I fell ill, Messenger of Allah ﷺ and Abu Bakr came to visit me on foot. The Prophet ﷺ came to me while I was unconscious. Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed ablution and poured the Remaining water of his ablution over me whereupon I became conscious and said, 'O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! How should I spend my wealth? Or how should I deal with my wealth?" But the Prophet ﷺ did not give me any reply till the Verse of the laws of inheritance was revealed.
سَمِعْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ مَرِضْتُ فَجَاءَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَعُودُنِي وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ وَهُمَا مَاشِيَانِ فَأَتَانِي وَقَدْ أُغْمِيَ عَلَىَّ فَتَوَضَّأَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ صَبَّ وَضُوءَهُ عَلَىَّ فَأَفَقْتُ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَرُبَّمَا قَالَ سُفْيَانُ فَقُلْتُ أَىْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَيْفَ أَقْضِي فِي مَالِي كَيْفَ أَصْنَعُ فِي مَالِي قَالَ فَمَا أَجَابَنِي بِشَىْءٍ حَتَّى نَزَلَتْ آيَةُ الْمِيرَاثِ
