وَحَدَّثَنِي مَالِك أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنْ الْأَنْصَارِ مِنْ بَنِي الْحَارِثِ بْنِ الْخَزْرَجِ تَصَدَّقَ عَلَى أَبَوَيْهِ بِصَدَقَةٍ، فَهَلَكَا فَوَرِثَ ابْنُهُمَا الْمَالَ وَهُوَ نَخْلٌ، فَسَأَلَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ : " قَدْ أُجِرْتَ فِي صَدَقَتِكَ، وَخُذْهَا بِمِيرَاثِكَ "
An Ansari man gave some date-palm trees in charity on behalf of his parents. Then his parents died, and that same man became their heir. He mentioned this to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said: "You have received the reward of charity, now take it as inheritance."
