Allah’s Apostle said, “Not even a single Dinar of my property should be distributed (after my deaths

Narrated ‘Urwa:
‘Aisha said, “When Allah’s Apostle died, his wives intended to send ‘Uthman to Abu Bakr asking
him for their share of the inheritance.” Then ‘Aisha said to them, “Didn’t Allah’s Apostle say, ‘Our
(Apostles’) property is not to be inherited, and whatever we leave is to be spent in charity?'”

Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, “I am more closer to the believers than their own selves, so whoever (of them)
dies while being in debt and leaves nothing for its repayment, then we are to pay his debts on his be –
half and whoever (among the believers) dies leaving some property, then that property is for his
heirs.”
Volume 8, Book 80, Number 724:
Narrated Ibn ‘Abbas:
The Prophet said, “Give the Fara’id (the shares of the inheritance that are prescribed in the Qur’an)
to those who are entitled to receive it. Then whatever remains, should be given to the closest male
relative of the deceased .”

Narrated Jabir bin ‘Abdullah:
I became sick so Allah’s Apostle and Abu Bakr came on foot to pay me a visit. When they came, I
was unconscious. Allah’s Apostle performed ablution and he poured over me the water (of his ablu –
tion) and I came to my senses and said, “O Allah’s Apostle! What shall I do regarding my property?
How shall I distribute it?” The Prophet did not reply till the Divine Verses of inheritance were re –
vealed .

Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah’s Apostle said, ‘Beware of suspicion, for it is the worst of false tales and don’t look for the
other’s faults and don’t spy and don’t hate each other, and don’t desert (cut your relations with) one
another O Allah’s slaves, be brothers!” (See Hadith No. 90)
Volume 8, Book 80, Number 718:
Narrated ‘Aisha:
Fatima and Al ‘Abbas came to Abu Bakr, seeking their share from the property of Allah’s Apostle
and at that time, they were asking for their land at Fadak and their share from Khaibar. Abu Bakr
said to them, ” I have heard from Allah’s Apostle saying, ‘Our property cannot be inherited, and
whatever we leave is to be spent in charity, but the family of Muhammad may take their provisions
from this property.” Abu Bakr added, “By Allah, I will not leave the procedure I saw Allah’s Apostle
following during his lifetime concerning this property.” Therefore Fatima left Abu Bakr and did not
speak to him till she died.
