DECLARATION THAT THE PROPHET DID NOT LEAVE A DINAR
Declaration that the prophet did not leave a dinar, nor dirham, or slave boy, or slave girl, or sheep, or camel and nothing else which is inherited.
Rather, he left a piece of land all of which he gave in charity for the sake of Allah. For, verily, the world in its totality is not worthy in his sight – as it is with Allah – to strive for or leave after him as a charity, may the prayers of Allah and peace be upon him and his brothers from the Prophets and Messengers, and many salutations forever till the Day of Judgment.
Al-Bukhari narrated: From Amr Ibn Al-Harith, who said: The Messenger of Allah did not leave a Dinar, nor Dirham, nor slave boy, nor slave except for his white mule which he used to ride, and his weapons and land that he gave to the wayfarers in charity.
‘A’ishah (May Allah be pleased with her), narrated: The Messenger of Allah did not leave a Dinar, nor Dirham, nor slave girl, nor slave boy, nor sheep or camel.
‘A’ishah (May Allah be pleased with her), said: The Messenger of Allah passed away while his shield was held ransom with a Jew for 30 (Sa‘ of wheat).
Anas narrated: The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, was invited to wheat bread and some soup. Anas said: I indeed heard the Messenger of Allah say: “By the One in Whose Hands is my soul, the family of the Prophet have never had a Sa’ (ancient measure of approx. 2.5 kg) of wheat, nor a Sa’ of dates.” And he had on that day nine wives and his shield was held in ransom with a Jew in Madinah and he took food from him. Then he couldn’t find anything to free it until he died.
Ibn ‘Abbas: That the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, looked at Uhud then said: “By the One in Whose Hands is my soul, it would not please me that the family of the Prophet had the amount of Uhud in gold; I would spend it in the way of Allah….” He said: Then he died and he did not leave a Dinar, or Dirham, or slave boy, or slave girl and he left his shield with a Jew for 30 Sa’ of wheat.
Ibn ‘Abbas narrated: ‘Umar entered upon the Prophet, peace be upon him, while he was on a rug that had left a mark on his body. He said: “O Prophet of Allah, were you to use a rug softer than this!” He replied: “What need do I have for this world? My example and that of this world is nothing but the example of a traveler who traversed on a hot day. Then he took shade under a tree for a part of the day and then continued and left it.” Ahmad was the only one who mentioned this and its chain is good. And it has supporting evidence in the Hadith of Ibn ‘Abbas from ‘Umar, about the two women that allied against the Messenger of Allah and the story of Al-’Eela’. And the Hadith will be mentioned as well as others similar to it concerning his abstinence and his leaving of this world and his turning away from it and his rejection of it. This is what proves what we have said that he did not have this world in his mind, i.e., he was not preoccupied with it.
Narrated by Malik Ibn Mighwal from Talhah, who said: I asked ‘Abdullah Ibn Abu Awfa: Did the Prophet make a Wasiyyah? He said: No. I said: How has the will been made obligatory on the people, or commanded with it? He replied: He made a Wasiyyah: the Book of Allah, the Most Honored, Most High.
