باب مَنْ لَمْ يُوصِ:
Chapter on those who did not make a will
Hadith 3213
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ مِغْوَلٍ، عَنْ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ مُصَرِّفٍ الْيَامِيِّ، قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ أَبِي أَوْفَى: أَوْصَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ؟ قَالَ: لَا، قُلْت: فَكَيْفَ كُتِبَ عَلَى النَّاسِ الْوَصِيَّةُ أَوْ: أُمِرُوا بِالْوَصِيَّةِ ؟ فَقَالَ: أَوْصَى بِكِتَابِ اللَّهِ . وقَالَ هُزَيْلُ بْنُ شُرَحْبِيلَ: أَبُو بَكْرٍ كَانَ يَتَأَمَّرُ عَلَى وَصِيِّ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَدَّ أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَنَّهُ وَجَدَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَهْدًا، فَخَزَمَ أَنْفَهُ بِخِزَامَةٍ ذلِكَ.
Talhah bin Musarrif al-Yami said: I asked Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abi Awfa (may Allah be pleased with him): Did the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) make a will? He replied: No. I asked: Then how did the will become obligatory upon people? Or why were they commanded to make a will? He replied: This is (clear) from the Book of Allah, the Qur'an, probably referring to «إِذَا حَضَرَ أَحَدَكُمُ الْمَوْتُ . . . . . .» [بقره: 180/2]. Huzail bin Shurahbil said: Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) could have ruled over the executor of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), but Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) liked to fulfill the covenant of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) just as an obedient she-camel submits to the rein.
Hadith 3214
أَخْبَرَنَا يَزِيدُ، أنبأنا هَمَّامٌ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ: "كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمْ إِذَا حَضَرَ أَحَدَكُمُ الْمَوْتُ إِنْ تَرَكَ خَيْرًا الْوَصِيَّةُ لِلْوَالِدَيْنِ وَالأَقْرَبِينَ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ حَقًّا عَلَى الْمُتَّقِينَ سورة البقرة آية 180، قَالَ: "الْخَيْرُ: الْمَالُ، كَانَ يُقَالُ: أَلْفًا فَمَا فَوْقَ ذَلِكَ".
It is narrated from Qatadah (may Allah have mercy on him) regarding «إِنْ تَرَكَ خَيْرًا الْوَصِيَّةُ. . . . . .» [بقره: 180/2] that in this verse, by «خَيْرًا» is meant wealth, about which it was said that it is a thousand or more.
