Jami at-Tirmidhi 2092 (Book 29, Hadith 3) #27724
Inheritance Rights According to Islam

SUMMARY: The wife of Sa'd bin Ar-Rabi came to the Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) asking for help in providing her two daughters with wealth so they can get married, and the ayah about inheritance was revealed, granting them two thirds of their father's wealth and their mother one eighth.

Jabir bin 'Abdullah said: "The wife of Sa'd bin Ar-Rabi came with her two daughters from Sa'd to he Messenger of Allah(S.A.W)and said; O Messenger of Allah(S.A.W)! these two are daughters of Sa'd bin Ar-Rabi who fought along with you on the day of Uhud and was martyred. Their uncle took their wealth, without leaving any wealth for them, and they will not be married unless they have wealth'. He said: 'Allah will decide on that matter'. The ayah about inheritance was revealed, so the Messenger of Allah(S.A.W) sent (word) to their Uncle saying: Give the two daughters of Sa'd two thirds, and give their mother one eighth, and whatever remains, then it is for you'.
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، قال حَدَّثَنِي زَكَرِيَّاءُ بْنُ عَدِيٍّ، أَخْبَرَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَقِيلٍ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ جَاءَتِ امْرَأَةُ سَعْدِ بْنِ الرَّبِيعِ بِابْنَتَيْهَا مِنْ سَعْدٍ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَاتَانِ ابْنَتَا سَعْدِ بْنِ الرَّبِيعِ قُتِلَ أَبُوهُمَا مَعَكَ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ شَهِيدًا وَإِنَّ عَمَّهُمَا أَخَذَ مَالَهُمَا فَلَمْ يَدَعْ لَهُمَا مَالاً وَلاَ تُنْكَحَانِ إِلاَّ وَلَهُمَا مَالٌ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ يَقْضِي اللَّهُ فِي ذَلِكَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَنَزَلَتْ آيَةُ الْمِيرَاثِ فَبَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ إِلَى عَمِّهِمَا فَقَالَ ‏"‏ أَعْطِ ابْنَتَىْ سَعْدٍ الثُّلُثَيْنِ وَأَعْطِ أُمَّهُمَا الثُّمُنَ وَمَا بَقِيَ فَهُوَ لَكَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ لاَ نَعْرِفُهُ إِلاَّ مِنْ حَدِيثِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَقِيلٍ وَقَدْ رَوَاهُ شَرِيكٌ أَيْضًا عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَقِيلٍ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about a woman who came to the Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) asking for help in providing her two daughters with wealth so they can get married, as their uncle had taken all of their father's wealth after he passed away in battle at Uhud without leaving any for them. In response, Allah revealed an ayah regarding inheritance rights which granted them two thirds of their father's wealth and their mother one eighth, while whatever remained was given to the uncle who took it originally. This hadith teaches us that according to Islamic law, women are entitled to a portion of inheritance from deceased family members just like men are; this is an important lesson that should be taught and respected by all Muslims today as well as those living centuries ago when this revelation occurred. Furthermore, it also shows us how much compassion and mercy our beloved Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) showed towards those who were suffering or struggling financially; he always sought justice for those who were wronged or disadvantaged due to circumstances beyond their control such as these women whose father died in battle before they could receive any financial support from him or his estate after his death..
