(Book 56, Hadith 27) #36882
Inheritance of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught that no one inherits from him, and whatever he leaves behind is to be given as charity.

Malik related to me from Ibn Shihab from Urwa ibn az-Zubayr from A'isha, umm al-muminin that when the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, died, the wives of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, wanted to send Uthman ibn Affan to Abu Bakr as-Siddiq to ask him about their inheritance from the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace A'isha said to them, "Didn't the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, say, 'No one inherits from us. What we leave is sadaqa'. "
حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أُمِّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، أَنَّ أَزْوَاجَ النَّبِيِّ، حِينَ تُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ أَرَدْنَ أَنْ يَبْعَثْنَ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ إِلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقِ فَيَسْأَلْنَهُ مِيرَاثَهُنَّ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَقَالَتْ لَهُنَّ عَائِشَةُ أَلَيْسَ قَدْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ لاَ نُورَثُ مَا تَرَكْنَا فَهُوَ صَدَقَةٌ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the inheritance of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). It was narrated by Malik from Ibn Shihab from Urwa ibn az-Zubayr from A'isha umm al-muminin. According to this hadith, when the Messenger of Allah passed away his wives wanted to send Uthman ibn Affan to Abu Bakr as-Siddiq in order to ask about their inheritance. However, A'isha reminded them that the Messenger of Allah said "No one inherits from us. What we leave is sadaqa." This means that no one should inherit anything from him and whatever he left behind should be given away as charity or sadaqa. This teaches us an important lesson about giving charity and helping those in need instead of accumulating wealth for ourselves. We should strive to follow this example set by our beloved prophet and give generously in order to help those who are less fortunate than us.
