Sunan Ibn Majah 2728
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.’” [4:176]
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 ‏.‏
