Hadith 1610

حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْخَلَّالُ، أَخْبَرَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ، عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ أَوْسِ بْنِ الْحَدَثَانِ، قَالَ : دَخَلْتُ عَلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ، وَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَفَّانَ، وَالزُّبَيْرُ بْنُ الْعَوَّامِ، وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ، وَسَعْدُ بْنُ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ، ثُمَّ جَاءَ عَلِيٌّ، وَالْعَبَّاسُ، يَخْتَصِمَانِ ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ لَهُمْ : أَنْشُدُكُمْ بِاللَّهِ الَّذِي بِإِذْنِهِ تَقُومُ السَّمَاءُ وَالْأَرْضُ ، تَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " لَا نُورَثُ مَا تَرَكْنَا صَدَقَةٌ ؟ " ، قَالُوا : نَعَمْ ، قَالَ عُمَرُ : فَلَمَّا تُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ : أَنَا وَلِيُّ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَجِئْتَ أَنْتَ وَهَذَا إِلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ تَطْلُبُ أَنْتَ مِيرَاثَكَ مِنَ ابْنِ أَخِيكَ ، وَيَطْلُبُ هَذَا مِيرَاثَ امْرَأَتِهِ مِنْ أَبِيهَا ، فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ : إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " لَا نُورَثُ مَا تَرَكْنَا صَدَقَةٌ " ، وَاللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ إِنَّهُ صَادِقٌ بَارٌّ رَاشِدٌ تَابِعٌ لِلْحَقِّ ، قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : وَفِي الْحَدِيثِ قِصَّةٌ طَوِيلَةٌ ، وَهَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ غَرِيبٌ مِنْ حَدِيثِ مَالِكِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ .
Malik bin Aws bin Hadthan says: I went to Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him), and at that time, Uthman bin Affan, Zubair bin Awwam, Abdur Rahman bin Awf, and Sa’d bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with them) also arrived. Then Ali and Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) came while disputing. Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said to them: I ask you by Allah, by whose command the heavens and the earth are established, do you know that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “We (i.e., the Prophets) have no heirs; whatever we leave behind is charity”? The people said: Yes! Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away, Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I am the successor of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Then you came to Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him), seeking your share from the inheritance of your nephew, and this one (came) seeking the inheritance of her father for his wife. Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Indeed, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “We (i.e., the Prophets) have no heirs; whatever we leave behind is charity.” (Umar [may Allah be pleased with him] said) Allah knows best, Abu Bakr was truthful, righteous, good, and a follower of the truth. © Imam Tirmidhi says:

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Dr. Abdur Rahman Freywai
Explanation: 1:

In the manuscripts of Tirmidhi, it is written as "Malik bin Anas." Clearly, here the singular narration (tafarrud) is by "Malik bin Aws" from Umar bin Khattab, as is evident from the referencing (takhrij). Therefore, the correct version is "Malik bin Aws."
