Musnad Ahmad 1391 (Book 6, Hadith 11) #35015
Charity is the Inheritance of Prophets

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught that Prophets are not to be inherited from, and whatever they leave behind should be given as charity.

It was narrated from Malik bin Aws: I heard 'Umar (رضي الله عنه) say to 'Abdur-Rahman, Talhah, azZubair and Sa'd: "I adjure you by Allah, by Whose power heaven and earth exist Sufyan said on one occasion: by Whose leave heaven and earth exist, do you know that the Messenger of Allah said: 'We Prophets are not to be inherited from ; what we leave behind is charity". They said: "By Allah, yes".
حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ أَوْسٍ، سَمِعْتُ عُمَرَ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يَقُولُ لِعَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ وَطَلْحَةَ وَالزُّبَيْرِ وَسَعْدٍ نَشَدْتُكُمْ بِاللَّهِ الَّذِي تَقُومُ بِهِ السَّمَاءُ وَالْأَرْضُ وَقَالَ سُفْيَانُ مَرَّةً الَّذِي بِإِذْنِهِ تَقُومُ أَعَلِمْتُمْ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ إِنَّا لَا نُورَثُ مَا تَرَكْنَا صَدَقَةٌ قَالُوا اللَّهُمَّ نَعَمْ‏.‏
