Thulathiyyat (Musnad Ahmad) 28
Musnad of Jābir ibn ʿAbdillāh al-Anṣārī (may Allāh be pleased with him)
حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ ابْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ جَابِرًا يَقُولُ: مَرِضْتُ، فَأَتَانِي النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَعُودُنِي هُوَ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ مَاشِيَيْنِ، وَقَدْ أُغْمِيَ عَلَيَّ، فَلَمْ أُكَلِّمْهُ، فَتَوَضَّأَ فَصَبَّهُ عَلَيَّ، فَأَقَمْتُ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، كَيْفَ أَصْنَعُ فِي مَالِي وَلِي أَخَوَاتٌ؟ قَالَ: فَنَزَلَتْ آيَةُ الْمِيرَاثِ: ﴿يَسْتَفْتُونَكَ قُلِ اللَّهُ يُفْتِيكُمْ فِي الْكَلَالَةِ﴾ [النساء: ١٧٦] ﴿إِنِ امْرُؤٌ هَلَكَ﴾ [النساء: ١٧٦] لَيْسَ لَهُ وَلَدٌ وَلَهُ أُخْتٌ.
Translation
Jābir (رضي الله عنه) reported: “I fell ill, and the Prophet (ﷺ) came to visit me, along with Abū Bakr, both walking on foot. I was unconscious and could not speak to him. He performed wuḍūʾ and poured [the remaining water] over me, and I came around. I said: ‘O Messenger of Allāh, how should I handle my wealth when I have only sisters [as heirs]?’ He did not reply until the verse of inheritance was revealed: ‘They ask you for a legal verdict. Say: Allāh directs you regarding al-kalāla [one who leaves neither child nor father]…If a man dies without leaving a child but has a sister…’ (al-Nisāʾ, 4:176).” Reference: Musnad Aḥmad 28
