34. Inheritance
٣٤۔ كِتَابُ الْفَرَائِضِ
I heard 'Umar b. Khattab delivering sermon on the pulpit ol Messenger of Allah ﷺ and saying': Now, coming to the point, O people, there was revealed (the command pertaining to the prohibition of wine) and it was prepared (at that time) out of five things: grape, date, honey, wheat, barley, and wine is that which clouds the intellect, and, O people, I wish Messenger of Allah ﷺ had explained to us in greater detail three things: the inheritance of the grandfather, of one who dies without leaving any issue, and some of the problems of interest. (Using translation from Muslim 3032b)
سَمِعْتُ عُمَرَ عَلَى مِنْبَرِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ أَمَّا بَعْدُ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّهُ نَزَلَ تَحْرِيمُ الْخَمْرِ وَهِيَ مِنَ الْخَمْسَةِ؛ مِنَ الْعِنَبِ وَالتَّمْرِ وَالْعَسَلِ وَالْحِنْطَةِ وَالشَّعِيرِ وَالْخَمْرُ مَا خَامَرَ الْعَقْلَ وَثَلَاثٌ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ وَدِدْتُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ لَمْ يُفَارِقْنَا حَتَّى يَعْهَدَ إِلَيْنَا فِيهِنَّ عَهْدًا يُنْتَهَى إِلَيْهِ الْكَلَالَةُ وَالْجَدُّ وَأَبْوَابٌ مِنْ أَبْوَابِ الرِّبَا
[Machine] About Umar, in every hundred cases, each one contradicts the other.
عَنْ عُمَرَ فِي الْجَدِّ مِائَةَ قَضِيَّةٍ كُلُّهَا يَنْقُضُ بَعْضُهَا بَعْضًا
[Machine] And he said, "Indeed, I have resolved various cases in seriousness, all of them I did not deviate from the truth in. And if I live, God willing, until summer, I will resolve a case in it that concerns a woman and she is under my guardianship."
وَقَالَ إِنِّي قَدْ قَضَيْتُ فِي الْجَدِّ قَضَايَا مُخْتَلِفَةً كُلُّهَا لَا آلُو فِيهِ عَنِ الْحَقِّ وَلَئِنْ عِشْتُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ إِلَى الصَّيْفِ لَأَقْضِيَنَّ فِيهَا بِقَضِيَّةٍ تَقْضِي بِهِ الْمَرْأَةُ وَهِيَ عَلَى ذَيْلِهَا
أَنْ يُمْضِيَهُ لَأَمْضَاهُ
[Machine] "O Umar, bring me the shoulder where I have written the matter of yesterday's incident." He said, "If Allah wanted to complete this matter, He would have completed it." Abdullah said, "We will suffice you in this matter, O Commander of the Faithful." He said, "No," and then he took it and erased it with his hand."
عُمَرُ ؓ يَا عَبْدَ اللهِ ائْتِنِي بِالْكَتِفِ الَّتِي كَتَبْتُ فِيهَا شَأْنَ الْجَدِّ بِالْأَمْسِ وَقَالَ لَوْ أَرَادَ اللهُ أَنْ يُتِمَّ هَذَا الْأَمْرَ لَأَتَمَّهُ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ نَحْنُ نَكْفِيكَ هَذَا الْأَمْرَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ قَالَ لَا فَأَخَذَهَا فَمَحَاهَا بِيَدِهِ
[Machine] Let him meddle in hellish bacteria, then let him pass judgment between grandparents and siblings.
أَنْ يَتَقَحَّمَ جَرَاثِيمَ جَهَنَّمَ فَلْيَقْضِ بَيْنَ الْجَدِّ وَالْإِخْوَةِ
