The Legacy of the Prophet Muhammad

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) left behind only a few possessions when he passed away, including his white riding mule, weapons and land which he had given away to travelers.

'Amr bin Al-Harith (May Allah be pleased with him) the brother of Juwairiyah (May Allah be pleased with her), the Mother of believers) reported: (When he died) Messenger of Allah left neither a dinar nor a dirham nor a male slave nor a female slave, nor anything else except his white riding mule, his weapons and his land which he had given in charity to wayfarers. Al- Bukhari.
وعن عمرو بن الحارث أخي الجويرية بنت الحارث أم المؤمنين، رضي الله عنهما، قال‏:‏ ما ترك رسول الله، ، عند موته ديناراً ولا درهماً، ولا عبداً، ولا امة، ولا شيئا إلا بغلته البيضاء التى كان يركبها، وسلاحه، وأرضا جعلها لابن السبيل صدقة‏"‏ ‏(‏‏(‏رواه البخاري‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
When the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) passed away, he left behind very few possessions. These included his white riding mule, weapons and land which he had given in charity to wayfarers. This hadith highlights the importance of charity and generosity in Islam as well as the simplicity of life that was lived by the Prophet himself. He did not accumulate wealth or material possessions but instead gave them away for others to benefit from. This is an example for us all to follow in our own lives; we should strive to give generously and live simply without accumulating too much wealth or material goods.
