An elder of Quraysh from Banu Taym narrated: So-and-so, so-and-so and so-and-so, until he counted six or seven people, all of them from Quraysh, among them Sayyiduna Abdullah bin al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with them both), narrated this to me; he said: Once we were sitting with Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) when Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sayyiduna al-Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) came in, their voices raised (that is, they were arguing with each other). Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Stop, O Abbas! I know what you will say: that half the wealth of my nephew should come to me. And O Ali, I also know what you will say. You will say: His daughter is my wife, so half the wealth should go to her. All of this was in the possession of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and we saw how the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used it. After him, Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) became its custodian, and he used all of it according to the way of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). After Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him), I became its custodian, and I swear by the name of Allah that I will strive my utmost to act in this matter according to the way of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and the way of Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him). The narrator Muhammad says: (Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said:) Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated a hadith to me, and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) swore by the name of Allah that Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) was truthful, that he heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "A prophet is not inherited from; his inheritance goes to the poor and the needy among the Muslims." Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated a hadith to me, then Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) swore that Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) was truthful, and Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) stated that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A prophet does not pass away until some member of his Ummah has led him in prayer." (Then Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said:) These are the things that were in the possession of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and we saw how the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used them. If you both wish, give me your undertaking that you will act in this matter according to the way of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him), so that I may hand it over to you. The narrator says: They then got up and withdrew; then the two of them came back, and Sayyiduna al-Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Hand it over to Ali, for I give it to him willingly.
Ahmad recorded it; its chain contains a narrator who is not named, and the rest of its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih.
