Allah’s Apostle said, “I am more closer to the believers than their ownselves, so whoever (among

Volume 8, Book 80, Number 739:
Narrated Ibn ‘Abbas: regarding the Holy Verse:–‘And to everyone, We have appointed heirs.
When the emigrants came to Medina, the Ansar used to be the heir of the emigrants (and vice
versa) instead of their own kindred by blood (Dhawl-l-arham), and that was because of the bond of
brotherhood which the Prophet had established between them, i.e. the Ansar and the emigrants. But
when the Divine Verse:–
‘And to everyone We have appointed heirs,’ (4.33) was revealed, it cancelled the other, order i.e.
‘To those also, to whom Your right hands have pledged.’
