Sunan Ibn Majah 2734 (Book 23, Hadith 16) #32088
Fair Distribution of Wealth

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) divided the wealth of a deceased freed slave between his daughter and the daughter of Hamzah.

It was narrated that the daughter of Hamzah said: "My freed slave died, leaving behind a daughter. The Messenger of Allah divided his wealth between myself and his daughter, giving me half and her half".
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، عَنْ زَائِدَةَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، عَنِ الْحَكَمِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ شَدَّادٍ، عَنْ بِنْتِ حَمْزَةَ، - قَالَ مُحَمَّدٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ أَبِي لَيْلَى وَهِيَ أُخْتُ ابْنِ شَدَّادٍ لأُمِّهِ - قَالَتْ مَاتَ مَوْلاَىَ وَتَرَكَ ابْنَةً فَقَسَمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ مَالَهُ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ ابْنَتِهِ فَجَعَلَ لِيَ النِّصْفَ وَلَهَا النِّصْفَ

QUICK LESSONS:
Strive for fairness and equality when distributing wealth or inheritance among people regardless their social status or relationship with you .

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks to the importance of justice and fairness in distributing wealth. It was narrated that the daughter of Hamzah said that her freed slave died, leaving behind a daughter. In this situation, it would have been easy for her to take all the wealth for herself, but instead, she chose to follow what was taught by Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). He divided the wealth between herself and his daughter, giving them each half. This teaches us that when it comes to inheritance or any other form of distribution, we should always strive for fairness and equality so that everyone is treated fairly regardless of their social status or relationship with us. We should also remember that Allah is watching over us at all times and will reward those who are just in their dealings with others.
