The Book of Wills from Sunan
An-Nasa'i
3641 It was narrated that Abu
Hurairah said: "A man came to the Prophet (saw) and said: 'O Messenger of
Allah, what kind of charity brings the greatest reward?' He said: 'To give in
charity when you are healthy and feeling miserly, and fearing poverty and hoping
for a long life. Do not wait until the (death rattle) reaches the throat and
then say: "This is for so and so," and it nearly became the property
of so and so (the heirs).'" (Sahih)
3642 It was narrated that
'Abdullah said: "The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: 'For whom among you is
the wealth of his heirs dearer to him than his own wealth?' They said: 'O
Messenger of Allah, there is no one among us for whom his own wealth is not
dearer to him than the wealth of his heirs.' The Messenger of Allah (saw) said:
'Know that there is no one among you for whom the wealth of his heirs is not
dearer than his own wealth. Your wealth is that which you have sent on ahead,
and the wealth of your heirs is that which you have kept.'" (Sahih)
3643 It was narrated from Mutarrif,
from his father, that the Prophet (saw) said: "The mutual rivalry (for
piling up of worldly things) diverts you, 'Until you visit the graves (i.e.
till you die).'[102:1-2] The son of Adam says: 'My wealth, my wealth,' but your
wealth is what you eat and consume, or what you wear and it wears out, or what
you give in charity and send on ahead (for the Hereafter).'" (Sahih)
3644 Abu Habibah At-ta'i said:
"A man made a will leaving some Dinars (to be spent) in the cause of
Allah. Abu Ad-Darda' was asked about that, and he narrated that the Prophet
(saw) said: 'The likeness of the one who frees a slave or gives some charity
when he is dying, is that of a man who gives a gift after he has eaten his
fill.'" (Hasan)
3645 It was narrated that Ibn
'Umar said: "The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: 'It is not befitting for a
Muslim who has anything concerning which a will should be made, to abide for
two nights without having a written will with him.'" (Sahih)
3646 It was narrated from Ibn
'Umar that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: "It is not befitting for a
Muslim who has anything concerning which a will should be made, to abide for
two nights without having a written will with him." (Sahih)
3647 (The same) was narrated from
Ibn 'Awn, from Nafi', from Ibn 'Umar. (Sahih)
3648 It was narrated from
'Abdullah bin 'Umar that the Prophet (saw) said: "It is not befitting for
a Muslim to abide for three nights without having his will with him."
'Abdullah bin 'Umar said: "Since I heard this from the Messenger of Allah
(saw), I have always had my will with me." (Sahih)
3649 It was narrated from Salim
bin 'Abdullah, from his father, that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said:
"It is not right for a Muslim who has anything concerning which a will
should be made, to abide for more than three nights without having a written
will with him." (Sahih)
3650 Talha said: "I asked Ibn
Abi Awfa: 'Did the Messenger of Allah (saw) leave a will?' He said: 'No.' I
said: 'How come it is prescribed for the Muslims to make wills?' He said: 'He
left instructions urging the Muslims to adhere to the Book of Allah.'"
(Sahih)
3651 It was narrated that 'Aishah
said: "The Messenger of Allah (saw) did not leave behind a Dinar or a
Dirham, or a sheep or a camel, and he did not leave any will." (Sahih)
3652 It was narrated that 'Aisha
said: "The Messenger of Allah (saw) did not leave behind a Dirham or a
Dinar, or a sheep or a camel, and he did not leave any will." (Sahih)
3653 It was narrated that 'Aishah
said: "The Messenger of Allah (saw) did not leave behind a Dirham or a
Dinar, or a sheep or a camel, and he did not leave any will." Ja'far did
not mention "Dinar or Dirham." (Sahih)
3654 It was narrated that 'Aishah
said: "They say that the Messenger of Allah (saw) made a will concerning
'Ali, may Allah be pleased with him. But he called for a vessel in which to
urinate, then he (saw) went limp without me realizing it. So to whom did he leave
a will?" (Sahih)
3655 It was narrated that 'Aishah
said: "The Messenger of Allah (saw) died when no one was with him except
me." She said: "And he called for a vessel." (Sahih)
3656 It was narrated from 'Amir
bin Sa'd that his father said: "I became ill with a sickness from which I
later recovered. The Messenger of Allah (saw) came to visit me, and I said: 'O
Messenger of Allah, I have a great deal of wealth and I have no heir except my
daughter. Shall I give two-thirds of my wealth in charity?' He said: 'No.' I
said: 'Half?' He said: 'No.' I said: 'One-third?' He said: '(Give) one-third,
and one-third is a lot. It is better to leave your heirs independent of means,
than to leave them poor and holding their hands to people.'" (Sahih)
3657 It was narrated that Sa'd
said: "The Prophet (saw) came to visit me when I was in Makkah. I said: 'O
Messenger of Allah, shall I bequeath all my money?' He said: 'No.' I said: 'One
half?' He said: 'No.' I said: 'One-third?' He said: '(Bequeath) one-third, and one-third
is a lot. If you leave your heirs independent of means, that is better than if
you leave them poor and holding out their hands to people.'" (Sahih)
3658 It was narrated from 'Amir
bin Sa'd that his father said: "The Prophet (saw) used to visit him when
he was in Makkah, and he did not want to die in the land from which he had
emigrated. The Prophet (saw) said: 'May Allah have mercy on Sa'd bin 'Afra'.'
He had only one daughter, and he said: 'O Messenger of Allah, shall I bequeath
all my wealth?' He said: 'No.' I said: 'Half?' He said: 'No.' I said:
'One-third?' He said: 'One-third, and one-third is a lot. For you to leave your
heirs independent of means is better than if you were to leave them poor,
holding out their hands to people.'" (Sahih)
3659 One from the family of Sa'd
narrated: "Sa'd fell sick and the Messenger of Allah (saw) entered upon
him and he said: 'O Messenger of Allah, shall I bequeath all my money?' He
said: 'No.'" And he quoted the same Hadith. (Sahih)
3660 'Amir bin Sa'd (narrated) from
his father that he fell sick in Makkah and the Messenger of Allah (saw) came to
him. When Sa'd saw him, he wept and said: "O Messenger of Allah, am I to
die in the land from which I emigrated?" He said: "No, if Allah
wills." He said: "O Messenger of Allah (saw), shall I bequeath all of
my wealth in the cause of Allah?" He said: "No." He said:
"Two-thirds?" He said: "No." He said: "Half of
it?" He said: "No." He said: "One-third of it?" The
Messenger of Allah (saw) said: "One-third, and one-third is a lot. If you
leave your sons independent of means that is better than if you leave them
poor, holding out their hands to people." (Sahih)
3661 It was narrated that Sa'd bin
Abi Waqqas said: "The Messenger of Allah (saw) visited me when I was sick,
and said: 'Have you made a will?' I said: 'Yes.' He said: 'How much?' I said:
'For all of my wealth to be given in the cause of Allah.' He said: 'What have
you left for your children?' I said: 'They are rich (independent of means).' He
said: 'Bequeath one-tenth.' And we kept discussing it until he said: 'Bequeath
one-third, and one-third is much or large.'" (Hasan)
3662 It was narrated from Sa'd
that the Prophet (saw) visited him when he was sick, and he said: "O
Messenger of Allah, shall I bequeath all of my wealth?" He said:
"No." He said: "Half?" He said: "No." He said:
"One-third?" He said: "One-third, and one-third is a much or
large." (Sahih)
3663 It was narrated from 'Aishah
that the Messenger of Allah (saw) came to visit Sa'd (when he was sick). Sa'd
said to him: "O Messenger of Allah, shall I bequeath two-thirds of my
wealth?" He said: "No." He said: "Shall I bequeath
half?" He said: "No." He said: "Shall I bequeath
one-third?" He said: "Yes, one-third, and one-third is much or large.
If you leave your heirs independent of means that is better than if you leave
them poor, holding out their hands." (Hasan)
3664 It was narrated that Ibn
'Abbas said: "If the people were to reduce (their bequests) to one-quarter
(of their wealth, that would be better), because the Messenger of Allah (saw)
said: 'One-third, and one-third is much or large.'" (Sahih)
3665 It was narrated from Muhammad
bin Sa'd, from his father Sa'd bin Malik, that the Prophet (saw) came to him
when he was sick and he said: "I do not have any children apart from one
daughter. Shall I bequeath all my wealth?" The Prophet (saw) said:
"No." He said: "Shall I bequeath half of it?" The Prophet
(saw) said: "No." He said: "Shall I bequeath one-third of
it?" He said: "One-third, and one-third is much or large."
(Sahih)
3666 Jabir bin 'Abdullah narrated
that his father was martyred on the Day of Uhud, and he left behind six
daughters, and some outstanding debts. When the time to pick the dates came, I
went to the Messenger of Allah (saw) and said: "You know that me father
was martyred on the Day of Uhud and he left behind a great deal of debt. I
would like the creditors to see you." He said: "Go and pile up the
dates in separate heaps." I did that, then I called him. When they saw
him, it was as if they started to put pressure on me at that time. When he saw
what they were doing, he went around the biggest heap three times, then he sat
on it then said: "Call your companions (the creditors)." Then he kept
on weighing it out for them, until Allah cleared all of my father's debts. I am
pleased that Allah cleared my father's debts without even a single date being
missed. (Sahih)
3667 It was narrated from Jabir
that his father died owing debts. "I came to the Prophet (saw) and said:
'(O Messenger of Allah!) My father has died owing debts, and he has not left
anything but what his date-palms produce. What his date-palms produce will not
pay off his debts for years. Come with me, O Messenger of Allah, so that the
creditors will not be harsh with me.' The Messenger of Allah (saw) went to each
heap, saying Salams and supplicating for it, then sitting on it. He called the creditors
and paid them off, and what was left was as much as what they had taken."
(Sahih)
3668 It was narrated that Jabir
said: "Abdullah bin 'Amr bin Haram died, leaving behind debts. I asked the
Messenger of Allah (saw) to intercede with his creditors so that they would
waive part of the debt. He asked them to do that but they refused. The Prophet
(saw) said to me: 'Go and sort your dates into different kinds: The 'Ajwah on
one side, the cluster of Ibn Zaid on another side, and so on. Then send for me.'
I did that, then the Messenger of Allah (saw) came and sat at the head or in
the middle of the heaps. Then he said: 'Measure them out for the people.' So I
measured them out for them until I had paid them all off, and my dates were
left as if nothing had been taken from them." (Sahih)
3669 It was narrated that Jabir
bin 'Abdullah said: "My father owed some dates to a Jew. He was killed on
the Day of Uhud and he left behind two gardens. The dates owed to the Jew would
take up everything in the two gardens. The Prophet (saw) said: 'Can you take
half this year and half next year?' But the Jew refused. The Prophet (saw)
said: 'When the time to pick the dates comes, call me.' So I called him and he
came, accompanied by Abu Bakr. The dates were picked and weighed from the
lowest part of the palm-trees, and the Messenger of Allah (saw) was praying for
blessing, until we paid off everything that we owed him from the smaller of the
two gardens, as calculated by 'Ammar. Then I brought them some fresh dates and
water and they ate and drank, then he said: 'This is part of the blessing
concerning which you will be questioned.'" (Sahih)
3670 It was narrated that Jabir
bin 'Abdullah said: "My father died owing debts. I offered to his
creditors that they could take the fruit in lieu of what he owed them, but they
refused as they thought that it would not cover the debt. I went to the
Messenger of Allah (saw) and told him about that. He said: 'When you pick the
dates and have put them in the Mirbad (place for drying dates), call me.' When
I had picked the dates and put them in the Mirbad, I went to the Messenger of
Allah (saw) and he came, accompanied by Abu Bakr and 'Umar. He sat on (the
dates) and prayed for blessing. Then he said: 'Call your creditors and pay them
off.' I did not leave anyone to whom my father owed anything but I paid him
off, and I had thirteen Wasqs left over. I mentioned that to him and he smiled
and said: 'Go to Abu Bakr and 'Umar and tell them about that.' So I went to Abu
Bakr and 'Umar and told them about that, and they said: 'We knew, when the
Messenger of Allah (saw) did what he did, that this would happen.'"
(Sahih)
3671 It was narrated that 'Amr bin
Kharijah said: "The Messenger of Allah (saw) delivered a Khutbah and said:
'Allah has given every person who has rights his due, and there is no bequest
to an heir.'" (Hasan)
3672 It was narrated from Shahr
bin Hawshab that Ibn Ghanm mentioned that Ibn Kharijah told him that he saw the
Messenger of Allah (saw) addressing the people from atop his mount, which was
chewing its cud and its saliva was dripping down. The Messenger of Allah (saw)
said in his Khutbah: "Allah has given each person a share of the
inheritance, and it is not permissible to give bequests to an heir."
(Hasan)
3673 It was narrated that 'Amr bin
Kharijah said: "The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: 'Allah, Mighty is His
Name has given every person who has rights his due, and there is no bequest to
an heir.'" (Hasan)
3674 It was narrated that Abu
Hurairah said: "When the following was revealed: 'And warn your tribe (O
Muhammad) of near kindred,'[26:214] the Messenger of Allah (saw) called the
Quraish and they gathered, and he spoke in general and specific terms, then he
said: 'O Banu Ka'b bin Lu'ayy! O Banu Murrah bin Ka'b! O Banu 'Abd Shams! O
Banu 'Abd Manaf! O Manu Hisham! O Banu 'Abdul-Muttalib! Save yourselves from
the Fire! O Fatimah! Save yourself from the Fire. I cannot avail you anything
before Allah, but I will uphold the ties of kinship with you." (Sahih)
3675 It was narrated that Musa bin
Talhah said: "The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: 'O Banu 'Abd Manaf! Buy
your souls from your Lord. I cannot avail you anything before Allah. Abu Banu
'Abdul-Muttalib! Buy your souls from your Lord. I cannot avail you anything
before Allah. But between me and you there are ties of kinship which I will
uphold.'" (Sahih)
3676 It was narrated that Abu
Hurairah said: "The Messenger of Allah (saw) said, when the Verse: 'And
warn your tribe (O Muhammad) of near kindred.'[26:214] was revealed: 'O Quraish!
Buy your souls from your Lord; I cannot avail you anything before Allah. O Banu
'Abdul-Muttalib! I cannot avail you anything before Allah. O 'Abbas bin
'Abdul-Muttalib! I cannot avail you anything before Allah. O Safiyyah, paternal
aunt of the Messenger of Allah (saw)! I cannot avail you anything before Allah.
O Fatimah bint Muhammad! Ask me for whatever you want, I cannot avail you
anything before Allah.'" (Sahih)
3677 Abu Hurairah said: "The
Messenger of Allah (saw) stood up when the following was revealed to him: 'And
warn your tribe (O Muhammad) of near kindred,'[26:214] and said: 'O Quraish!
Buy your souls from your Lord, I cannot avail you anything before Allah. O Banu
'Abd Manaf! I cannot avail you anything before Allah. O 'Abbas bin 'Abdul-Muttalib! I
cannot avail you anything before Allah. O Safiyyah, paternal aunt of the
Messenger of Allah (saw)! I cannot avail you anything before Allah. O
Fatimah! Ask me for whatever you want, I cannot avail you anything before
Allah.'" (Sahih)
3678 It was narrated that 'Aishah
said: "When this verse - 'And warn your tribe (O Muhammad) of near
kindred'[26:214] - was revealed, the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: 'O Fatimah
daughter of Muhammad! O Safiyyah bint 'Abdul-Muttalib! O Banu 'Abdul-Muttalib! I
cannot avail you anything before Allah; ask me for whatever you want of my
wealth.'" (Sahih)
3679 It was narrated from 'Aishah
that a man said to the Messenger of Allah (saw): My mother died unexpectedly,
if she had been able to speak she would have given charity. Should I give
charity on her behalf?" The Messenger of Allah (saw) said:
"Yes." So he gave charity on her behalf. (Sahih)
3680 It was narrated from Sa'eed
bin 'Amr bin Shurahbil bin Sa'eed bin Sa'd bin 'Ubadah, from his father, that
his grandfather said: "Sa'd bin 'Ubadah went out with the Prophet (saw) on
one of his campaigns, and death came to his mother in Al-Madinah. It was said
to her (as she was dying): 'Make a will.' She said: 'To whom shall I make a
will? The wealth belongs to Sa'd.' Then she died before Sa'd came. When Sa'd
came, he was told about that and he said: 'O Messenger of Allah, will it
benefit her if I give in charity on her behalf?' The Prophet (saw) said: 'Yes.'
Sa'd said: 'Such and such a garden is given in charity on her behalf' -
regarding a garden that he named." (Sahih)
3681 It was narrated from Abu
Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: "When a man dies all his
good deeds come to an end except three: Ongoing charity (Sadaqah Jariyah),
beneficial knowledge and a righteous son who prays for him." (Sahih)
3682 It was narrated from Abu
Hurairah said that a man said to the Prophet (saw): "My father died and
left behind wealth, but he did not leave a will. Will it expiate for him if I
give charity on his behalf?" He said: "Yes." (Sahih)
3683 It was narrated that
Ash-Sharid bin Suwaid Ath-Thaqafi said: "I came to the Messenger of Allah
(saw) and said: 'My mother left a will saying that a slave should be freed on
her behalf. I have a Nubian slave girl; will it suffice if I free her on her
behalf?' He said: 'Bring her here.' The Prophet (saw) said to her: 'Who is your
Lord?' She said: 'Allah.' He said:'Who am I?' She said: 'The Messenger of
Allah.' He said: 'Set her free, for she is a believer.'" (Hasan)
3684 It was narrated from Ibn
'Abbas that Sa'd asked the Prophet (saw): "My mother died and did not
leave a will; shall I give charity on her behalf?" He said:
"Yes." (Sahih)
3685 It was narrated from Ibn
'Abbas that a man said: "O Messenger of Allah, my mother died; will it
benefit her if I give in charity on her behalf?" He said: "Yes."
He said: "I have a garden and I ask you to bear witness that I am giving
it in charity on her behalf." (Sahih)
3686 It was narrated from Sa'd bin
'Ubadah that he came to the Prophet (saw) and said: "My mother has died
and she had a vow to fulfill. Will it suffice if I free a slave on her
behalf?" He said: "Free a slave on behalf of your mother."
(Sahih)
3687 It was narrated from Sa'd bin
'Ubadah that he consulted the Prophet (saw) about a vow which his mother had to
fulfill, but she died before doing so. The Messenger of Allah (saw) said:
"Fulfill it on her behalf." (Sahih)
3688 It was narrated from Sa'd bin
'Ubadah that he consulted the Prophet (saw) about a vow which his mother had to
fulfill, but she died before doing so. The Messenger of Allah (saw) said:
"Fulfill it on her behalf." (Sahih)
3689 It was narrated that Ibn
'Abbas said: "Sa'd consulted the Messenger of Allah (saw) about a vow
which his mother had to fulfill, but she died before doing so. The Messenger of
Allah (saw) said: 'Fulfill it on her behalf.'" (Sahih)
3690 It was narrated that
Al-Harith bin Miskin said, it being read to him while I was listening:
"From Sufyan, from Az-Zuhri, from 'Ubaidullah bin 'Abdullah, from Ibn
'Abbas, that Sa'd bin 'Ubadah consulted the Prophet (saw) about a vow which his
mother had to fulfill, but she died before doing so. The Messenger of Allah
(saw) said: 'Fulfill it on her behalf.'" (Sahih)
3691 Muhammad bin 'Abdullah bin
Yazid said: "Sufyan narrated to us from Az-Zuhri, from 'Ubaidullah bin
'Abdullah, from Ibn 'Abbas, that Sa'd said: 'My mother died and there was an
(outstanding) vow that she had to fulfill. I asked the Prophet (saw) and he
told me to fulfill it on her behalf.'" (Sahih)
3692 It was narrated that Ibn
'Abbas said: "Sa'd bin 'Ubadah Al-Ansari consulted the Messenger of Allah
(saw) about an (outstanding) vow that his mother had to fulfill, but she died
before doing so. The Messenger of Allah (saw) said: 'Fulfill is on her
behalf.'"(Sahih)
3693 It was narrated that Ibn
'Abbas said: Sa'd bin 'Ubadah came to the Prophet (saw) and said: "My
mother has died and she had a vow to fulfill but she did not do so. He said:
'Fulfill it on her behalf.'" (Sahih)
3694 It was narrated that Sa'd bin
'Ubadah said: "I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, my mother has died; shall I
give in charity on her behalf?' He said: 'Yes.' I said: 'What kind of charity
is best?' He said: 'Providing drinking water.'" (Da'if)
3695 It was narrated that Sa'd bin
'Ubadah said: "I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, what kind of charity is
best?' He said: 'Providing drinking water.'" (Da'if)
3696 It was narrated from Sa'd bin
'Ubadah that his mother died. He said: "O Messenger of Allah, my mother
has died; can I give charity on her behalf?" He said: "Yes." He
said: "What kind of charity is best?" He said: "Providing
drinking water." And that is the drinking-fountain of Sa'd in Al-Madinah.
(Da'if)
3697 It was narrated that Abu
Dharr said: "The Messenger of Allah (saw) said to me: 'O Abu Dharr, I
think that you are weak, and I like for you what I like for myself. Do not
accept a position of Amir over two people, and do not agree to be the guardian
of an orphan's property." (Sahih)
3698 It was narrated from 'Amr bin
Shu'aib, from his father, from his grandfather, that a man came to the Prophet
(saw) and said: "I am poor and I do not have anything, and I have an
orphan (under my care)." He said: "Eat from the property of your
orphan without being extravagant, wasteful or keeping it as capital for
yourself." (Hasan)
3699 It was narrated that Ibn
'Abbas said: "When these Verses were revealed - 'And come not near to the
orphan's property, except to improve it,'[6:152] and 'Verily, those who
unjustly eat up the property of orphans'[4:10] - the people avoided the
property and food of the orphans. That caused hardship to the Muslims and they
complained about that to the Prophet (saw). Then Allah revealed: 'And they ask
you concerning orphans. Say: The best thing is to work honestly in their
property, and if you mix your affairs with theirs, then they are your brothers.
And Allah knows him who means mischief (e.g. to swallow their property) from
him who means good (e.g. to save their property). And if Allah had wished, He
could have put you into difficulties."[2:220] (Da'if)
3700 It was narrated that Ibn
'Abbas said - concerning the Verse: "Verily, those who unjustly eat up the
property of orphans"[4:10] - A man would have an orphan in his care, and
he would keep his food, drink and vessels separate. This caused hardship to the
Muslims, so Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, revealed: "And they ask you
concerning orphans. Say: The best thing is to work honestly in their property,
and if you mix your affairs with theirs, then they are your
brothers"[2:220] (in religion), so it is permissible for you to mix with
them. (Hasan)
3701 It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (saw)
said: "Avoid the seven sins that doom one to Hell." It was said:
"O Messenger of Allah, what are they?" He said: "Associating
others with Allah (Shirk), magic, killing a soul whom Allah has forbidden
killing, except in cases dictated by Islamic law, consuming Riba, consuming the
property of orphans, fleeing on the day of the march (to battlefield), and
slandering chaste women who never even think of anything touching their
chastity and are good believers." (Sahih)
