حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ أَنْبَأَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي عَرُوبَةَ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ شَهْرِ بْنِ حَوْشَبٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ غَنْمٍ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ خَارِجَةَ
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ خَطَبَهُمْ وَهُوَ عَلَى رَاحِلَتِهِ وَإِنَّ رَاحِلَتَهُ لَتَقْصَعُ بِجِرَّتِهَا وَإِنَّ لُغَامَهَا لَيَسِيلُ بَيْنَ كَتِفَىَّ قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَسَمَ لِكُلِّ وَارِثٍ نَصِيبَهُ مِنَ الْمِيرَاثِ فَلاَ يَجُوزُ لِوَارِثٍ وَصِيَّةٌ الْوَلَدُ لِلْفِرَاشِ وَلِلْعَاهِرِ الْحَجَرُ وَمَنِ ادَّعَى إِلَى غَيْرِ أَبِيهِ أَوْ تَوَلَّى غَيْرَ مَوَالِيهِ فَعَلَيْهِ لَعْنَةُ اللَّهِ وَالْمَلاَئِكَةِ وَالنَّاسِ أَجْمَعِينَ لاَ يُقْبَلُ مِنْهُ صَرْفٌ وَلاَ عَدْلٌ أَوْ قَالَ عَدْلٌ وَلاَ صَرْفٌ

“The Prophet ﷺ addressed them when he was on his camel. His camel was chewing its cud and its saliva was dripping between my shoulders. He said: 'Allah (SWT) has allocated for each heir his share of the inheritance, so it is not permissible (to make) a bequest for an heir. The child belong to the bed and the adulterer gets the stone. Whoever claims to belong to someone other than his father, or (a freed slave) who claims that his Wala is for other than his Mavali, upon him will be the curse of Allah, the angels and all the people, and no charge nor equitable exchange will be accepted from him.” Or he said: “No equitable exchange nor change.”

What scholars said about it
In their own words, as Hadith Unlocked records them. They are shown, not summarised into a grade.
- Abū Ḥatim al-Rāzī
أيهما أصح قال عن عبد الرحمن بن غنم أصح
machine translationWhich of the two is more sound (aṣaḥḥ)? He said: "From ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. Ghanm is more sound (aṣaḥḥ)."
in سنن ابن ماجه, p. 2805 - Shafiʿī
جنح الشافعي في الأم إلى أن هذا المتن متواتر فقال وجدنا أهل الفتيا ومن حفظنا عنهم من أهل العلم بالمغازي من قريش وغيرهم لا يختلفون في أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال عام الفتح لا وصية لوارث ويؤثرون عمن حفظوه عنه ممن لقوه من أهل العلم فكان نقل كافة عن كافة فهو أقوى من نقل واحد
machine translationAl-Shāfiʿī inclined in al-Umm to the view that this text is mass-transmitted (mutawātir), and said: "We found the people of legal rulings, and those of the people of knowledge of the military expeditions (maghāzī) among Quraysh and others whom we have memorized from, not disagreeing that the Prophet ﷺ said in the year of the Conquest: 'There is no bequest for an heir.' And they transmit it from those of the people of knowledge whom they met and from whom they memorized it. So it is a transmission of the many from the many, and it is stronger than the transmission of a single person."
in سنن ابن ماجه, p. 2805 - محمد بن عمر بن الحسين الطبرستاني
نازع الفخر الرازي في كون هذا الحديث متواترا
machine translationAl-Fakhr al-Rāzī disputed that this hadith is mass-transmitted (mutawātir).
in سنن ابن ماجه, p. 2805 - Ibn Ḥajar al-ʿAsqalānī
لا يخلو إسناد كل منها عن مقال لكن مجموعها يقتضي أن للحديث أصلا
machine translationThe chain of each of them is not free of criticism, but their totality indicates that the hadith has a basis.
