وَكَانَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ «عَاقَدَ رَجُلًا فَوَرِثَهُ»Abu Bakr had made a contract with a man, so he inherited from him
Hadith 1436
اُردوEn
سَعِيدٌ قَالَ: نا هُشَيْمٌ، عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، قَالَ: " كَانَ الرَّجُلُ يُعَاقِدُ الرَّجُلَ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَيَقُولُ: تَرِثُنِي وَأَرِثُكَ فَيَكُونُ لَهُ السُّدُسُ مِمَّا تَرَكَ، ثُمَّ يَقْسِمُ أَهْلُ الْمِيرَاثِ مَوَارِيثَهُمْ فَنَسَخَتْهَا {وَأُولُو الْأَرْحَامِ بَعْضُهُمْ أَوْلَى بِبَعْضٍ} [الأحزاب: 6]
Hasan al-Basri (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "In the time of ignorance, a man would make an agreement with another that 'I will be your heir and you will be mine,' so the one who made the agreement would receive one-sixth, then the rest of the heirs would divide the remaining wealth among themselves. Then Allah the Exalted abrogated this through 'But those of blood relationship are nearer to one another' [الأحزاب: 6]."
