Laws of Inheritance (Al-Faraa'id)

Arabic Text

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ، سَمِعَ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ يَقُولُ مَرِضْتُ فَعَادَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ وَهُمَا مَاشِيَانِ، فَأَتَانِي وَقَدْ أُغْمِيَ عَلَىَّ فَتَوَضَّأَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَصَبَّ عَلَىَّ وَضُوءَهُ فَأَفَقْتُ‏.‏ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَيْفَ أَصْنَعُ فِي مَالِي، كَيْفَ أَقْضِي فِي مَالِي فَلَمْ يُجِبْنِي بِشَىْءٍ حَتَّى نَزَلَتْ آيَةُ الْمَوَارِيثِ‏.‏

English Translation

Jabir bin `Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that i became sick so Allah's Messenger ﷺ and Abu Bakr came on foot to pay me a visit. When they came, I was unconscious. Allah's Messenger ﷺ performed ablution and he poured over me the water (of his ablution) and I came to my senses and said, "O Allah's Messenger ﷺ! What shall I do regarding my property? How shall I distribute it?" the Prophet ﷺ did not reply till the Divine Verses of inheritance were revealed
