Hadith 6332
اُردوEn
عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ خَارِجَةَ الْخُشَنِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَطَبَهُمْ عَلَى رَاحِلَتِهِ وَإِنَّ رَاحِلَتَهُ لَتَقْصَعُ بِجِرَّتِهَا وَأَنَّ لُعَابَهَا يَسِيلُ بَيْنَ كَتِفَيَّ فَقَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ قَدْ قَسَمَ لِكُلِّ إِنْسَانٍ نَصِيبَهُ مِنَ الْمِيرَاثِ فَلَا تَجُوزُ وَصِيَّةٌ لِوَارِثٍ الْحَدِيثَ
Narrated by Sayyiduna Amr bin Kharijah Khushani رضي الله عنه: The Noble Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم delivered a sermon to us while he صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم was mounted on his riding animal, and his animal was chewing the cud and its saliva was flowing onto my shoulders. He صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم said: Allah Almighty has fixed the share of every person in inheritance, therefore it is not permissible to make a bequest in favor of an heir.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … The bequest of one third of the wealth pertains to that person who is not becoming an heir; the deceased is not permitted to make a bequest in favor of any heir for more than his prescribed Islamic share. If he does so, his bequest will be rejected.
