ahmad:14186[Chain 1] Muḥammad b. Jaʿfar > Shuʿbah [Chain 2] Shuʿbah > Muḥammad b. al-Munkadir > Jābir b. ʿAbdullāh

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered upon me while I was ill and not in my senses. He said to me, "Perform ablution and then pour water on you." So, I performed ablution and poured water on myself, and then I regained my senses. I said, "Indeed, I have no heir except for an inheritance called Kalalah, so how will the inheritance be?" He said, "Then the verse of obligatory share was revealed."  

أحمد:١٤١٨٦حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ح وَحَجَّاجٌ أَخْبَرَنَا شُعْبَةُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ الْمُنْكَدِرِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ

دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَنَا وَجِعٌ لَا أَعْقِلُ قَالَ فَتَوَضَّأَ ثُمَّ صَبَّ عَلَيَّ أَوْ قَالَ صَبُّوا عَلَيَّ فَعَقَلْتُ فَقُلْتُ إِنَّهُ لَا يَرِثُنِي إِلَّا كَلَالَةٌ فَكَيْفَ الْمِيرَاثُ؟ قَالَ فَنَزَلَتْ آيَةُ الْفَرْضِ
