Sunan Abi Dawud 2974 (Book 20, Hadith 47) #23264
Distributing Dinars as Sadaqah

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ advised not to distribute dinars among his heirs, and whatever he left after contribution to his wives and provisions for the workers or laborers on the land should be given as sadaqah (alms).

Narrated Abu Hurairah: The Prophet as saying: Do not distribute dinars among my heirs: Whatever I left after contribution to my wives and provisions for my governor is sadaqah (alms). Abu Dawud said: 'Amil means the workers or laborers on the land (ie peasants).
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ قَالَ ‏"‏ لاَ تَقْتَسِمُ وَرَثَتِي دِينَارًا مَا تَرَكْتُ بَعْدَ نَفَقَةِ نِسَائِي وَمُؤْنَةِ عَامِلِي فَهُوَ صَدَقَةٌ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ ‏"‏ مُؤْنَةِ عَامِلِي ‏"‏ ‏.‏ يَعْنِي أَكَرَةَ الأَرْضِ
