عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ جَاءَتِ امْرَأَةُ سَعْدِ بْنِ الرَّبِيعِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِابْنَتَيْهَا مِنْ سَعْدٍ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَاتَانِ ابْنَتَا سَعْدِ بْنِ الرَّبِيعِ قُتِلَ أَبُوهُمَا مَعَكَ فِي أُحُدٍ شَهِيدًا وَإِنَّ عَمَّهُمَا أَخَذَ مَالَهُمَا فَلَمْ يَدَعْ لَهُمَا مَالًا وَلَا يُنْكَحَانِ إِلَّا وَلَهُمَا مَالٌ قَالَ فَقَالَ يَقْضِي اللَّهُ فِي ذَلِكَ فَنَزَلَتْ آيَةُ الْمِيرَاثِ فَأَرْسَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى عَمِّهِمَا فَقَالَ أَعْطِ ابْنَتَيْ سَعْدٍ الثُّلُثَيْنِ وَأُمَّهُمَا الثُّمُنَ وَمَا بَقِيَ فَهُوَ لَكَ
Narrated by Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the wife of Sayyiduna Sa’d bin Rabi’ (may Allah be pleased with him) came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) with her two daughters and said: O Messenger of Allah! These are the two daughters of Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him); their father was martyred in the Battle of Uhud with you (peace and blessings be upon him), and now their uncle has taken all the wealth. Obviously, if these daughters have no wealth, no man will be willing to marry them. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Allah Almighty will decide about this matter. Then the verse of inheritance was revealed, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) called the uncle of the girls and said: Give two-thirds to Sa’d’s daughters and one-eighth to their mother, and whatever remains is yours.
