34. Inheritance
٣٤۔ كِتَابُ الْفَرَائِضِ
[Machine] We went out with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ until we came to a woman from the Ansar, who was the grandmother of Kharijah bin Zaid bin Thabit. So she mentioned the story and said, "O Messenger of Allah, these are the daughters of Thabit bin Qais bin Shammas who were killed with you on the Day of Uhud. Their uncle has distributed all their wealth and inheritance, leaving nothing except what he has taken. So what do you think, O Messenger of Allah?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Allah will decide in this matter." Then Surah An-Nisa' (Chapter 4), verse 11 was revealed, where Allah says: "Allah instructs you concerning your children". So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Call the woman and her companion." Then he said to their uncle, "Give them two-thirds (of the inheritance) and give their mother one-eighth. What remains is yours." The phrase "distributed all their wealth and inheritance" means that he had divided their wealth among themselves, taking their rights from the inheritance, and the original meaning of the word "return" is that he should return their rights to them and give them their rightful share of the inheritance. As for the statement "Thabit bin Qais", it is a mistake, it should be "Sa'd bin Ar-Rabi". This was narrated to me by Abu Ali Ar-Ruwdhbari, I am Muhammad bin Bakr, narrated to me Abu Dawud, narrated to me Ibn As-Sarh, narrated to me Ibn Wahb, who told me Dawud bin Qais and others from the people of knowledge, from Abdullah bin Muhammad bin Aqil, from Jabir, that the wife of Sa'd bin Ar-Rabi said, "O Messenger of Allah, Sa'd has died and he has left behind two daughters." He said, "Tell the story." Abu Dawud said, "This is the correct version."
