Sahih al-Bukhari 3096 (Book 57, Hadith 5) #2959
Charity is the Best Inheritance

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) instructed that none of his heirs should take any of his property, and whatever he left behind should be used for charity.

Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Messenger said, "My heirs should not take even a single Dinar (ie anything from my property), and whatever I leave, excluding the expenditure of my wives and my laborers, will be Sadaqa (ie be used for charity)"'.
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏ "‏ لاَ يَقْتَسِمُ وَرَثَتِي دِينَارًا، مَا تَرَكْتُ بَعْدَ نَفَقَةِ نِسَائِي وَمَئُونَةِ عَامِلِي فَهْوَ صَدَقَةٌ
