حَدَّثَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ الْبَغْدَادِيُّ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُنْکَدِرِ سَمِعَ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ مَرِضْتُ فَأَتَانِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَعُودُنِي فَوَجَدَنِي قَدْ أُغْمِيَ عَلَيَّ فَأَتَی وَمَعَهُ أَبُو بَکْرٍ وَعُمَرُ وَهُمَا مَاشِيَانِ فَتَوَضَّأَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَصَبَّ عَلَيَّ مِنْ وَضُوئِهِ فَأَفَقْتُ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ کَيْفَ أَقْضِي فِي مَالِي أَوْ کَيْفَ أَصْنَعُ فِي مَالِي فَلَمْ يُجِبْنِي شَيْئًا وَکَانَ لَهُ تِسْعُ أَخَوَاتٍ حَتَّی نَزَلَتْ آيَةُ الْمِيرَاثِ يَسْتَفْتُونَکَ قُلْ اللَّهُ يُفْتِيکُمْ فِي الْکَلَالَةِ الْآيَةَ قَالَ جَابِرٌ فِيَّ نَزَلَتْ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَی هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ
جامع ترمذی · Hadith 2097
Jabir bin 'Abdullah said: I was ill, so the Messenger of Allah(S.A.W)came to visit me and found me unconscious. He came walking while Abu Bakr and 'Umar were with him. The Messenger of Allah(S.A.W) performed Wudu, then poured the remaining water on me, so I came to my senses. I said: 'O Messenger of Allah(S.A.W)! how shall I dispose of my wealth?' - or - 'What shall I do with my wealth?' He did not reply anything to me -and he had nine sisters- until the Ayah about the inheritance was revealed: they ask you for a legal verdict. Say: Allah directs (thus) about Al-Kalalah. Jabir said: It was revealed regarding me.
