حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ أَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُنْکَدِرِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ يَقُولُا دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَنَا مَرِيضٌ لَا أَعْقِلُ فَتَوَضَّأَ فَصَبُّوا عَلَيَّ مِنْ وَضُوئِهِ فَعَقَلْتُ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّمَا يَرِثُنِي کَلَالَةٌ فَنَزَلَتْ آيَةُ الْمِيرَاثِ فَقُلْتُ لِمُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْکَدِرِ يَسْتَفْتُونَکَ قُلْ اللَّهُ يُفْتِيکُمْ فِي الْکَلَالَةِ قَالَ هَکَذَا أُنْزِلَتْ
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 4148
Jabir b. 'Abdullah (Allah be pleased with them) reported: While I had been ill Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) visited me and Abu akr (Allah be pleased with him) was with him, and they both came walking on foot. He (the Holy Prophet) found me unconscious. Allahs Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) performed ablution and then sprinkled over me the water of his ablution. I felt relieved regained my consciousness) and found Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) there. I said: Allah's Messenger, what should I do with my property? He gave me no reply until the verse (iv. 177) relating to the law of inheritance was revealed.
