When `Abdullah (my father) died, he left behind children and debts. I asked the lenders to put down
some of his debt, but they refused, so I went to the Prophet (ﷺ) to intercede with them, yet they refused.
The Prophet (ﷺ) said (to me), "Classify your dates into their different kinds: 'Adha bin Zaid, Lean and
'Ajwa, each kind alone and call all the creditors and wait till I come to you." I did so and the Prophet (ﷺ)
came and sat beside the dates and started measuring to each his due till he paid them fully, and the
amount of dates remained as it was before, as if he had not touched them.
(On another occasion) I took part in one of Ghazawat among with the Prophet (ﷺ) and I was riding one of
our camels. The camel got tired and was lagging behind the others. The Prophet (ﷺ) hit it on its back. He
said, "Sell it to me, and you have the right to ride it till Medina.'' When we approached Medina, I took
the permission from the Prophet (ﷺ) to go to my house, saying, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! I have newly
married." The Prophet (ﷺ) asked, "Have you married a virgin or a matron (a widow or divorcee)?" I said,
"I have married a matron, as `Abdullah (my father) died and left behind daughters small in their ages,
so I married a matron who may teach them and bring them up with good manners." The Prophet (ﷺ) then
said (to me), "Go to your family." When I went there and told my maternal uncle about the selling of
the camel, he admonished me for it. On that I told him about its slowness and exhaustion and about
what the Prophet (ﷺ) had done to the camel and his hitting it. When the Prophet (ﷺ) arrived, I went to him
with the camel in the morning and he gave me its price, the camel itself, and my share from the war
booty as he gave the other people.
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 43, Hadith 21
Malik said, "The generally agreed on way of doing things among us
in which there is no dispute and which I saw the people of knowledge
in our citydoing, is that the child of the half-sibling by the mother,
the paternal grandfather, the paternal uncle who is the maternal half-
brother of the father, the maternal uncle, the great-grandmother who
is the mother of the mother's father, the daughter of the full-
brother, the paternal aunt, and the maternal aunt do not inherit
anything by their kinship."
Malik said, "The woman who is the
furthest relation of the deceased of those who were named in this
book, does not inherit anything by her kinship, and women do not
inherit anything apart from those that are named in the Quran. Allah,
the Blessed, the Exalted, mentioned in His Book the inheritance ofthe
mother from her children, the inheritance of the daughters from their
father, the inheritance of the wife from her husband, the inheritance
of the full sisters, the inheritance of the half-sisters by the father
and the inheritance of the half-sisters by the mother. The grandmother
is made an heir by the example of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, made about her. A woman inherits from a slave she
frees herself because Allah, the Blessed, the Exalted, said in His
Book, 'They are your brothers in the deen and your mawali.' "
