted on the Day of Resurrection. And the
asylum granted by any Muslim is to be secured by all the
Muslims, even if it is granted by one of the lowest social
status among them; and whoever betrays a Muslim, in this
respect will incur the curse of Allah, the angels, and all
the people, and none of his Compulsory or optional good
deeds will be accepted on the Day of Resurrection."

buy a slave girl in order to manumit her. The slave girl's
master said, "We are ready to sell her to you on the
condition that her Wala should be for us." Aisha mentioned
that to Allah's Apostle who said, "This (condition) should
not prevent you from buying her, for the Wala is for the
one who manumits (the slave)."
Volume 8, Book 80, Number 750:
Narrated Al-Aswad:
Aisha said, "I bought Barira and her masters stipulated
that the Wala would be for them." Aisha mentioned that to
the Prophet and he said, "Manumit her, as the Wala is for
the one who gives the silver (i.e. pays the price for
freeing the slave)." Aisha added, "So I manumitted her.
After that, the Prophet caller her (Barira) and gave her
the choice to go back to her husband or not. She said, "If
he gave me so much and so much (money) I would not stay
with him." So she selected her ownself (i.e. refused to go
back to her husband)."
Volume 8, Book 80, Number 751:
Narrated Ibn Umar:
When Aisha intended to buy Barira, she said to the
Prophet, "Barira's masters stipulated that they will have
the Wala." The Prophet said (to Aisha), "Buy her, as the
Wala is for the one who manumits."

Narrated Aisha:
Allah's Apostle said, "The wala is for the one who
gives the silver (pays the price) and does the favor (of
manumission after paying the price)."

over a boy. Sa'd said, "O Allah's Apostle! This (boy) is
the son of my brother, 'Utba bin Abi Waqqas who told me to
be his custodian as he was his son. Please notice to whom
he bears affinity." And 'Abu bin Zam'a said, "This is my
brother, O Allah's Apostle! He was born on my father's bed
by his slave girl." Then the Prophet looked at the boy and
noticed evident resemblance between him and 'Utba, so he
said, "He (the toy) is for you, O 'Abu bin Zam'a, for the
boy is for the owner of the bed, and the stone is for the
adulterer. Screen yourself before the boy, O Sauda bint
Zam'a." 'Aisha added: Since then he had never seen Sauda.
Volume 8, Book 80, Number 758:
Narrated Sa'd:
I heard the Prophet saying, "Whoever claims to be the
son of a person other than his father, and he knows that

Apostle

there were their two sons. A wolf came and took away the
son of one of them. That lady said to her companion, 'The
wolf has taken your son.' The other said, 'But it has
taken your son.' So both of them sought the judgment of
(the Prophet) David who judged that the boy should be
given to the older lady. Then both of them went to (the
Prophet) Solomon, son of David and informed him of the
case. Solomon said, 'Give me a knife so that I may cut the
child into two portions and give one half to each of you.'
The younger lady said, 'Do not do so; may Allah bless you
! He is her child.' On that, he gave the child to the
younger lady." Abu Huraira added: By Allah! I had never
heard the word 'Sakkin' as meaning knife, except on that
day, for we used to call it 'Mudya"

Narrated 'Aisha:
Allah's Apostle once entered upon me in a very happy
mood, with his features glittering with joy, and said, "O

'These feet (of Usama and his father) belong to each
other." (See Hadith No. 755, Vol. 4)

very happy mood and said, "O 'Aisha: Don't you know that

velvet covering on them and their heads were covered while
their feet were uncovered. He said, 'These feet belong to
each other.'
