Volume 6, Book 60, Number 114:
Narrated Said bin Jubair:
The people of Kufa disagreed (disputed) about the above Verse. So I went to Ibn Abbas and asked
him about it. He said, “This Verse:– “And whoever kills a believer intentionally, his recompense is
Hell.” was revealed last of all (concerning premeditated murder) and nothing abrogated it.”

Volume 6, Book 60, Number 115:
Narrated Ibn Abbas:
Regarding the Verse: “And say not to anyone who offers you peace (by accepting Islam), You are
not a believer.” There was a man amidst his sheep. The Muslims pursued him, and he said (to them)
“Peace be on you.” But they killed him and took over his sheep. Thereupon Allah revealed in that con –
cern, the above Verse up to:– “…seeking the perishable good of this life.” (4.94) i.e. those sheep.
Volume 6, Book 60, Number 116:
Narrated Zaid bin Thabit: That the Prophet dictated to him: “Not equal are those of the believers
who sit (at home) and those who strive and fight in the Cause of Allah.”
Zaid added: Ibn Um Maktum came while the Prophet was dictating to me and said, “O Allah’s
Apostle! By Allah, if I had the power to fight (in Allah’s Cause), I would,” and he was a blind man. So
Allah revealed to his Apostle while his thigh was on my thigh, and his thigh became so heavy that I
was afraid it might fracture my thigh. Then that state of the Prophet passed and Allah revealed:–
“Except those who are disabled (by injury or are blind or lame etc).”
Volume 6, Book 60, Number 101:
Narrated Jabir:
The Prophet and Abu Bakr came on foot to pay me a visit (during my illness) at Banu Salama’s
(dwellings). The Prophet found me unconscious, so he asked for water and performed the ablution
from it and sprinkled some water over it. I came to my senses and said, “O Allah’s Apostle! What do
you order me to do as regards my wealth?” So there was revealed:–
“Allah commands you as regards your children’s (inheritance):” (4.11)
Volume 6, Book 60, Number 117:
Narrated Al-Bara:
When the Verse:– “Not equal are those of the believers who sit (at home)” (4.95) was revealed, Al –
lah Apostle called for Zaid who wrote it. In the meantime Ibn Um Maktum came and complained of
his blindness, so Allah revealed: “Except those who are disabled (by injury or are blind or lame…” etc.)
(4.95)
Volume 6, Book 60, Number 102:
Narrated Ibn Abbas:
(In the Pre-Islamic Period ) the children used to inherit all the property but the parents used to in –
herit only through a will. So Allah cancelled that which He liked to cancel and put decreed that the
share of a son was to be twice the share of a daughter, and for the parents one-sixth for each one of
them, or one third, and for the wife one-eighth or one-fourth, and for the husband one-half, or one-
fourth.
Volume 6, Book 60, Number 118:
Narrated Al-Bara:
When the Verse:–“Not equal are those of the believers who sit (at home),” (4.95) was revealed, the
Prophet said, “Call so-and-so.” That person came to him with an ink-pot and a wooden board or a
shoulder scapula bone. The Prophet said (to him), “Write: ‘Not equal are those believers who sit (at
home) and those who strive and fight in the Cause of Allah.” Ibn Um Maktum who was sitting be –
hind the Prophet then said, “O Allah’s Apostle! I am a blind man.” So there was revealed in the place
of that Verse, the Verse:–“Not equal are those of the believers who sit (at home) except those who
are disabled (by injury, or are blind or lame etc.) and those who strive and fight in the Cause of Al –
lah.” (4.95)

Volume 6, Book 60, Number 103:
Narrated Ibn Abbas:
regarding the Divine Verse: “O you who believe! You are forbidden to inherit women against their
will, and you should not treat them with harshness that you may take back part of the (Mahr) dower
you have given them.” (4.19) (Before this revelation) if a man died, his relatives used to have the
right to inherit his wife, and one of them could marry her if he would, or they would give her in
marriage if they wished, or, if they wished, they would not give her in marriage at all, and they

would be more entitled to dispose her, than her own relatives. So the above Verse was revealed in
this connection.
