Hadith 194

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ جَابِرًا ، يَقُولُ : جَاءَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَعُودُنِي وَأَنَا مَرِيضٌ لَا أَعْقِلُ ، " فَتَوَضَّأَ وَصَبَّ عَلَيَّ مِنْ وَضُوئِهِ " ، فَعَقَلْتُ ، فَقُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، لِمَنِ الْمِيرَاثُ ؟ إِنَّمَا يَرِثُنِي كَلَالَةٌ ، فَنَزَلَتْ آيَةُ الْفَرَائِضِ .
Narrated Jabir: Allah's Apostle came to visit me while I was sick and unconscious. He performed ablution and sprinkled the remaining water on me and I became conscious and said, "O Allah's Apostle! To whom will my inheritance go as I have neither ascendants nor descendants?" Then the Divine verses regarding Fara'id (inheritance) were revealed.
