English narration
Narrated by جابر بن عبد الله الأنصاري
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) came to visit me while I was sick and unconscious. He performed ablution and sprinkled the remaining water on me and I became conscious and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! To whom will my inheritance go as I have neither ascendants nor descendants?" Then the Divine verses regarding Fara'id (inheritance) were revealed.
النص العربي
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ جَابِرًا ، يَقُولُ : جَاءَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَعُودُنِي وَأَنَا مَرِيضٌ لَا أَعْقِلُ ، "
فَتَوَضَّأَ وَصَبَّ عَلَيَّ مِنْ وَضُوئِهِ
" ، فَعَقَلْتُ ، فَقُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، لِمَنِ الْمِيرَاثُ ؟ إِنَّمَا يَرِثُنِي كَلَالَةٌ ، فَنَزَلَتْ آيَةُ الْفَرَائِضِ .
