Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 32982 — Those who used to make bequests

Sufyan reported that Habib said: Al-Hakam and I went to Sa'id bin Jubayr, and I asked him for the explanation of the verse: "And let those fear who, if they were to leave behind them weak offspring, would fear for them," up to the word "straight (sadid)." He said: "This refers to those people who are present with a dying man at the time of his death and advise him: 'Fear Allah!' and that he should give something to those present by way of maintaining ties and kindness, whereas if they themselves were in that man's place, they would wish to preserve it for their own children."
