Hadith 33090
٣٣٠٩٠ - (١) حدثنا أبو الأحوص عن أبي إسحاق عن أبي الأحوص قال: قال عبد اللَّه: من تعلم القرآن فليتعلم الفرائض، ولا يكن كرجل لقيه أعرابي فقال له: أمهاجر أنت يا عبد اللَّه؟ فيقول: نعم، فيقول: إن بعض أهلي مات وترك كذا وكذا، فإن هو علمه فعلم آتاه اللَّه، وإن كان لا يحسن فيقول: فبم (تفضلونا) (٢) يا معشر المهاجرين (٣).
Abu Al-Ahwas narrates that Hazrat Abdullah bin Masood (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Whoever has learned the Qur'an should also learn the knowledge of inheritance laws, and should not become like that man to whom a villager came and asked: O servant of Allah! Are you a Muhajir? He replied: Yes! The villager asked: My wife has passed away and has left behind such and such wealth, so if he knew (the answer), then that is knowledge granted by Allah Almighty, and if he did not know, then the villager said: O group of Muhajirin! In what matter do you have superiority over us?
