SAHIH BUKHARI VOLUME 8 > BOOK 80: LAWS OF INHERITANCE (AL-FARAA’ID)
While I was sick, the Prophet entered upon me and asked for some water to perform ablution, and
after he had finished his ablution, he sprinkled some water of his ablution over me, whereupon I be –
came conscious and said, “O Allah’s Apostle! I have sisters.” Then the Divine Verses regarding the
laws of inheritance were revealed.

Narrated Al-Bara:
The last Quranic Verse that was revealed (to the Prophet) was the final Verse of Surat-an-Nisa, i.e.,
‘They ask you for a legal verdict Say: Allah directs (thus) About those who leave No descendants or
ascendants as heirs….’ (4.176)
Volume 8, Book 80, Number 737:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah’s Apostle said, “I am more closer to the believers than their ownselves, so whoever (among
them) dies leaving some inheritance, his inheritance will be given to his ‘Asaba, and whoever dies
leaving a debt or dependants or destitute children, then I am their supporter.”
Volume 8, Book 80, Number 738:
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; and whatever is left should be given to the closest male relative
of the deceased.”
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.’

Narrated Ibn ‘Umar:
A man and his wife had a case of Lian (or Mula’ana) during the lifetime of the Prophet and the
man denied the paternity of her child. The Prophet gave his verdict for their separation (divorce) and
then the child was regarded as belonging to the wife only.
Volume 8, Book 80, Number 741:
Narrated ‘Aisha:
‘Utba (bin Abi Waqqas) said to his brother Sa’d, “The son of the slave girl of Zam’a is my son, so be
his custodian.” So when it was the year of the Conquest of Mecca, Sa’d took that child and said, “He is
my nephew, and my brother told me to be his custodian.” On that, ‘Abu bin Zam’a got up and said,
‘but the child is my brother, and the son of my father’s slave girl as he was born on his bed.” So they
both went to the Prophet. Sa’d said, “O Allah’s Apostle! (This is) the son of my brother and he told me
to be his custodian.” Then ‘Abu bin Zam’a said, “(But he is) my brother and the son of the slave girl of
my father, born on his bed.” The Prophet said, “This child is for you. O ‘Abu bin Zam’a, as the child is
for the owner of the bed, and the adulterer receives the stones.” He then ordered (his wife) Sauda bint
Zam’a to cover herself before that boy as he noticed the boy’s resemblance to ‘Utba. Since then the
boy had never seen Sauda till he died.
