عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنْ جَابِرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ اشْتَكَيْتُ وَعِنْدِي سَبْعُ أَخَوَاتٍ لِي فَدَخَلَ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَنَضَحَ فِي وَجْهِي فَأَفَقْتُ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أُوصِي لِأَخَوَاتِي بِالثُّلُثَيْنِ قَالَ أَحْسِنْ قُلْتُ بِالشَّطْرِ قَالَ أَحْسِنْ قَالَ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ وَتَرَكَنِي ثُمَّ رَجَعَ فَقَالَ يَا جَابِرُ إِنِّي لَا أَرَاكَ مَيِّتًا مِنْ وَجَعِكَ هَذَا فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ قَدْ أَنْزَلَ فَبَيَّنَ الَّذِي لِأَخَوَاتِكَ فَجَعَلَ لَهُنَّ الثُّلُثَيْنِ فَكَانَ جَابِرٌ يَقُولُ نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ فِيَّ يَسْتَفْتُونَكَ قُلِ اللَّهُ يُفْتِيكُمْ فِي الْكَلَالَةِ [سورة النساء: ١٧٦]
Narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I fell ill, and I had seven sisters. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came to me and sprinkled water on my face, and I regained consciousness. I said: O Messenger of Allah! Should I bequeath two-thirds of my wealth for my sisters? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Do more. I said: Should I bequeath half of my wealth? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Do more. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) left me and then returned and said: O Jabir! I think you will not die from this illness. In any case, Allah Almighty has revealed the Qur’an and clarified the share of your sisters and has given them two-thirds. Sayyiduna Jabir used to say: This verse was revealed about me: {یَسْتَفْتُونَکَ قُلِ اللّٰہُ یُفْتِیکُمْ فِی الْکَلَالَۃِ}.
