35. Wills and Testimony
٣٥۔ كِتَابُ الْوَصَايَا
[Machine] Abu Talhah said, "O Messenger of Allah, I see that our Lord asks us for our wealth. I bear witness that I have given my land in Ar-Riha to Allah.” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “Place it in your kinship.” So Abu Talhah divided it between Hassan ibn Thabit and Ubbay ibn Ka'b." Abu Dawud reported from Anas ibn Malik said, "Abu Talhah was Zaid ibn Sahl ibn Al-Aswad ibn Haram ibn 'Amr ibn Zaid ibn Manat ibn 'Adi ibn 'Amr ibn Malik ibn An-Najjar, and Hassan ibn Thabit was the third father of his mother, and Ubbay ibn Ka'b was 'Ubaydullah ibn Zaid ibn Mu'awiya ibn 'Amr ibn Malik ibn An-Najjar. 'Amr used to bring Hassan, Abu Talhah, and Ubbay together." Al-Ansari said, "Between Ubbay and Abu Talhah there were six fathers." This is narrated from Hammad, from Thabit.
أَبُو طَلْحَةَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَرَى رَبَّنَا يَسْأَلُنَا مِنْ أَمْوَالِنَا؛ فَإِنِّي أُشْهِدُكَ أَنِّي قَدْ جَعَلْتُ أَرْضِي بِأَرِيحَا لِلَّهِ ﷻ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ اجْعَلْهَا فِي قَرَابَتِكَ فَقَسَمَهَا بَيْنَ حَسَّانَ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ وَأُبِيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ وَبَلَغَنِي عَنِ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ زَيْدُ بْنُ سَهْلِ بْنِ الْأَسْوَدِ بْنِ حَرَامِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ زَيْدِ مَنَاةَ بْنِ عَدِيِّ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ مَالِكِ بْنِ النَّجَّارِ وَحَسَّانُ بْنُ ثَابِتِ بْنِ الْمُنْذِرِ بْنِ حَرَامٍ يَجْتَمِعَانِ إِلَى حَرَامٍ وَهُوَ الْأَبُ الثَّالِثُ وَأُبِيُّ بْنُ كَعْبِ بْنِ قَيْسِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ زَيْدِ بْنِ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ مَالِكِ بْنِ النَّجَّارِ فَعَمْرٌو يَجْمَعُ حَسَّانَ وَأَبَا طَلْحَةَ وَأُبَيًّا قَالَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ بَيْنَ أُبَيٍّ وَأَبِي طَلْحَةَ سِتَّةُ آبَاءٍ حَدِيثُ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ
[Machine] When this verse was revealed, "You will not attain righteousness until you spend from what you love" [Al-Imran 92] and "Who is it that would loan Allah a goodly loan" [Al-Baqarah 245], Abu Talha said, "O Messenger of Allah, my garden is here and there, it is for Allah, and if I wanted, I could keep it a secret." The Prophet said, "Make it for your poor relatives." He said, "So he made it for Hassan bin Thabit and Ubayy bin Ka'b."
لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ {لَنْ تَنَالُوا الْبِرَّ حَتَّى تُنْفِقُوا مِمَّا تُحِبُّونَ} [آل عمران 92] وَ {مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يُقْرِضُ اللهَ قَرْضًا حَسَنًا} [البقرة 245] قَالَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ حَائِطِي بِكَذَا وَكَذَا هُوَ لِلَّهِ ﷻ وَلَوِ اسْتَطَعْتُ أَنْ أُسِرَّهُ لَمْ أُعْلِنْهُ قَالَ اجْعَلْهُ فِي فُقَرَاءِ أَهْلِكَ قَالَ فَجَعَلَهُ فِي حَسَّانَ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ وَأُبِيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ
When Allah revealed the Verse: "Warn your nearest kinsmen," Messenger of Allah ﷺ got up and said, "O people of Quraish (or said similar words)! Buy (i.e. save) yourselves (from the Hellfire) as I cannot save you from Allah's Punishment; O Bani ʿAbd Manaf! I cannot save you from Allah's Punishment, O Safiya, the Aunt of Messenger of Allah ﷺ! I cannot save you from Allah's Punishment; O Fatima bint Muhammad! Ask me anything from my wealth, but I cannot save you from Allah's Punishment." (Using translation from Bukhārī 2753)
قَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حِينَ أَنْزَلَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ {وَأَنْذِرْ عَشِيرَتَكَ الْأَقْرَبِينَ} [الشعراء 214] قَالَ يَا مَعْشَرَ قُرَيْشٍ اشْتَرُوا أَنْفُسَكُمْ مِنَ اللهِ؛ لَا أُغْنِي عَنْكُمْ مِنَ اللهِ شَيْئًا يَا بَنِي عَبْدِ مَنَافٍ لَا أُغْنِي عَنْكُمْ مِنَ اللهِ شَيْئًا يَا عَبَّاسُ بْنَ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ لَا أُغْنِي عَنْكَ مِنَ اللهِ شَيْئًا يَا صَفِيَّةُ عَمَّةَ رَسُولِ اللهِ لَا أُغْنِي عَنْكِ مِنَ اللهِ شَيْئًا يَا فَاطِمَةُ بِنْتَ مُحَمَّدٍ سَلِينِي مَا شِئْتِ لَا أُغْنِي عَنْكِ مِنَ اللهِ شَيْئًا
[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "O Fatimah, daughter of Muhammad, and O Safiyyah, daughter of Abd al-Muttalib, and O children of Abd al-Muttalib, I possess nothing from Allah for you. Ask me from my wealth whatever you wish."
قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَا فَاطِمَةُ بِنْتَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَيَا صَفِيَّةُ بِنْتَ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ وَيَا بَنِي عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ لَا أَمْلِكُ لَكُمْ مِنَ اللهِ شَيْئًا سَلُونِي مِنْ مَالِي مَا شِئْتُمْ
