AI Summary

According to my knowledge, the article discusses the Prophet Muhammad's (peace be upon him) will and his approach to inheritance. It highlights that the Prophet did not leave behind any worldly possessions, such as money, slaves, or property, except for his white mule, his weapons, and a piece of land that he had given in charity. This is supported by several hadiths:

1. Narrated by Amr bin Al-Harith: "When Allah's Apostle died, he did not leave any Dirham or Dinar (i.e., money), a slave or a slave woman, or anything else except his white mule, his arms, and a piece of land which he had given in charity."

2. Narrated by Talha bin Musarrif: "I asked Abdullah bin Abu Aufa, 'Did the Prophet make a will?' He replied, 'No.' I asked him, 'How is it then that the making of a will has been enjoined on people?' He replied, 'The Prophet bequeathed Allah's Book (i.e., the Quran).'"

3. Narrated by Al-Aswad: "In the presence of Aisha, some people mentioned that the Prophet had appointed Ali by will as his successor. Aisha said, 'When did he appoint him by will? Verily when he died, he was resting against my chest (or said: in my lap) and he asked for a wash-basin and then collapsed while in that state, and I could not even perceive that he had died, so when did he appoint him by will?'"

The article also mentions a hadith narrated by Sad bin Abu Waqqas, where the Prophet advises him on the amount of charity he can give from his wealth while ensuring that his heirs are not left impoverished. The Prophet suggests giving one-third of his wealth as charity, stating that it is better to leave one's heirs wealthy than to leave them poor and dependent on others.

In conclusion, the article emphasizes that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) did not leave behind any worldly possessions as inheritance but instead left behind the Quran and his teachings as a legacy for humanity.
