Jami` at-Tirmidhi: Book 29, Hadith 7

Jabir bin ‘Abdullah said: “The Messenger of Allah(S.A.W) came to visit me while I was ill at Banu Salamah. I said : ‘O Prophet of Allah(S.A.W)! How shall I divide my wealth among my children?’ But he did not say anything to me, until the following was revealed: Allah commands you regarding your children’s (inheritance): to the male, a portion equal to that of two females.”

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، قال حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ أَبِي قَيْسٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ جَاءَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَعُودُنِي وَأَنَا مَرِيضٌ فِي بَنِي سَلِمَةَ فَقُلْتُ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ كَيْفَ أَقْسِمُ مَالِي بَيْنَ وَلَدِي فَلَمْ يَرُدَّ عَلَىَّ شَيْئًا فَنَزَلَتْ ‏:‏ ‏(‏يُوصِيكُمُ اللَّهُ فِي أَوْلاَدِكُمْ لِلذَّكَرِ مِثْلُ حَظِّ الأُنْثَيَيْنِ ‏)‏ الآيَةَ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ ‏.‏ وَقَدْ رَوَاهُ شُعْبَةُ وَابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ وَغَيْرُهُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ.‏
