Hadith 2948
اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنٌ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ، عَنْ الشَّعْبِيِّ، قَالَ: "أَوَّلُ جَدٍّ وَرِثَ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ عُمَر، فَأَخَذَ مَالَهُ، فَأَتَاهُ عَلِيٌّ، وَزَيْدٌ، فَقَالَا: لَيْسَ لَكَ ذَاكَ، إِنَّمَا أَنْتَ كَأَحَدِ الْأَخَوَيْنِ".
Shu’bi (may Allah have mercy on him) said: The first grandfather to inherit in Islam was Sayyiduna ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him); he took his share, so Sayyiduna ‘Ali and Sayyiduna Zayd (may Allah be pleased with them both) came to him and said: Not like this, you are like two brothers.
