أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو زَكَرِيَّا يَحْيَى بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى، وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ، قَالَا: ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، أنبأ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْحَكَمِ، أنبأ ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ، وَيُونُسُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، وَغَيْرُهُمَا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ، أَنَّ ابْنَ شِهَابٍ أَخْبَرَهُمْ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهَا زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ: " إِنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ نَحَلَهَا جِدَادَ عِشْرِينَ وَسْقًا مِنْ مَالٍ بِالْغَابَةِ، فَلَمَّا حَضَرَتْهُ ⦗٢٨١⦘ الْوَفَاةُ قَالَ: وَاللهِ يَا بُنَيَّةُ، مَا مِنَ النَّاسِ أَحَدٌ أَحَبَّ إِلِيَّ غِنًى بَعْدِي مِنْكِ، وَلَا أَعَزَّ عَلَيَّ فَقْرًا بَعْدِي مِنْكِ، وَإِنِّي كُنْتُ نَحَلْتُكِ مِنْ مَالِي جِدَادَ عِشْرِينَ وَسْقًا، فَلَوْ كُنْتِ جَدَدْتِيهِ وَاحْتَزْتِيهِ كَانَ لَكِ ذَلِكَ، وَإِنَّمَا هُوَ مَالُ الْوَارِثِ، وَإِنَّمَا هُوَ أَخَوَاكِ وَأُخْتَاكِ فَاقْتَسِمُوهُ عَلَى كِتَابِ اللهِ، فَقَالَتْ: يَا أَبَتِ، وَاللهِ لَوْ كَانَ كَذَا وَكَذَا لَتَرَكْتُهُ، إِنَّمَا هُوَ أَسْمَاءُ فَمَنِ الْأُخْرَى؟ قَالَ: ذُو بَطْنِ بِنْتِ خَارِجَةَ، أُرَاهَا جَارِيَةً " قَالَ: وَأَنْبَأَ ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ بِذَلِكَ، قَالَ: وَأَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ وَهْبٍ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ حَنْظَلَةَ بْنَ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ يُحَدِّثُ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ الْقَاسِمَ بْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ يُحَدِّثُ بِذَلِكَ أَيْضًا، إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ: أَرْضًا يُقَالُ لَهَا: تَمْرَدُ، وَكَانَتْ عِنْدَهُ لَمْ تَقْبِضْهَا.
Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her), the wife of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), said that Sayyiduna Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) gave her twenty wasqs of dates, to be cut at harvest, from his property at al-Ghabah. When the time of death came to Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him), he said: "O my daughter, there is no one among the people whose being wealthy after me is dearer to me than you, nor anyone whose being in need after me is harder on me than you. I had given you twenty wasqs of dates to be cut at harvest. If you had cut them and taken possession of them, (it would have been yours); otherwise it is the property of the heirs, and they are your two brothers and two sisters, so divide it according to the Book of Allah." Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: "O my father, by Allah, even if it were such-and-such (much more), I would have left it. My sister is only Sayyidah Asma (may Allah be pleased with her) - who is the other?" He said: "The one in the womb of (my wife) the daughter of Kharijah; I think it is a girl."
Al-Qasim bin Muhammad (may Allah have mercy on him) also narrated it likewise, except that he said it was land called Tamrad, which remained with him and she had not taken possession of it.
