Sahih Muslim Hadith 4150 – Inheritance Of The

English

[4150] 9 – (1617) It was narrated from Ma'dân bin AbI Talbah that 'Umar bin Al- Khattâb delivered a Khutbah one Friday. He mentioned the Prophet of Allah and he mentioned Abü Bakr. Then he said: "I am not leaving behind me any problem more difficult than that of Kalâlah. I did not ask the Messenger of Allah about any matter more than I asked him about Kalâlah, 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: '0 'Umar, is not the Verse that was revealed in summer at the end of Sârat An-Nisâ' sufficient for you?' If I live I will give a verdict concerning it which would enable those who read the Qur'ân and those who do not read it to know about this."
