٤٢۔ كِتَابُ الطِّبِّ
I fell ill, and I had seven sisters. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to me and blew on my face. So I became conscious. I said: Messenger of Allah, may I not bequeath one-third of my property to my sisters? He replied: Do good. I asked: Half? He replied: Do good. He then went out and left me, and said: I do not think, Jabir, you will die of this disease. Allah has revealed (verses) and described the share of your sisters. He appointed two-thirds for them. Jabir used to say: This verse was revealed about me: "They ask thee for a legal decision. Say: Allah directs (thus) about those who leave no descendants or ascendants as heirs. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2887)
اشْتَكَيْتُ وَعِنْدِي سَبْعُ أَخَوَاتٍ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيَّ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَنَضَحَ فِي وَجْهِي مَاءً فَأَفَقْتُ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أُوصِي لِأَخَوَاتِي بِالثُّلُثَيْنِ قَالَ «أَحْسِنْ» قُلْتُ الشَّطْرُ قَالَ «أَحْسِنْ» ثُمَّ خَرَجَ وَتَرَكَنِي ثُمَّ رَجَعَ فَقَالَ يَا جَابِرُ إِنَّكَ لَا أَرَاكَ مَيِّتًا مِنْ وَجَعِكَ هَذَا وَإِنَّ اللهَ قَدْ أَنْزَلَ فَبَيَّنَ لِأَخَوَاتِكَ فَجَعَلَ لَهُنَّ الثُّلُثَيْنِ قَالَ جَابِرٌ فَنَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ {قُلِ اللهُ يُفْتِيكُمْ فِي الْكَلَالَةِ} [النساء 176]
