Chapters on Shares of Inheritance

Sahih (authentic)by Al-Albani

حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ، سَمِعَ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، يَقُولُ مَرِضْتُ فَأَتَانِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَعُودُنِي هُوَ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ مَعَهُ وَهُمَا مَاشِيَانِ وَقَدْ أُغْمِيَ عَلَىَّ فَتَوَضَّأَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَصَبَّ عَلَىَّ مِنْ وَضُوئِهِ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَيْفَ أَصْنَعُ كَيْفَ أَقْضِي فِي مَالِي حَتَّى نَزَلَتْ آيَةُ الْمِيرَاثِ فِي آخِرِ النِّسَاءِ ‏{وَإِنْ كَانَ رَجُلٌ يُورَثُ كَلاَلَةً‏}‏ الآيَةَ وَ ‏{يَسْتَفْتُونَكَ قُلِ اللَّهُ يُفْتِيكُمْ فِي الْكَلاَلَةِ}‏ الآيَةَ ‏.‏

It was narrated from Muhammad bin Munkadir that he heard Jabir bin ‘Abdullah say:“I fell sick and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came to visit me, he and Abu Bakr with him, and they came walking. I had lost consciousness, so the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) performed ablution and poured some of the water of his ablution over me. I said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, what should I do? How should I decide about my wealth?’ Until the Verse of inheritance was revealed at the end of An-Nisa’: “If the man or woman whose inheritance is in question has left neither ascendants or descendents.” [4:12] And: “They ask you for a legal verdict. Say: ‘Allah directs (thus) about those who leave neither descendants nor ascendants as heirs.’” [4:]

Rapporté par Muhammad bin Munkadir, d’après ce qu’il a entendu de Jabir bin ‘Abdullah : “Je suis tombé malade et le Messager d’Allah (ﷺ) est venu me rendre visite, avec Abu Bakr. Ils sont venus à pied. J’avais perdu connaissance, alors le Messager d’Allah (ﷺ) a fait ses ablutions et a versé un peu de l’eau de ses ablutions sur moi. J’ai dit : ‘Ô Messager d’Allah, que dois-je faire ? Comment dois-je décider pour mes biens ?’ Jusqu’à ce que le verset sur l’héritage soit révélé à la fin de la sourate An-Nisa’ : ‘S’il n’y a ni ascendants ni descendants…’ [4:12] Et : ‘Ils te demandent un avis légal. Dis : Allah vous donne un avis au sujet de ceux qui n’ont ni descendants ni ascendants comme héritiers.’”
