Bayhaqi 12542 — The abrogation of bequests to parents and relatives

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو نَصْرِ بْنُ قَتَادَةَ، أنا أَبُو مَنْصُورٍ النَّضْرَوِيُّ، ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ نَجْدَةَ، ثنا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، ثنا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ ابْنِ طَاوُسٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ: " إِنَّ الْوَصِيَّةَ كَانَتْ قَبْلَ الْمِيرَاثِ، فَلَمَّا نَزَلَ الْمِيرَاثُ نَسَخَ مَنْ يَرِثُ وَبَقِيَتِ الْوَصِيَّةُ لِمَنْ لَا يَرِثُ، فَهِيَ ثَابِتَةٌ، فَمَنْ أَوْصَى لِغَيْرِ ذِي قَرَابَةٍ لَمْ تَجُزْ وَصِيَّتُهُ ".
It is narrated from Tawus (may Allah have mercy on him) that the bequest came before inheritance. When the rulings of inheritance were revealed, (the bequest for) whoever became an heir was abrogated, and the bequest remained for whoever was not an heir; it is established. Whoever makes a bequest to someone other than a relative, it is not valid.
