it was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: "When a man dies, all his good deeds come to an end except three: Ongoing charity, beneficial knowledge, or a righteous son who will pray for him."

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ وَقُتَيْبَةُ - يَعْنِى ابْنَ سَعِيدٍ - وَابْنُ حُجْرٍ قَالُوا حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ - هُوَ ابْنُ جَعْفَرٍ - عَنِ الْعَلاَءِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِى هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- قَالَ « إِذَا مَاتَ الإِنْسَانُ انْقَطَعَ عَنْهُ عَمَلُهُ إِلاَّ مِنْ ثَلاَثَةٍ إِلاَّ مِنْ صَدَقَةٍ جَارِيَةٍ أَوْ عِلْمٍ يُنْتَفَعُ بِهِ أَوْ وَلَدٍ صَالِحٍ يَدْعُو لَهُ ».

It was narrated that Ibn 'Umar said: "'Umar was given a share of land in Khaibar, and he came to the Prophet (s.a.w) to consult him about it. He said: 'O Messenger of Allah, I have been given a share of land at Khaibar and I have never been given any wealth that is more precious to me than it. What do you command me to do with it?' He said: "If you wish, you can 'freeze' it and give it in charity." So 'Umar gave it in charity and stipulated that it was not to be sold, given as a gift or inherited, and he gave it in charity to the poor, relatives and slaves, for the cause of Allah and for wayfarers and guests; and there was no sin on the one appointed to look after it if he ate from it on a reasonable basis, and fed a friend without storing anything for the future." He said: "I narrated this Hadith to Muhammad, when I reached the words "without storing anything for the future," Muhammad said: Without storing it with a view to becoming rich. Ibn 'Awn said: "The one who read this book, he told me, that in it are the words: 'Without storing it with a view to becoming rich."'

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى التَّمِيمِىُّ أَخْبَرَنَا سُلَيْمُ بْنُ أَخْضَرَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَوْنٍ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ أَصَابَ عُمَرُ أَرْضًا بِخَيْبَرَ فَأَتَى النَّبِىَّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- يَسْتَأْمِرُهُ فِيهَا فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّى أَصَبْتُ أَرْضًا بِخَيْبَرَ لَمْ أُصِبْ مَالاً قَطُّ هُوَ أَنْفَسُ عِنْدِى مِنْهُ فَمَا تَأْمُرُنِى بِهِ قَالَ « إِنْ شِئْتَ حَبَسْتَ أَصْلَهَا وَتَصَدَّقْتَ بِهَا ». قَالَ فَتَصَدَّقَ بِهَا عُمَرُ أَنَّهُ لاَ يُبَاعُ أَصْلُهَا وَلاَ يُبْتَاعُ وَلاَ يُورَثُ وَلاَ يُوهَبُ. قَالَ فَتَصَدَّقَ عُمَرُ فِى الْفُقَرَاءِ وَفِى الْقُرْبَى وَفِى الرِّقَابِ وَفِى سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَابْنِ السَّبِيلِ وَالضَّيْفِ لاَ جُنَاحَ عَلَى مَنْ وَلِيَهَا أَنْ يَأْكُلَ مِنْهَا بِالْمَعْرُوفِ أَوْ يُطْعِمَ صَدِيقًا غَيْرَ مُتَمَوِّلٍ فِيهِ. قَالَ فَحَدَّثْتُ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ مُحَمَّدًا فَلَمَّا بَلَغْتُ هَذَا الْمَكَانَ غَيْرَ مُتَمَوِّلٍ فِيهِ. قَالَ مُحَمَّدٌ غَيْرَ مُتَأَثِّلٍ مَالاً. قَالَ ابْنُ عَوْنٍ وَأَنْبَأَنِى مَنْ قَرَأَ هَذَا الْكِتَابَ أَنَّ فِيهِ غَيْرَ مُتَأَثِّلٍ مَالاً.

A similar report (as no. 4224) was narrated from Ibn 'Awn with this chain, except that in the Hadith of Ibn Abi Za'idah and Azhar it ends at the words: "And feed a friend without storing anything for the future." And he did not mention what comes after that. The Hadith of Ibn Abi 'Adiyy includes what is mentioned by Sulaim: "I narrated this Hadith to Muhammad..."

حَدَّثَنَاهُ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِى شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِى زَائِدَةَ ح وَحَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ أَخْبَرَنَا أَزْهَرُ السَّمَّانُ ح وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِى عَدِىٍّ كُلُّهُمْ عَنِ ابْنِ عَوْنٍ بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ. مِثْلَهُ غَيْرَ أَنَّ حَدِيثَ ابْنِ أَبِى زَائِدَةَ وَأَزْهَرَ انْتَهَى عِنْدَ قَوْلِهِ « أَوْ يُطْعِمَ صَدِيقًا غَيْرَ مُتَمَوِّلٍ فِيهِ ». وَلَمْ يُذْكَرْ مَا بَعْدَهُ. وَحَدِيثُ ابْنِ أَبِى عَدِىٍّ فِيهِ مَا ذَكَرَ سُلَيْمٌ قَوْلُهُ فَحَدَّثْتُ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ مُحَمَّدًا. إِلَى آخِرِهِ.

It was narrated from Ibn 'Umar that 'Umar said: "I was given a share of the land of Khaibar, and I came to the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) and said: 'I have been given a share of the land of Khaibar, and I have never acquired any wealth that is dearer to me or more precious than that ..."' and he quoted a similar Hadith (as no. 4224), but he did not mention (the words): "I narrated it to Muhammad," and what comes after that.

وَحَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ الْحَفَرِىُّ عُمَرُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَوْنٍ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ عَنْ عُمَرَ قَالَ أَصَبْتُ أَرْضًا مِنْ أَرْضِ خَيْبَرَ فَأَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- فَقُلْتُ أَصَبْتُ أَرْضًا لَمْ أُصِبْ مَالاً أَحَبَّ إِلَىَّ وَلاَ أَنْفَسَ عِنْدِى مِنْهَا. وَسَاقَ الْحَدِيثَ بِمِثْلِ حَدِيثِهِمْ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ فَحَدَّثْتُ مُحَمَّدًا وَمَا بَعْدَهُ.

It was narrated that Talhah bin Musarrif said: "I asked 'Abdullah bin Abi Awfa: 'Did the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) leave a will?' He said: 'No.' I said: 'Why is making a will prescribed for the Muslims, or why are they commanded to make wills?' He said: 'His final guidance was adherence to the Book of Allah."'

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى التَّمِيمِىُّ أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِىٍّ عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ مِغْوَلٍ عَنْ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ مُصَرِّفٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ أَبِى أَوْفَى هَلْ أَوْصَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- فَقَالَ لاَ. قُلْتُ فَلِمَ كُتِبَ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ الْوَصِيَّةُ أَوْ فَلِمَ أُمِرُوا بِالْوَصِيَّةِ قَالَ أَوْصَى بِكِتَابِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ.

A similar report was narrated from Malik bin Maghwal (as no. 4227), except that in the Hadith of Waki' it says: "I said: 'How come the people were commanded to make wills?"' In the Hadith of Ibn Numair it says: "How come it is prescribed for the Muslims to make wills?"

حَدَّثَنَاهُ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِى شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ ح وَحَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِى كِلاَهُمَا عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ مِغْوَلٍ بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ. مِثْلَهُ غَيْرَ أَنَّ فِى حَدِيثِ وَكِيعٍ قُلْتُ فَكَيْفَ أُمِرَ النَّاسُ بِالْوَصِيَّةِ وَفِى حَدِيثِ ابْنِ نُمَيْرٍ قُلْتُ كَيْفَ كُتِبَ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ الْوَصِيَّةُ

It was narrated that 'Aishah said: "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) did not leave behind a Dinar, a Dirham, a sheep nor a camel, and he did not bequeath anything."

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِى شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ نُمَيْرٍ وَأَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ ح وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِى وَأَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا الأَعْمَشُ عَنْ أَبِى وَائِلٍ عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ مَا تَرَكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- دِينَارًا وَلاَ دِرْهَمًا وَلاَ شَاةً وَلاَ بَعِيرًا وَلاَ أَوْصَى بِشَىْءٍ.

It was narrated that Al-Aswad bin Yazid said: "They said in the presence of 'Aishah that 'Ali was bequeathed something by the Prophet (s.a.w). She said: 'When did he make a will for him? He was leaning on my chest' - or she said: 'in my lap - and he called for a bowl, then he fell into my lap and I did not realize that he had died. So when did he make a will for him?"'

وَحَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى وَأَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِى شَيْبَةَ - وَاللَّفْظُ لِيَحْيَى - قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَوْنٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنِ الأَسْوَدِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ قَالَ ذَكَرُوا عِنْدَ عَائِشَةَ أَنَّ عَلِيًّا كَانَ وَصِيًّا فَقَالَتْ مَتَى أَوْصَى إِلَيْهِ فَقَدْ كُنْتُ مُسْنِدَتَهُ إِلَى صَدْرِى - أَوْ قَالَتْ حَجْرِى - فَدَعَا بِالطَّسْتِ فَلَقَدِ انْخَنَثَ فِى حَجْرِى وَمَا شَعَرْتُ أَنَّهُ مَاتَ فَمَتَى أَوْصَى إِلَيْهِ؟

It was narrated that Sa'eed bin Jubair said: "Ibn 'Abbas said: 'Thursday and what a Thursday!' Then he wept until his tears wet the pebbles. I said: 'O Abu 'Abbas, what about Thursday?' He said: 'The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) took a tum for the worse, and he said: "Come to me and I will dictate for you a document, so you will not go astray after I am gone." But they argued (about that), and it is not appropriate to argue in the presence of a Prophet. They said: "What is the matter with him? Is he delirious? Try to find out what he means."He said: "Let me be. The state in which I am now is better. I urge you to do three things: Expel the idolators from the Arabian Peninsula, and reward the delegations as I used to do." Then he remained silent about the third, or he said it, and I was caused to forget it."' Abu Ishaq [Ibrahim] said: "Al-Hasan bin Bishr told us, Sufyan told us..." this Hadith.

حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ وَقُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ وَأَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِى شَيْبَةَ وَعَمْرٌو النَّاقِدُ - وَاللَّفْظُ لِسَعِيدٍ - قَالُوا حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ الأَحْوَلِ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ قَالَ قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ يَوْمُ الْخَمِيسِ وَمَا يَوْمُ الْخَمِيسِ ثُمَّ بَكَى حَتَّى بَلَّ دَمْعُهُ الْحَصَى. فَقُلْتُ يَا ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ وَمَا يَوْمُ الْخَمِيسِ قَالَ اشْتَدَّ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- وَجَعُهُ. فَقَالَ « ائْتُونِى أَكْتُبْ لَكُمْ كِتَابًا لاَ تَضِلُّوا بَعْدِى ». فَتَنَازَعُوا وَمَا يَنْبَغِى عِنْدَ نَبِىٍّ تَنَازُعٌ. وَقَالُوا مَا شَأْنُهُ أَهَجَرَ اسْتَفْهِمُوهُ. قَالَ « دَعُونِى فَالَّذِى أَنَا فِيهِ خَيْرٌ أُوصِيكُمْ بِثَلاَثٍ أَخْرِجُوا الْمُشْرِكِينَ مِنْ جَزِيرَةِ الْعَرَبِ وَأَجِيزُوا الْوَفْدَ بِنَحْوِ مَا كُنْتُ أُجِيزُهُمْ ». قَالَ وَسَكَتَ عَنِ الثَّالِثَةِ أَوْ قَالَهَا فَأُنْسِيتُهَا.قَالَ أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ بِشْرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ.

It was narrated from Sa'd bin Jubair that Ibn 'Abbas said: "Thursday and what a Thursday!" Then his tears started to flow until I saw what looked like strings of pearls on his cheeks. He said: "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'Bring me a shoulder blade and an inkpot' - or 'a tablet and an inkpot' - and I will dictate for you a document after which you will never go astray.' They said: 'The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) is in a state of delirium.'"

حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ أَخْبَرَنَا وَكِيعٌ عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ مِغْوَلٍ عَنْ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ مُصَرِّفٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّهُ قَالَ يَوْمُ الْخَمِيسِ وَمَا يَوْمُ الْخَمِيسِ. ثُمَّ جَعَلَ تَسِيلُ دُمُوعُهُ حَتَّى رَأَيْتُ عَلَى خَدَّيْهِ كَأَنَّهَا نِظَامُ اللُّؤْلُؤِ. قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- « ائْتُونِى بِالْكَتِفِ وَالدَّوَاةِ - أَوِ اللَّوْحِ وَالدَّوَاةِ - أَكْتُبْ لَكُمْ كِتَابًا لَنْ تَضِلُّوا بَعْدَهُ أَبَدًا ». فَقَالُوا إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- يَهْجُرُ.
