حديث جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ، قَالَ: مَرِضْتُ مَرَضًا فَأَتَانِي النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَعُودُنِي وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ، وَهُمَا مَاشِيَانِ، فَوَجَدَانِي أُغْمِيَ عَلَيَّ، فَتَوَضَّأَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ، ثُمَّ صَبَّ وَضُوءَهُ عَلَيَّ، فَأَفَقْتُ، فَإِذَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ كَيْفَ أَصْنَعُ فِي مَالِي كَيْفَ أَقْضِي فِي مَالي فَلَمْ يُجِبْنِي بِشَيْءٍ حَتَّى نَزَلَتْ آيَةُ الْمِيرَاثِ.
Jabir bin `Abdullah Narrated from:
Once I fell ill. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and Abû Bakr came walking to pay me a visit and found me unconscious. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم performed ablution and then poured the remaining water on me, and I came to my senses to see the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم, I said, "O Allâh's Messenger! What shall I do with my property? How shall I dispose of (distribute) my property?" He did not reply till the Verse of inheritance was revealed. ( Sahih Al-Bukhâri, Hadîth No. 554, Vol. 7)
