22.7 Debts Before The Will

٢٢۔٧ باب الدَّيْنُ قَبْلَ الْوَصِيَّةِ

ibnmajah:2715ʿAlī b. Muḥammad > Wakīʿ > Sufyān > Abū Isḥāq > al-Ḥārith > ʿAlī

“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ ruled that the debts should be paid off before the execution of the will. You recite: '(The distribution in all cases is) after the payment of legacies he may have bequeathed or debts.' The sons of one mother (from the same father) inherit from one another, but not the sons from different mothers (but the same father).”  

ابن ماجة:٢٧١٥حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنِ الْحَارِثِ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ

قَضَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِالدَّيْنِ قَبْلَ الْوَصِيَّةِ وَأَنْتُمْ تَقْرَءُونَهَا {مِنْ بَعْدِ وَصِيَّةٍ يُوصِي بِهَا أَوْ دَيْنٍ } وَإِنَّ أَعْيَانَ بَنِي الأُمِّ لَيَتَوَارَثُونَ دُونَ بَنِي الْعَلاَّتِ
