Arabic (Original)
وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ أنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ ثنا سُفْيَانُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ الْمُنْكَدِرِ يُحَدِّثُ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ جَابِرًا يَقُولُ مَرِضْتُ فَأَتَانِي النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَعُودُنِي هُوَ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ مَاشِيَيْنِ وَقَدْ أُغْمِيَ عَلَيَّ فَلَمْ أُكَلِّمْهُ فَتَوَضَّأَ وَصَبَّهُ عَلَيَّ فَأَفَقْتُ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ كَيْفَ أَصْنَعُ فِي مَالِي وَلِي أَخَوَاتٌ؟ قَالَ فَنَزَلَتْ آيَةُ الْمِيرَاثِ {يَسْتَفْتُونَكَ قُلِ اللهُ يُفْتِيكُمْ فِي الْكَلَالَةِ} [النساء 176] مَنْ كَانَ لَيْسَ لَهُ وَلَدٌ وَلَهُ أَخَوَاتٌ وَفِي رِوَايَةِ شُعْبَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ فِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ قَالَ إِنَّمَا يَرِثُنِي كَلَالَةٌ فَسَمَّى مَنْ يَرِثُهُ كَلَالَةً وَقَدْ مَضَى ذِكْرُهُ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ وَجَابِرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الَّذِي نَزَلَتْ فِيهِ آيَةُ الْكَلَالَةِ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ وَلَدٌ وَلَا وَالِدٌ؛ لِأَنَّ أَبَاهُ قُتِلَ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ وَهَذِهِ الْآيَةُ نَزَلَتْ بَعْدَهُ
English Translation
Abu Ali al-Rudhbari informed us: Muhammad ibn Bakr narrated to us: Abu Dawud narrated to us: Ahmad ibn Hanbal narrated to us: Sufyan said: I heard Ibn al-Munkadir narrating that he heard Jabir saying: I fell ill, and the Prophet (peace be upon him) came to visit me, he and Abu Bakr, walking. I had become unconscious and could not speak to him. He performed ablution and poured the water on me, and I regained consciousness. I said: O Messenger of Allah, how should I dispose of my wealth? I have sisters. So the verse of inheritance was revealed: 'They ask you for a ruling. Say: Allah gives you a ruling concerning kalalah' [4:176] - one who has no children but has sisters. In Shu'bah's narration from Ibn al-Munkadir from Jabir in this hadith, he said: Only distant relatives (kalalah) will inherit from me, so he named those who would inherit from him as kalalah, and this has been mentioned previously. The Shaykh said: Jabir ibn Abdullah, regarding whom the verse of kalalah was revealed, had no child and no parent, because his father was killed on the day of Uhud as a martyr, and this verse was revealed after that.
