Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
The bequest (wasiyyah) of the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is established regarding matters of the Shari‘ah.
In particular, adherence to prayer, good treatment of slaves, expelling the polytheists from the Arabian Peninsula, and good conduct with delegations, etc.
However, there was no bequest from the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam regarding financial matters.
Because the Noble Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam did not leave behind any wealth.

Shaykh Maulana Abdul Aziz Alvi
Hadith Commentary: Benefits and Issues: The intent of Aisha (radi Allahu anha) is to deny an explicit bequest (wasiyyah) regarding wealth or the caliphate, otherwise, regarding the caliphate of Abu Bakr (radi Allahu anhu), the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) did make an implicit and indirect bequest.

Commentary:
Benefits and Issues:


The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said regarding this:
“My heirs will not distribute dinars and dirhams.
After providing for my wives and the expenses of the worker, whatever remains will be charity.” (Sahih al-Bukhari, Book of Wills, Chapter: The Maintenance of the Trustee for the Endowment, Hadith: 2776)


Some people think that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) gave some special bequests to Ali (radi Allahu anhu), or appointed him specifically for the caliphate. This notion is completely incorrect, as Ali (radi Allahu anhu) himself has refuted it.

Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
Imam al-Nasa'i rahimahullah narrates this tradition from his two teachers, Ja'far ibn Muhammad and Ahmad ibn Yusuf. In the final sentence, he wishes to clarify that Ja'far ibn Muhammad, when narrating this tradition, does not mention the words [دِرْھُماً وَلاَ دِینَارًا], whereas Ahmad ibn Yusuf transmits these words. The sole purpose of Imam al-Nasa'i rahimahullah is to indicate the difference between the two narrations; this does not affect the authenticity of the narration in any way. Furthermore, Imam al-Nasa'i's teacher, Muhammad ibn Rafi', also narrates these words.
