[Machine] Jabir ibn Abdullah narrated: "The Prophet ﷺ came to visit me while I was sick and unaware of my surroundings. He performed ablution (wudu) and poured the water from his wudu onto me." I regained my consciousness and asked, "O Messenger of Allah, who will inherit from me?" The only relatives I have are my maternal uncles, and then the verse of inheritance was revealed."  

ابن حبّان:١٢٦٦أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو خَلِيفَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ

عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ «جَاءَنِي النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَعُودُنِي وَأَنَا مَرِيضٌ لَا أَعْقِلُ فَتَوَضَّأَ وَصَبَّ مِنْ وَضُوئِهِ عَلَيَّ» فَعَقَلْتُ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لِمَنِ الْمِيرَاثُ؟ فَإِنَّمَا يَرِثُنِي كَلَالَةً فَنَزَلَتْ آيَةُ الْفَرَائِضِ

Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to visit me while I was sick and unconscious. He performed ablution and sprinkled the remaining water on me and I became conscious and said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ!

Whilo I was ill Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to me and found me unconscious. He (the Holy Prophet) performed ablution, and sprinkled over me the water of his ablution. I regained my consciousness and said: Messenger of Allah, my case of inheritance is that of Kalala. Then the verse pertaining to the inheritance ( of Kalala) was revealed. I (one of the narrators) said: I said to Muhammad b. Munkadir: (Do you mean this verse)" They ask you; say: Allah gives you decision in regard to Kalala" (iv. 177)? He said: Yes, it was thus revealed.
