It was narrated from Usamah bin Zaid that the Prophet (s.a.w) said: "A Muslim does not inherit from a disbeliever and a disbeliever does not inherit from a Muslim."

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى وَأَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِى شَيْبَةَ وَإِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ - وَاللَّفْظُ لِيَحْيَى - قَالَ يَحْيَى أَخْبَرَنَا وَقَالَ الآخَرَانِ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ عَنِ الزُّهْرِىِّ عَنْ عَلِىِّ بْنِ حُسَيْنٍ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ أُسَامَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ أَنَّ النَّبِىَّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- قَالَ « لاَ يَرِثُ الْمُسْلِمُ الْكَافِرَ وَلاَ يَرِثُ الْكَافِرُ الْمُسْلِمَ ».

It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas said: "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'Give the shares of inheritance to those who are entitled to them, and whatever is left, then it is for the closest male relative."'

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الأَعْلَى بْنُ حَمَّادٍ - وَهُوَ النَّرْسِىُّ - حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ عَنِ ابْنِ طَاوُسٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- « أَلْحِقُوا الْفَرَائِضَ بِأَهْلِهَا فَمَا بَقِىَ فَهُوَ لأَوْلَى رَجُلٍ ذَكَرٍ ».

Jabir bin 'Abdullah said: "I fell sick and the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) and Abu Bakr came walking to visit me. I lost consciousness, and the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) performed Wudu' then poured some of the water on me, and I regained consciousness. I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, how should I dispose of my wealth?' He did not give me any answer until the Verse of inheritance was revealed: They ask you for a legal verdict. Say: Allah directs (thus) about Al-Kalalah (those who leave neither descendants nor ascendants as heirs)...".

حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ بُكَيْرٍ النَّاقِدُ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ سَمِعَ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ مَرِضْتُ فَأَتَانِى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ يَعُودَانِى مَاشِيَيْنِ فَأُغْمِىَ عَلَىَّ فَتَوَضَّأَ ثُمَّ صَبَّ عَلَىَّ مِنْ وَضُوئِهِ فَأَفَقْتُ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَيْفَ أَقْضِى فِى مَالِى فَلَمْ يَرُدَّ عَلَىَّ شَيْئًا حَتَّى نَزَلَتْ آيَةُ الْمِيرَاثِ ( يَسْتَفْتُونَكَ قُلِ اللَّهُ يُفْتِيكُمْ فِى الْكَلاَلَةِ)

It was narrated that Jabir bin 'Abdullah said: "The Prophet (s.a.w) and Abu Bakr came walking to visit me in Banu Salamah, and they found me unconscious. He called for water and performed Wudu', then he sprinkled some of it on me, and I regained consciousness. I said: 'What should I do with my wealth, O Messenger of Allah?' And the Verse "Allah commands you as regards your children's (inheritance): To the male, a portion equal to that of two females" was revealed."

حَدَّثَنِى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَاتِمِ بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِى ابْنُ الْمُنْكَدِرِ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ عَادَنِى النَّبِىُّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ فِى بَنِى سَلَمَةَ يَمْشِيَانِ فَوَجَدَنِى لاَ أَعْقِلُ فَدَعَا بِمَاءٍ فَتَوَضَّأَ ثُمَّ رَشَّ عَلَىَّ مِنْهُ فَأَفَقْتُ فَقُلْتُ كَيْفَ أَصْنَعُ فِى مَالِى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَنَزَلَتْ (يُوصِيكُمُ اللَّهُ فِى أَوْلاَدِكُمْ لِلذَّكَرِ مِثْلُ حَظِّ الأُنْثَيَيْنِ)

Jabir bin 'Abdullah said: "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) visited me while· I was sick, and Abu Bakr was with him. (They came) walking and found me unconscious. The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) performed Wudu'. Then he poured some of the water on me, and I regained consciousness, and saw the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) there. I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, what should I do with my wealth?' He did not give me any reply until the Verse of inheritance was revealed."

حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْقَوَارِيرِىُّ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ - يَعْنِى ابْنَ مَهْدِىٍّ - حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ الْمُنْكَدِرِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ عَادَنِى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- وَأَنَا مَرِيضٌ وَمَعَهُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ مَاشِيَيْنِ فَوَجَدَنِى قَدْ أُغْمِىَ عَلَىَّ فَتَوَضَّأَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- ثُمَّ صَبَّ عَلَىَّ مِنْ وَضُوئِهِ فَأَفَقْتُ فَإِذَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَيْفَ أَصْنَعُ فِى مَالِى فَلَمْ يَرُدَّ عَلَىَّ شَيْئًا حَتَّى نَزَلَتْ آيَةُ الْمِيرَاثِ.

Jabir bin 'Abdullah said: "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) entered upon me while I was sick and unconscious. He performed Wudu' and they poured some of the water over me, and I regained consciousness. I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, I have no ascendants or descendents to inherit from me.' Then the Verse of inheritance was revealed." I [Shu'bah (a narrator)] said to Muhammad bin Al-Munkadir: "Was it: 'They ask you for a legal verdict. Say: Allah directs (thus) about Al-Kalalah (those who leave neither descendants nor ascendants as heirs)..."'? He said: "Thus it was revealed.''

حَدَّثَنِى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ أَخْبَرَنِى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُنْكَدِرِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ دَخَلَ عَلَىَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- وَأَنَا مَرِيضٌ لاَ أَعْقِلُ فَتَوَضَّأَ فَصَبُّوا عَلَىَّ مِنْ وَضُوئِهِ فَعَقَلْتُ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّمَا يَرِثُنِى كَلاَلَةٌ. فَنَزَلَتْ آيَةُ الْمِيرَاثِ. فَقُلْتُ لِمُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ (يَسْتَفْتُونَكَ قُلِ اللَّهُ يُفْتِيكُمْ فِى الْكَلاَلَةِ) قَالَ هَكَذَا أُنْزِلَتْ

It was narrated from Shu'bah (a Hadith similar to no. 4148, with a different chain of narrators). In the Hadith of Wahb bin Jarir it says: "The Verse of the shares of inheritance was revealed." In the Hadith of An-Nadr, ir and Al-'Aqadi it says: "The Verse of the share of inheritance." None of their reports mention what Shu'bah said to Ibn Al-Munkadir.

حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ أَخْبَرَنَا النَّضْرُ بْنُ شُمَيْلٍ وَأَبُو عَامِرٍ الْعَقَدِىُّ ح وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى حَدَّثَنَا وَهْبُ بْنُ جَرِيرٍ كُلُّهُمْ عَنْ شُعْبَةَ بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ. فِى حَدِيثِ وَهْبِ بْنِ جَرِيرٍ فَنَزَلَتْ آيَةُ الْفَرَائِضِ. وَفِى حَدِيثِ النَّضْرِ وَالْعَقَدِىِّ فَنَزَلَتْ آيَةُ الْفَرْضِ. وَلَيْسَ فِى رِوَايَةِ أَحَدٍ مِنْهُمْ قَوْلُ شُعْبَةَ لاِبْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ.

It was narrated from Ma'dan bin Abi Talhah that 'Umar bin Al-Khattab delivered a Khutbah one Friday. He mentioned the Prophet of Allah (s.a.w) and he mentioned Abu Bakr. Then he said: "I am not leaving behind me any problem more difficult than that of Kalalah. I did not ask the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) about any matter more than I asked him about Kalalah, and he never appeared to be more annoyed by my asking any question than he did regarding this matter, until he poked me in the chest with his finger and said: 'O 'Umar, is not the Verse that was revealed in summer at the end of Surat An-Nisa' sufficient for you?' If I live I will give a verdict concerning it which would enable those who read the Qur'an and those who do not read it to know about this."

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِى بَكْرٍ الْمُقَدَّمِىُّ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى - وَاللَّفْظُ لاِبْنِ الْمُثَنَّى - قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ أَبِى الْجَعْدِ عَنْ مَعْدَانَ بْنِ أَبِى طَلْحَةَ أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ خَطَبَ يَوْمَ جُمُعَةٍ فَذَكَرَ نَبِىَّ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- وَذَكَرَ أَبَا بَكْرٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنِّى لاَ أَدَعُ بَعْدِى شَيْئًا أَهَمَّ عِنْدِى مِنَ الْكَلاَلَةِ مَا رَاجَعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- فِى شَىْءٍ مَا رَاجَعْتُهُ فِى الْكَلاَلَةِ وَمَا أَغْلَظَ لِى فِى شَىْءٍ مَا أَغْلَظَ لِى فِيهِ حَتَّى طَعَنَ بِإِصْبَعِهِ فِى صَدْرِى وَقَالَ « يَا عُمَرُ أَلاَ تَكْفِيكَ آيَةُ الصَّيْفِ الَّتِى فِى آخِرِ سُورَةِ النِّسَاءِ ». وَإِنِّى إِنْ أَعِشْ أَقْضِ فِيهَا بِقَضِيَّةٍ يَقْضِى بِهَا مَنْ يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ وَمَنْ لاَ يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ.

It was narrated that Al-Bara' said: "The last Verse of the Qur'an to be revealed was: 'They ask you for a legal verdict. Say: Allah directs (thus) about Al-Katalah (those who leave neither descendants nor ascendants as heirs)..."'.

حَدَّثَنَا عَلِىُّ بْنُ خَشْرَمٍ أَخْبَرَنَا وَكِيعٌ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِى خَالِدٍ عَنْ أَبِى إِسْحَاقَ عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ قَالَ آخِرُ آيَةٍ أُنْزِلَتْ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ (يَسْتَفْتُونَكَ قُلِ اللَّهُ يُفْتِيكُمْ فِى الْكَلاَلَةِ)

Al-Bara' bin 'Azib said: "The last Verse to be revealed was the Verse of Kalalah, and the last Surah to be revealed was Bara'ah (i.e., Surat At-Taubah )"

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى وَابْنُ بَشَّارٍ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ أَبِى إِسْحَاقَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الْبَرَاءَ بْنَ عَازِبٍ يَقُولُ آخِرُ آيَةٍ أُنْزِلَتْ آيَةُ الْكَلاَلَةِ وَآخِرُ سُورَةٍ أُنْزِلَتْ بَرَاءَةُ.
