حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّی قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ جَائَتْ فَاطِمَةُ إِلَی أَبِي بَکْرٍ فَقَالَتْ مَنْ يَرِثُکَ فَقَالَ أَهْلِي وَوَلَدِي فَقَالَتْ مَا لِي لا أَرِثُ أَبِي فَقَالَ أَبُو بَکْرٍ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صلی الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ لا نُورَثُ وَلَکِنِّي أَعُولُ مَنْ کَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صلی الله عليه وسلم يَعُولُهُ وَأُنْفِقُ عَلَی مَنْ کَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صلی الله عليه وسلم يُنْفِقُ عَلَيْهِ

Abu Hurayrah Radiyallahu 'Anhu reports that Faatimah (Radiyallahu 'Anha) came to Abubakr (Siddique Radiyallahu 'Anhu) and asked him who his heirs were. He replied: ''My wife and children''. (Faatimah Radiyallahu 'Anha asked:) ''Then why did I not become heir to my fathers estate?'' Abubakr (Siddique Radiyallahu 'Anhu) Said: ''I heard the command of Rasulullah Sallallhu 'Alayhi Wasallam, that we do not leave any heirs. But (I being a guardian of the waqf) for those whom Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam had decreed a daily allowance, I will continue to grant it. And on whom Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam used to spend. I will contnue to spend''.
