Chapter 3 “Our property is not to be inherited, and whatever we leave is Sadaqa.”

Sahih al-Bukhari 6729
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “Not even a single Dinar of my property should be distributed (after my deaths to
my inheritors, but whatever I leave excluding the provision for my wives and my servants, should be
spent in charity.”
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ” لاَ يَقْتَسِمُ وَرَثَتِي دِينَارًا، مَا تَرَكْتُ بَعْدَ نَفَقَةِ نِسَائِي وَمُؤْنَةِ عَامِلِي فَهْوَ صَدَقَةٌ ”.
