English narration
Narrated by جابر بن عبد الله الأنصاري
Narrated Jabir ibn Abdullah: I fell ill, and I had seven sisters. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to me and blew on my face. So I became conscious. I said: Messenger of Allah, may I not bequeath one-third of my property to my sisters? He replied: Do good. I asked: Half? He replied: Do good. He then went out and left me, and said: I do not think, Jabir, you will die of this disease. Allah has revealed (verses) and described the share of your sisters. He appointed two-thirds for them. Jabir used to say: This verse was revealed about me: "They ask thee for a legal decision. Say: Allah directs (thus) about those who leave no descendants or ascendants as heirs.

حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا كَثِيرُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ يَعْنِي الدَّسْتُوَائِيَّ ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ ، قَالَ : اشْتَكَيْتُ وَعِنْدِي سَبْعُ أَخَوَاتٍ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَنَفَخَ فِي وَجْهِي فَأَفَقْتُ ، فَقُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَلَا أُوصِي لِأَخَوَاتِي بِالثُّلُثِ ، قَالَ : أَحْسِنْ ، قُلْتُ الشَّطْرَ ، قَالَ : أَحْسِنْ ، ثُمَّ خَرَجَ وَتَرَكَنِي فَقَالَ : يَا جَابِرُ لَا أُرَاكَ مَيِّتًا مِنْ وَجَعِكَ هَذَا ، وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ أَنْزَلَ فَبَيَّنَ الَّذِي لِأَخَوَاتِكَ فَجَعَلَ لَهُنَّ الثُّلُثَيْنِ ، قَالَ : فَكَانَ جَابِرٌ يَقُولُ : أُنْزِلَتْ هَذِهِ الآيَةُ فِيَّ يَسْتَفْتُونَكَ قُلِ اللَّهُ يُفْتِيكُمْ فِي الْكَلالَةِ سورة النساء آية 176 .
