Chapter 34 · The Book Of Jihad And Expeditionsقَوْلِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم " لاَ نُورَثُ مَا تَرَكْنَا فَهُوَ صَدَقَةٌ "
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، قَالَ قَرَأْتُ عَلَى مَالِكٍ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ إِنَّ أَزْوَاجَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم حِينَ تُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَرَدْنَ أَنْ يَبْعَثْنَ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ إِلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ فَيَسْأَلْنَهُ مِيرَاثَهُنَّ مِنَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ لَهُنَّ أَلَيْسَ قَدْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم لاَ نُورَثُ مَا تَرَكْنَا فَهُوَ صَدَقَةٌ.

The words of the Prophet (saws): "We (Prophets) have no heirs and whatever we leave behind is charity."
When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) passed away, his wives made up their minds to send 'Uthman bin 'Affan رصی اﷲ عنہ (as their spokesman) to Abu Bakr رصی اﷲ عنہ to demand from him their share from the legacy of the Prophet (ﷺ). (At this), A'isha رصی اﷲ عنہا said to them: Hasn't the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: We (Prophets) do not have any heirs; what we leave behind is (to be given in) charity?
