Sahih al-Bukhari — Wills and Testaments

Abu 'Abdur-Rahman narrated:When 'Uthman (ra) was circled (by the rebels), he looked upon them from above and said, "I ask you by Allah, I ask nobody but the Companions of the Prophet (ﷺ), don't you know that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, 'Whoever will (buy and) dig the well of Ruma will be granted Paradise,' and I (bought and) dug it? Don't you know that he said. 'Whoever equip the army of 'Usra (i.e., Tabuk's Ghazwa) will be granted Paradise,' and I equipped it ?" They attested whatever he said. When 'Umar founded his endowment he said, "Its administrator can eat from it." The management of the endowment can be taken over by the founder himself or any other person, for both cases are permissible

وقال عبدان اخبرني ابي، عن شعبة، عن ابي اسحاق، عن ابي عبد الرحمن، ان عثمان رضى الله عنه حيث حوصر اشرف عليهم وقال انشدكم ولا انشد الا اصحاب النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم، الستم تعلمون ان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال " من حفر رومة فله الجنة ". فحفرتها، الستم تعلمون انه قال " من جهز جيش العسرة فله الجنة ". فجهزتهم. قال فصدقوه بما قال. وقال عمر في وقفه لا جناح على من وليه ان ياكل. وقد يليه الواقف وغيره فهو واسع لكل

حدثنا مسدد، حدثنا عبد الوارث، عن ابي التياح، عن انس رضى الله عنه قال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم " يا بني النجار ثامنوني بحايطكم ". قالوا لا نطلب ثمنه الا الى الله

Ibn 'Abbas (ra) said, "A man from the tribe of Bani Sahm went out in the company of Tamim Ad-Dari and 'Adi bin Badda'. The man of Bani Sahm died in a land where there was no Muslim. When Tamim and 'Adi returned conveying the property of the deceased, they claimed that they had lost a silver bowl with gold engraving. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) made them take an oath (to confirm their claim), and then the bowl was found in Makkah with some people who claimed that they had bought it from Tamim and 'Adi. Then two witnesses from the relatives of the deceased got up and swore that their witnesses were more valid than the witnesses of 'Adi and Tamim, and that the bowl belonged to their deceased fellow. So, this verse was revealed in connection with this case: 'O you who believe! When death approached any of you ...'," (V 5:)

وقال لي علي بن عبد الله حدثنا يحيى بن ادم، حدثنا ابن ابي زايدة، عن محمد بن ابي القاسم، عن عبد الملك بن سعيد بن جبير، عن ابيه، عن ابن عباس رضى الله عنهما قال خرج رجل من بني سهم مع تميم الداري وعدي بن بداء فمات السهمي بارض ليس بها مسلم، فلما قدما بتركته فقدوا جاما من فضة مخوصا من ذهب، فاحلفهما رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، ثم وجد الجام بمكة فقالوا ابتعناه من تميم وعدي. فقام رجلان من اوليايه، فحلفا لشهادتنا احق من شهادتهما، وان الجام لصاحبهم. قال وفيهم نزلت هذه الاية {يا ايها الذين امنوا شهادة بينكم اذا حضر احدكم الموت}

Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah Al-Ansari:My father was martyred on the day (of the Ghazwa) of Uhud and left six daughters and some debts to be paid. When the time of plucking the date-fruits came, I went to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and said, "O Allah's Apostle! you know that my father was martyred on Uhud's day and owed much debt, and I wish that the creditors would see you." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Go and collect the various kinds of dates and place them separately in heaps"' I did accordingly and called him. On seeing him, the creditors started claiming their rights pressingly at that time. When the Prophet (ﷺ) saw how they behaved, he went round the biggest heap for three times and sat over it and said, "Call your companions (i.e. the creditors)." Then he kept on measuring and giving them, till Allah cleared all my father's debts. By Allah, it would have pleased me that Allah would clear the debts of my father even though I had not taken a single date to my sisters. But by Allah, all the heaps were complete, (as they were) and I looked at the heap where Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was sitting and noticed as if not a single date had been taken thereof

حدثنا محمد بن سابق، او الفضل بن يعقوب عنه حدثنا شيبان ابو معاوية، عن فراس، قال قال الشعبي حدثني جابر بن عبد الله الانصاري رضى الله عنهما ان اباه استشهد يوم احد، وترك ست بنات، وترك عليه دينا، فلما حضر جداد النخل اتيت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فقلت يا رسول الله قد علمت ان والدي استشهد يوم احد وترك عليه دينا كثيرا، واني احب ان يراك الغرماء قال " اذهب فبيدر كل تمر على ناحيته ". ففعلت ثم دعوته، فلما نظروا اليه اغروا بي تلك الساعة، فلما راى ما يصنعون اطاف حول اعظمها بيدرا ثلاث مرات ثم جلس عليه ثم قال " ادع اصحابك ". فما زال يكيل لهم حتى ادى الله امانة والدي، وانا والله راض ان يودي الله امانة والدي ولا ارجع الى اخواتي بتمرة، فسلم والله البيادر كلها حتى اني انظر الى البيدر الذي عليه رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم كانه لم ينقص تمرة واحدة. قال ابو عبد الله اغروا بي يعني هيجوا بي فاغرينا بينهم العداوة والبغضاء
