(Book 37, Hadith 2) #36527
Leaving a Bequest

SUMMARY: Umar ibn al-Khattab instructed that an adolescent boy from the Ghassan tribe, who had not yet reached puberty, should leave a bequest to his paternal uncle's daughter.

Malik related to me from Abdullah ibn Abi Bakr ibn Hazm that Amr ibn Sulaym az-Zuraqi informed his father that it had been said to Umar ibn al-Khattab, "There is here an adolescent boy who has not yet reached puberty. He is from the Ghassan tribe and his heir is in ash- Sham. He has property. Here he only has the daughter of one of his paternal uncles". Umar ibn al-Khattab instructed, "Let him leave her a bequest". He willed her a property called the well of Jusham. Malik added, "That property was sold for 30,000 Dirhams, and the daughter of the paternal uncle to whom he willed it was the mother of Amr ibn Sulaym az-Zuraqi".
حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ حَزْمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ عَمْرَو بْنَ سُلَيْمٍ الزُّرَقِيَّ، أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ، قِيلَ لِعُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ إِنَّ هَا هُنَا غُلاَمًا يَفَاعًا لَمْ يَحْتَلِمْ مِنْ غَسَّانَ وَوَارِثُهُ بِالشَّامِ وَهُوَ ذُو مَالٍ وَلَيْسَ لَهُ هَا هُنَا إِلاَّ ابْنَةُ عَمٍّ لَهُ ‏.‏ قَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ فَلْيُوصِ لَهَا ‏.‏ قَالَ فَأَوْصَى لَهَا بِمَالٍ يُقَالُ لَهُ بِئْرُ جُشَمٍ قَالَ عَمْرُو بْنُ سُلَيْمٍ فَبِيعَ ذَلِكَ الْمَالُ بِثَلاَثِينَ أَلْفَ دِرْهَمٍ وَابْنَةُ عَمِّهِ الَّتِي أَوْصَى لَهَا هِيَ أُمُّ عَمْرِو بْنِ سُلَيْمٍ الزُّرَقِيِّ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about leaving a bequest or wasiyyah in Arabic. It tells the story of an adolescent boy from the Ghassan tribe who had not yet reached puberty and owned property in ash-Sham. Umar ibn al-Khattab instructed that he should leave a bequest to his paternal uncle's daughter, which he did by willing her the well of Jusham. This property was later sold for 30,000 dirhams and this woman became the mother of Amr ibn Sulaym az-Zuraqi. The main idea behind this hadith is that it is important to make sure our loved ones are taken care of even after we are gone by leaving them something in our will or estate plan. It also teaches us about generosity and kindness towards family members as well as being mindful of our responsibilities even when we are young or inexperienced.
