حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْخَلالُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ عُمَرَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ مَالِکَ بْنَ أَنَسٍ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ مَالِکِ بْنِ أَوْسِ بْنِ الْحَدَثَانِ قَالَ دَخَلْتُ عَلَی عُمَرَ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ وَطَلْحَةُ وَسَعْدٌ وَجَائَ عَلِيٌّ وَالْعَبَّاسُ يَخْتَصِمَانِ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ عُمَرُ أَنْشُدُکُمْ بِالَّذِي بِإِذْنِهِ تَقُومُ السَّمَائُ وَالأَرْضُ أَتَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صلی الله عليه وسلم قَالَ لا نُورَثُ مَا تَرَکْنَاهُ صَدَقَةٌ فَقَالُوا اللَّهُمَّ نَعَمْ وَفِي الْحَدِيثِ قِصَّةٌ طَوِيلَةٌ

Maalik bin Aws bin Al-Hadthaan says: ''I attended the assembly of 'Umar Radiyallahu 'Anhu, At that time 'Abdurrahmaan bin 'Awf Radiyallahu 'Anhu and Sa'd bin Abi Waqqaas Radiyallahu 'Anhu were also present. (After a little while) 'Abbaas Radiyaalhu 'Anhu and Ali Radiyallahu 'Anhu came to solve a disagreement. 'Umar Radiyallhu 'Anhu said to them: 'I swear an oath by the One with whose command the skies and earth function, and I ask you, do you know of the saying of Rasulullah Sallallhu 'Alayhi Wasallam that we (the ambiyaa-prophets), do not make anybody our heirs. Whatever wealth we leave behind, is all left as sadaqah'. All those present replied: 'Verily true'. This hadith has a long story.
