English Translation

'Abdullah ibn al-Zubayr said: When al-Zubayr was killed, al-Zubayr's family debts were found to be 2,200,000 (dirhams). Al-Zubayr had purchased al-Ghaba (a property) for 170,000, and 'Abdullah ibn al-Zubayr sold it for 1,600,000. When he finished paying off the debts, the sons of al-Zubayr said: "Divide our inheritance." He said: "By Allah, I will not divide it until I announce at the pilgrimage season for four years: 'Whoever has a claim against al-Zubayr, let him come to us and we will pay it.'" Four years passed, and then he divided the inheritance, and each wife of al-Zubayr received 1,200,000.
