حَدَّثَنَا الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ نَافِعٍ أَبُو تَوْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ ، عَنْ أُسَامَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ رَافِعٍ مَوْلَى أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ ، قَالَتْ : أَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَجُلَانِ يَخْتَصِمَانِ فِي مَوَارِيثَ لَهُمَا لَمْ تَكُنْ لَهُمَا بَيِّنَةٌ إِلَّا دَعْوَاهُمَا ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : فَذَكَرَ مِثْلَهُ ، فَبَكَى الرَّجُلَانِ ، وَقَالَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا : حَقِّي لَكَ ، فَقَالَ لَهُمَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : أَمَّا إِذْ فَعَلْتُمَا مَا فَعَلْتُمَا ، فَاقْتَسِمَا وَتَوَخَّيَا الْحَقَّ ، ثُمَّ اسْتَهَمَا ، ثُمَّ تَحَالَّا .
Umm Salamah said: Two men came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ who were disputing over their inheritance. They had no evidence except their claim. The Prophet ﷺ then said in a similar way. Thereupon both the men wept and each of them said: This right of mine go to you. The Prophet ﷺ then said: Now you have done whatever you have done ; do divide it up, aiming at what is right, then drew lots, and let each of you consider the other to have what is legitimately his"
Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
➊ In such matters and cases, there is no solution other than reconciliation.
➋ When two parties are equal in entitlement, the matter should be decided by drawing lots.
➌ It is appropriate to compensate for any possible excess by seeking forgiveness in this world. In this world, a person can, according to the situation, bear some financial pressure or other difficulty and hardship, but in the case of injustice, the reckoning on the Day of Judgment will be extremely severe and harsh.
