Hadith 1615

Umm al-Mu'mineen Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) says that the pure wives of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) to Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) to ask for their eighth share from the spoils of war. I used to stop them and say, "Do you not fear Allah? Do you not know the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that we have no heirs; whatever we leave behind is charity." By this, he meant himself, that only the family of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) may eat from this wealth. Then, all the wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) refrained from asking for this share at my saying.
