When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ died, the wives of the Prophet ﷺ intended to send 'Uthman b. 'Affan to Abu Bakr to ask him their cost of living from (the inheritance of) the Prophet ﷺ. Thereupon 'Aishah said: Did not the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: We are not inherited. Whatever we leave is sadaqah.
أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ إِنَّ أَزْوَاجَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ حِينَ تُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَرَدْنَ أَنْ يَبْعَثْنَ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ إِلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقِ فَيَسْأَلْنَهُ ثُمُنَهُنَّ مِنَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ لَهُنَّ عَائِشَةُ أَلَيْسَ قَدْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لاَ نُورَثُ مَا تَرَكْنَا فَهُوَ صَدَقَةٌ
