Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "It is not permissible for any Muslim who has something to will to stay for two
nights without having his last will and testament written and kept ready with him."

Narrated `Amr bin Al-Harith:
(The brother of the wife of Allah's Messenger. Juwaira bint Al-Harith) When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) 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 .

Al-Wasaya
Narrated Talha bin Musarrif:
I asked `Abdullah bin Abu `Aufa "Did the Prophet (ﷺ) make a will?" He replied, "No," I asked him, "How
is it then that the making of a will has been enjoined on people, (or that they are ordered to make a
will)?" He replied, "The Prophet (ﷺ) bequeathed Allah's Book (i.e. Qur'an).
حَدَّثَنَا خَلاَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ حَدَّثَنَا طَلْحَةُ بْنُ مُصَرِّفٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ أَبِي أَوْفَى ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ هَلْ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَوْصَى فَقَالَ لاَ فَقُلْتُ كَيْفَ كُتِبَ عَلَى النَّاسِ الْوَصِيَّةُ أَوْ أُمِرُوا بِالْوَصِيَّةِ قَالَ أَوْصَى بِكِتَابِ اللَّهِ
Al-Wasaya
Narrated Al-Aswad:
In the presence of `Aisha some people mentioned that the Prophet (ﷺ) 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?"
حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ زُرَارَةَ أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ عَنِ ابْنِ عَوْنٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنِ الأَسْوَدِ قَالَ ذَكَرُوا عِنْدَ عَائِشَةَ أَنَّ عَلِيًّا ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ كَانَ وَصِيًّا فَقَالَتْ مَتَى أَوْصَى إِلَيْهِ وَقَدْ كُنْتُ مُسْنِدَتَهُ إِلَى صَدْرِي ـ أَوْ قَالَتْ حَجْرِي ـ فَدَعَا بِالطَّسْتِ فَلَقَدِ انْخَنَثَ فِي حَجْرِي فَمَا شَعَرْتُ أَنَّهُ قَدْ مَاتَ فَمَتَى أَوْصَى إِلَيْهِ
To leave inheritors wealthy than begging others
Narrated Sa`d bin Abu Waqqas:
The Prophet (ﷺ) came visiting me while I was (sick) in Mecca, ('Amir the sub-narrator said, and he
disliked to die in the land, whence he had already migrated). He (i.e. the Prophet) said, "May Allah
bestow His Mercy on Ibn Afra (Sa`d bin Khaula)." I said, "O Allah's Messenger! May I will all my
property (in charity)?" He said, "No." I said, "Then may I will half of it?" He said, "No". I said, "One
third?" He said: "Yes, one third, yet even one third is too much. It is better for you to leave your
inheritors wealthy than to leave them poor begging others, and whatever you spend for Allah's sake
will be considered as a charitable deed even the handful of food you put in your wife's mouth. Allah
may lengthen your age so that some people may benefit by you, and some others be harmed by you."
At that time Sa`d had only one daughter.

To will one-third of one's property
Narrated Ibn `Abbas:
I recommend that people reduce the proportion of what they bequeath by will to the fourth (of the
whole legacy), for Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "One-third, yet even one third is too much."
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ لَوْ غَضَّ النَّاسُ إِلَى الرُّبْعِ لأَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ الثُّلُثُ وَالثُّلُثُ كَثِيرٌ أَوْ كَبِيرٌ
To will one-third of one's property
Narrated Sa`d:
I fell sick and the Prophet (ﷺ) paid me a visit. I said to him, "O Allah's Messenger! I invoke Allah that He
may not let me expire in the land whence I migrated (i.e. Mecca)." He said, "May Allah give you
health and let the people benefit by you." I said, "I want to will my property, and I have only one
daughter and I want to will half of my property (to be given in charity)." He said," Half is too much." I
said, "Then I will one third." He said, "One-third, yet even one-third is too much." (The narrator
added, "So the people started to will one third of their property and that was Permitted for them.")
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحِيمِ حَدَّثَنَا زَكَرِيَّاءُ بْنُ عَدِيٍّ حَدَّثَنَا مَرْوَانُ عَنْ هَاشِمِ بْنِ هَاشِمٍ عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ مَرِضْتُ فَعَادَنِي النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ادْعُ اللَّهَ أَنْ لاَ يَرُدَّنِي عَلَى عَقِبِي قَالَ لَعَلَّ اللَّهَ يَرْفَعُكَ وَيَنْفَعُ بِكَ نَاسًا قُلْتُ أُرِيدُ أَنْ أُوصِيَ وَإِنَّمَا لِي ابْنَةٌ ـ قُلْتُ ـ أُوصِي بِالنِّصْفِ قَالَ النِّصْفُ كَثِيرٌ قُلْتُ فَالثُّلُثِ قَالَ الثُّلُثُ وَالثُّلُثُ كَثِيرٌ أَوْ كَبِيرٌ قَالَ فَأَوْصَى النَّاسُ بِالثُّلُثِ وَجَازَ ذَلِكَ لَهُمْ
The saying of a testator to the executor, "Look after my son,"
Narrated `Aisha:
(the wife of the Prophet) `Utba bin Abi Waqqas entrusted (his son) to his brother Sa`d bin Abi
Waqqas saying, "The son of the slave-girl of Zam`a is my (illegal) son, take him into your custody."
So during the year of the Conquest (of Mecca) Sa`d took the boy and said, "This is my brother's son
whom my brother entrusted to me." 'Abu bin Zam's got up and said, "He is my brother and the son of
the slave girl of my father and was born on my father's bed." Then both of them came to Allah's
Apostle and Sa`d said, "O Allah's Messenger! This is my brother's son whom my brother entrusted to
me."
Then 'Abu bin Zam`a got up and said, "This is my brother and the son of the slave-girl of my father."
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "O Abu bin Zam`a! This boy is for you as the boy belongs to the bed (where he
was born), and for the adulterer is the stone (i.e. deprivation)." Then the Prophet (ﷺ) said to his wife
Sauda bint Zam`a, "Screen yourself from this boy," when he saw the boy's resemblance to `Utba.
Since then the boy did not see Sauda till he died.

If a patient gives an evident clear sign by nodding
Narrated Anas:
A Jew crushed the head of a girl between two stones. She was asked, "Who has done so to you, soand-
so? So-and-so?" Till the name of the Jew was mentioned, whereupon she nodded (in agreement).
So the Jew was brought and was questioned till he confessed. The Prophet (ﷺ) then ordered that his head
be crushed with stones.
حَدَّثَنَا حَسَّانُ بْنُ أَبِي عَبَّادٍ حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ أَنَسٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ أَنَّ يَهُوِدِيًّا رَضَّ رَأْسَ جَارِيَةٍ بَيْنَ حَجَرَيْنِ فَقِيلَ لَهَا مَنْ فَعَلَ بِكِ أَفُلاَنٌ أَوْ فُلاَنٌ حَتَّى سُمِّيَ الْيَهُودِيُّ فَأَوْمَأَتْ بِرَأْسِهَا فَجِيءَ بِهِ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ حَتَّى اعْتَرَفَ فَأَمَرَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَرُضَّ رَأْسُهُ بِالْحِجَارَةِ
A legal heir has no right to inherit through a will
Narrated Ibn `Abbas:
The custom (in old days) was that the property of the deceased would be inherited by his offspring; as
for the parents (of the deceased), they would inherit by the will of the deceased. Then Allah cancelled
from that custom whatever He wished and fixed for the male double the amount inherited by the
female, and for each parent a sixth (of the whole legacy) and for the wife an eighth or a fourth and for
the husband a half or a fourth.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ عَنْ وَرْقَاءَ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَجِيحٍ عَنْ عَطَاءٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ كَانَ الْمَالُ لِلْوَلَدِ وَكَانَتِ الْوَصِيَّةُ لِلْوَالِدَيْنِ فَنَسَخَ اللَّهُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ مَا أَحَبَّ فَجَعَلَ لِلذَّكَرِ مِثْلَ حَظِّ الأُنْثَيَيْنِ وَجَعَلَ لِلأَبَوَيْنِ لِكُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا السُّدُسَ وَجَعَلَ لِلْمَرْأَةِ الثُّمُنَ وَالرُّبْعَ وَلِلزَّوْجِ الشَّطْرَ وَالرُّبُعَ
Giving in charity at the time of death
Narrated Abu Huraira:
A man asked the Prophet, "O Allah's Messenger! What kind of charity is the best?" He replied. "To give
in charity when you are healthy and greedy hoping to be wealthy and afraid of becoming poor. Don't
delay giving in charity till the time when you are on the death bed when you say, 'Give so much to soand-
so and so much to so-and so,' and at that time the property is not yours but it belongs to so-and-so
(i.e. your inheritors).

The Statement of Allah aza'wajal: "... After the payment of legacies he may have bequeathed or debts..."
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "The signs of a hypocrite are three: Whenever he speaks he tells a lie; whenever he
is entrusted he proves dishonest; whenever he promises he breaks his promise."
حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ أَبُو الرَّبِيعِ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا نَافِعُ بْنُ مَالِكِ بْنِ أَبِي عَامِرٍ أَبُو سُهَيْلٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ آيَةُ الْمُنَافِقِ ثَلاَثٌ إِذَا حَدَّثَ كَذَبَ وَإِذَا اؤْتُمِنَ خَانَ وَإِذَا وَعَدَ أَخْلَفَ
The explanantion of the Statement of Allah Taa'la: "... After payment of legacies that they may have bequeathed or debts..."
Narrated `Urwa bin Az-Zubair:
Hakim bin Hizam said, "I asked Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) for something, and he gave me, and I asked him again
and he gave me and said, 'O Hakim! This wealth is green and sweet (i.e. as tempting as fruits), and
whoever takes it without greed then he is blessed in it, and whoever takes it with greediness, he is not
blessed in it and he is like one who eats and never gets satisfied.
The upper (i.e. giving) hand is better than the lower (i.e. taking) hand." Hakim added, "I said, O
Allah's Messenger! By Him Who has sent you with the Truth I will never demand anything from
anybody after you till I die." Afterwards Abu Bakr used to call Hakim to give him something but he
refused to accept anything from him. Then `Umar called him to give him (something) but he refused.
Then `Umar said, "O Muslims! I offered to him (i.e. Hakim) his share which Allah has ordained for
him from this booty and he refuses to take it." Thus Hakim did not ask anybody for anything after the
Prophet, till he died--may Allah bestow His mercy upon him.

The explanantion of the Statement of Allah Taa'la: "... After payment of legacies that they may have bequeathed or debts..."
Narrated Ibn `Umar:
I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saying, "All of you are guardians and responsible for your charges: the Ruler
(i.e. Imam) is a guardian and responsible for his subjects; and a man is a guardian of his family and is
responsible for his charges; and a lady is a guardian in the house of her husband and is responsible for
her charge; and a servant is a guardian of the property of his master and is responsible for his charge."
I think he also said, "And a man is a guardian of the property of his father."

If somebody founds an endowment (or bequeathes) his relatives by a will
Narrated Anas:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said to Abu Talha, "I recommend that you divide (this garden) amongst your relatives."
Abu Talha said, "O Allah's Messenger! I will do the same." So Abu Talha divided it among his relatives
and cousins.
Ibn 'Abbes said, "When the Qur'anic Verse:
"Warn your nearest kinsmen." (26.214)
Was revealed, the Prophet (ﷺ) started calling the various big families of Quraish, "O Bani Fihr! O Bani
Adi!".
Abu Huraira said, "When the Verse: "Warn your nearest kinsmen" was revealed, the Prophet (ﷺ) said (in a
loud voice), "O people of Quraish!"
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَنَسًا ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم لأَبِي طَلْحَةَ أَرَى أَنْ تَجْعَلَهَا فِي الأَقْرَبِينَ قَالَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ أَفْعَلُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَقَسَمَهَا أَبُو طَلْحَةَ فِي أَقَارِبِهِ وَبَنِي عَمِّهِ وَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ [ 26 214 214]وَأَنْذِرْ عَشِيرَتَكَ الأَقْرَبِينَ جَعَلَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يُنَادِي يَا بَنِي فِهْرٍ يَا بَنِي عَدِيٍّ لِبُطُونِ قُرَيْشٍ وَقَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ [ 26 214 214]وَأَنْذِرْ عَشِيرَتَكَ الأَقْرَبِينَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَا مَعْشَرَ قُرَيْشٍ
Are children and women included under the term of relatives (concerning wills)
Narrated Abu Huraira:
When Allah revealed the Verse: "Warn your nearest kinsmen," Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) got up and said, "O
people of Quraish (or said similar words)! Buy (i.e. save) yourselves (from the Hellfire) as I cannot
save you from Allah's Punishment; O Bani `Abd Manaf! I cannot save you from Allah's Punishment,
