Sunan an-NasaiHadith Number 3596

أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْحَنَفِيُّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَمْرَو بْنَ الْحَارِثِ، يَقُولُ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم مَا تَرَكَ إِلاَّ بَغْلَتَهُ الشَّهْبَاءَ وَسِلاَحَهُ وَأَرْضًا تَرَكَهَا صَدَقَةً ‏.‏

Yunus bin Abi Ishaq Narrated from:

Yunus bin Abi Ishaq narrated that his father said: "I heard 'Amr bin Al-Harith say: 'I saw the Messenger of Allah and he left nothing behind except his white mule, his weapon and some land which he left as a charity.'"

Summary of Sunan an-Nasai Hadith 3596

This narration again records what the Messenger of Allah left behind. Yunus ibn Abi Ishaq reports from his father, who heard Amr ibn Al-Harith say that he saw the Messenger of Allah and that the Prophet left only his white mule, his weapon, and some land as charity. The core topic is the Prophetic estate. The hadith is valuable because it repeats the same simple list through another chain of narration. It does not mention cash, houses, or other private wealth in this wording. The explanation should therefore stay with the stated items and the charitable use of the land. For readers searching for what Prophet Muhammad left behind, this report gives a direct answer in three parts: a mule, a weapon, and land left for charity.

What we learn from this hadith

  • The narration names only a white mule, a weapon, and charity land.
  • The land was not kept as personal wealth in the report.
  • A repeated transmission supports the same simple description.
