أَخْبَرَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْهُذَيْلِ، وَأَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا عَاصِمُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنُ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنِ الأَسْوَدِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ مَا تَرَكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم دِرْهَمًا وَلاَ دِينَارًا وَلاَ شَاةً وَلاَ بَعِيرًا وَلاَ أَوْصَى. لَمْ يَذْكُرْ جَعْفَرٌ دِينَارًا وَلاَ دِرْهَمًا.

Summary of Sunan an-Nasai Hadith 3623
This hadith records Aishah’s statement that the Messenger of Allah left no dirham, dinar, sheep, camel, or personal will. It also preserves a small difference in transmission: Ja'far did not mention the words “dinar or dirham.” That note matters because it shows careful reporting of the exact wording carried by different narrators. The main topic remains the Prophet Muhammad’s estate and whether he left a will. According to the stated version, he left none of the listed wealth or livestock and made no personal bequest. The narration does not invite speculation beyond that. It teaches readers to pay attention both to the core meaning and to wording differences in a hadith report, especially when a narrator’s version omits a specific phrase.
What we learn from this hadith
- Aishah states that the Prophet left no listed wealth, livestock, or will.
- The report openly notes a wording difference between narrators.
- Exact wording matters when reading and sharing hadith.
- The main meaning remains clear despite the noted omission.
