34. Inheritance
٣٤۔ كِتَابُ الْفَرَائِضِ
[Machine] That Abdullah ibn Awf migrated to the Prophet ﷺ and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ established brotherhood between him and Saad ibn Rabi'i.
أَنَّ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ عَوْفٍ هَاجَرَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَآخَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ سَعْدِ بْنِ الرَّبِيعِ
[Machine] That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ established a brotherhood between Abu Ubaidah ibn al-Jarrah and Abu Talhah.
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ آخَى بَيْنَ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ بْنِ الْجَرَّاحِ وَبَيْنَ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ
[Machine] That the Prophet ﷺ had a close relationship between Zubair and Abdullah bin Masood.
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ آخَى بَيْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ وَبَيْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ
[Machine] "That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'There is no oath in Islam?' So Anas said, 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ swore an oath between the Quraysh and the Ansar in his house, meaning the house of Anas in Madinah.'"
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَا حِلْفَ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ ؟ فَقَالَ أَنَسٌ قَدْ حَالَفَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بَيْنَ قُرَيْشٍ وَالْأَنْصَارِ فِي دَارِهِ يَعْنِي دَارَ أَنَسٍ بِالْمَدِينَةِ
[Machine] The Prophet of Allah ﷺ said that there is no swearing in Islam, and any oath taken during the pre-Islamic era only adds severity to Islam.
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَا حِلْفَ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ وَأَيُّمَا حِلْفٍ كَانَ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَإِنَّ الْإِسْلَامَ لَمْ يَزِدْهُ إِلَّا شِدَّةً كَذَا
[Machine] In His statement {And those who have established their oaths, give them their share} [An-Nisa 33], it is said that when the immigrants arrived in Madinah, the Ansar bequeathed their inheritance to the Muslims beyond their own relatives due to the brotherhood that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had established among them. Then, when the verse {And for all, We have made heirs to what the parents and close relatives leave behind} [An-Nisa 33] was revealed, it was abrogated by the verse {And those who have established their oaths, give them their share} [An-Nisa 33] regarding victory, advice, and support. 12526 Abu Ali Al-Ruzbary informed us that Muhammad ibn Bakr informed us that Abu Dawud informed us that Harun ibn Abdullah informed us that Abu Usamah mentioned it in a similar manner, adding inheritance, support, and assistance.
فِي قَوْلِهِ ﷻ {وَالَّذِينَ عَقَدَتْ أَيْمَانُكُمْ فَآتُوهُمْ نَصِيبَهُمْ} [النساء 33] قَالَ كَانَ الْمُهَاجِرُونَ حِينَ قَدِمُوا الْمَدِينَةَ تُوَرَّثُ الْأَنْصَارَ دُونَ ذَوِي رَحِمِهِمْ لِلْأُخُوَّةِ الَّتِي آخَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بَيْنَهُمْ فَلَمَّا نَزَلَتْ {وَلِكُلٍّ جَعَلْنَا مَوَالِيَ مِمَّا تَرَكَ الْوَالِدَانِ وَالْأَقْرَبُونَ} [النساء 33] قَالَ فَنَسَخَتْهَا قَالَ {وَالَّذِينَ عَقَدَتْ أَيْمَانُكُمْ فَآتُوهُمْ نَصِيبَهُمْ} [النساء 33] مِنَ النَّصْرِ وَالنَّصِيحَةِ 12526 أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ أنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ ثنا هَارُونُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ ثنا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ فَذَكَرَهُ بِنَحْوِهِ زَادَ مِنَ النَّصْرِ وَالنَّصِيحَةِ وَالرِّفَادَةِ وَيُوصِي لَهُ وَقَدْ ذَهَبَ الْمِيرَاثُ
To those also, to whom your right hand was pledged, give their due portion. A man made an agreement with another man (in early days of Islam), and there was no relationship between the ; one of them inherited from the other. The following verse of Surat Al-Anfal abrogated it: "But kindred by blood have prior right against each other." (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2921)
{وَالَّذِينَ عَقَدَتَ أَيْمَانُكُمْ فَآتُوهُمْ نَصِيبَهُمْ} [النساء 33] كَانَ الرَّجُلُ يُحَالِفُ الرَّجُلَ لَيْسَ بَيْنَهُمَا نَسَبٌ فَيَرِثُ أَحَدُهُمَا الْآخَرُ فَنَسَخَ ذَلِكَ الْأَنْفَالُ فَقَالَ {وَأُولُو الْأَرْحَامِ بَعْضُهُمْ أَوْلَى بِبَعْضٍ} [الأحزاب 6]
[Machine] Narrated by Ibn Abbas: "And those who believed and emigrated" [Quran 8:74] "And those who believed and did not emigrate" [Quran 8:72], so the Arab would not inherit the Muhajir, nor would the Muhajir inherit him. And this was abrogated by "And blood relations among each other are more entitled to inheritance in the decree" [Quran 33:6].
عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ {وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَهَاجَرُوا} [الأنفال 74] {وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَلَمْ يُهَاجِرُوا} [الأنفال 72] فَكَانَ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ لَا يَرِثُ الْمُهَاجِرِيَّ وَلَا يَرِثُهُ الْمُهَاجِرُ فَنَسَخَتْهَا {وَأُولُو الْأَرْحَامِ بَعْضُهُمْ أَوْلَى بِبَعْضٍ } [الأحزاب 6]
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ fostered brotherhood among his companions and they inherited from one another until this verse was revealed: "The relatives are more entitled to inheritance in the decree of Allah." [Al-Ahzab: 6] So they abandoned that and started inheriting based on blood relationships.
آخَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بَيْنَ أَصْحَابِهِ وَوَرَّثَ بَعْضَهُمْ مِنْ بَعْضٍ حَتَّى نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ {وَأُولُو الْأَرْحَامِ بَعْضُهُمْ أَوْلَى بِبَعْضٍ} [الأحزاب 6] فَتَرَكُوا ذَلِكَ وَتَوَارَثُوا بِالنَّسَبِ
It was narrated from 'Aishah that Abu Hudhaifah bin 'Utbah bin Rabi'ah bin 'Abd Shams --who was one of those who had been present at Badr with the Messenger of Allah-- adopted Salim and married him to his brother's daughter, Hind bint Al-Walid bin 'Utbah bin Rabi'ah bin 'Abd Shams, and he was a freed slave of an Ansari woman --as the Messenger of Allah had adopted Zaid. During the Jahiliyyah, if a man adopted someone, the people would call him his son, and he would inherit from his legacy, until Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, revealed about that: 'Call them by (the names of) their fathers, that is more just with Allah. But if you know not their fathers' (names, call them) your brothers in Faith and Mawalikum (your freed slaves)." Then if a person's father's name was not known, he would be their freed slave and brother in faith. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3223)
أَنَّ أَبَا حُذَيْفَةَ بْنَ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ شَمْسٍ وَكَانَ مِمَّنْ شَهِدَ بَدْرًا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ تَبَنَّى سَالِمًا وَزَوَّجَهُ ابْنَةَ أَخِيهِ هِنْدَ بِنْتَ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ وَهُوَ مَوْلًى لِامْرَأَةٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ كَمَا تَبَنَّى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ زَيْدًا وَكَانَ مَنْ تَبَنَّى رَجُلًا فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ دَعَاهُ النَّاسُ ابْنَهُ وَوَرِثَ مِنْ مِيرَاثِهِ حَتَّى أَنْزَلَ اللهُ ﷻ فِي ذَلِكَ {ادْعُوهُمْ لِآبَائِهِمْ هُوَ أَقْسَطُ عِنْدَ اللهِ فَإِنْ لَمْ تَعْلَمُوا آبَاءَهُمْ فَإِخْوَانُكُمْ فِي الدِّينِ وَمَوَالِيكُمْ} [الأحزاب 5] فَرُدُّوا إِلَى آبَائِهِمْ فَمَنْ لَمْ يُعْلَمْ لَهُ أَبٌ كَانَ مَوْلًى وَأَخًا
[Machine] To give them portion in the will and Allah has returned the inheritance to them in the slaves, relatives, and the family, and He refused to give any share of inheritance to those who claimed and adopted them, but He gave them a portion in the will, so what they agreed upon in the inheritance that Allah has returned to us, their matter was done.
أَنْ يَجْعَلَ لَهُمْ نَصِيبًا فِي الْوَصِيَّةِ وَرَدَّ اللهُ الْمِيرَاثَ فِي الْمَوَالِي وَفِي الرَّحِمِ وَالْعَصَبَةِ وَأَبَى أَنْ يَجْعَلَ لِلْمُدَّعِينَ مِيرَاثًا مِمَّنِ ادَّعَاهُمْ وَتَبَنَّاهُمْ وَلَكِنْ جَعَلَ لَهُمْ نَصِيبًا فِي الْوَصِيَّةِ فَكَانَ مَا تَعَاقَدُوا عَلَيْهِ فِي الْمِيرَاثِ الَّذِي رَدَّ اللهُ عَلَيْنَا فِيهِ أَمْرَهُمْ
[Machine] In His saying, "And what is recited to you in the Book concerning orphan women" [An-Nisa 127], in the beginning of this Surah about inheritance, He said: They used to not give inheritance to a minor until he reaches puberty.
فِي قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى {وَمَا يُتْلَى عَلَيْكُمْ فِي الْكِتَابِ فِي يَتَامَى النِّسَاءِ} [النساء 127] فِي أَوَّلِ هَذِهِ السُّورَةِ مِنَ الْمَوَارِيثِ قَالَ كَانُوا لَا يُوَرِّثُونَ صَبِيًّا حَتَّى يَحْتَلِمَ
