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
