Sunan an-Nasai 3623 (Book 30, Hadith 13) #18237
The Prophet's Legacy of Generosity

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) did not leave behind any wealth or possessions when he passed away.

It was narrated that 'Aishah said: "The Messenger of Allah did not leave behind a Dirham or a Dinar, or a sheep or a camel, and he did not leave any will". Ja'far did not mention "Dinar or Dirham".
أَخْبَرَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْهُذَيْلِ، وَأَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا عَاصِمُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنُ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنِ الأَسْوَدِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ مَا تَرَكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ دِرْهَمًا وَلاَ دِينَارًا وَلاَ شَاةً وَلاَ بَعِيرًا وَلاَ أَوْصَى‏.‏ لَمْ يَذْكُرْ جَعْفَرٌ دِينَارًا وَلاَ دِرْهَمًا‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks to the legacy of generosity left by the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). It is narrated that 'Aishah said that when the Messenger of Allah passed away he did not leave behind any wealth or possessions such as dirhams and dinars or animals like sheep and camels. Additionally, it is noted that Ja'far did not mention dirhams and dinars in his narration. This hadith serves as a reminder to us all about the importance of giving charity and being generous with our wealth. It also shows us how even though the Prophet was a leader who was respected by many people around him, he still chose to give away whatever he had instead of leaving it for himself or his family members. We can learn from this example that we should strive to be generous with our resources no matter how much we have in order to help those who are less fortunate than us.
