Musnad Ahmad 172 (Book 2, Hadith 89) #33864
Property of Prophets as Charity

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught that the property of prophets should not be inherited and whatever they leave behind is charity.

It was narrated that Malik bin Aws said: I heard 'Umar say to 'Abdur­-Rahman bin 'Awf, Talhah, az-­Zubair and Sa'd: We adjure you by Allah, by whom heaven and earth are sustained, did you know that the Messenger of Allah said: "Our (Prophets’) property is not to be inherited and whatever we leave behind is charity'. They said: By Allah, yes,
حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ أَوْسٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عُمَرَ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يَقُولُ لِعَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ وَطَلْحَةَ وَالزُّبَيْرِ وَسَعْدٍ نَشَدْتُكُمْ بِاللَّهِ الَّذِي تَقُومُ السَّمَاءُ وَالْأَرْضُ بِهِ أَعَلِمْتُمْ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ إِنَّا لَا نُورَثُ مَا تَرَكْنَا صَدَقَةٌ قَالُوا اللَّهُمَّ نَعَمْ‏.‏
