Ibn al-Munkadir (may Allah have mercy on him) heard Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) saying: I fell ill, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) visited me; Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) was with him as well, and they came walking. I was unconscious and did not speak to him. He (peace and blessings be upon him) performed ablution and sprinkled the water of his ablution on me. When I came to, I said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! What shall I do with my wealth, as I have sisters?" Then the verse of inheritance was revealed: "They ask you for a ruling. Say: Allah gives you a ruling concerning kalalah" [Surah al-Nisa: 176], meaning one who has no children but has sisters. Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Only kalalah will inherit from me; so he called those who would inherit from him kalalah.
The Shaykh said: The verse of inheritance was revealed concerning Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both); he had neither children nor parents, because his father had been martyred on the day of Uhud, and this verse was revealed after that.
