Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

It is narrated from Sufyan that Habib said: I and Hakam went to Sa'id bin Jubair, and I asked him about the interpretation of the verse { وَلْیَخْشَ الَّذِینَ لَوْ تَرَکُوا مِنْ خَلْفِہِمْ ذُرِّیَّۃً ضِعَافًا خَافُوا عَلَیْہِمْ … سَدِیدًا }. He said: It refers to those people who are present with a dying person at the time of his death and advise him to fear Allah! And the dying person gives something to those present as an act of maintaining family ties and kindness, even though if these people were in his place, they would wish to spend for their own children. Then we went to Miqsam and asked him about the same verse. He asked: What did Sa'id say? We replied: He said such and such. He said: That is not correct. Rather, this verse is about the person who, at the time of death, is being told: Fear Allah and keep your wealth with you! For no one has more right to your wealth than your own children. And if the one making the will is a relative, then they would wish that he makes a will in their favor.
