As and Umar ws dl(+). (Its revenue will be spent in the same way as they had been
spending and allocating it.)1
COMMENTARY: As stated earlier (particularly hadith # 4062), the properties of Banu
Nadir, Fadak and Khaybar were exclusively for the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم . Since he had died
while they were in his possession, some of his ahlulbayt (people of his house and family)
claimed in heritance and demanded their portion of these properties some of them dispute
over them among themselves too. But, this was a passing phase based on a
misunderstanding. However, some perverse minds of succeeding generations have begun
to nead mischief in this dispute. They invent long stories and have misled many people ..
So, we deem it proper to select relative material from the sihah sittah (six authentic books)
to throw some light on this disagreement (to remove the misunderstanding).
Sahih Bukhari has the hadith of Maalik ibn Aws ibn Hadathan &t >, . He was called by
Umar ibn Khattab رضى الله عنه .While he was there, his slave Yarfa رضى الله عنه announced the arrival
of Uthman ibn Affan رضى الله عنه, Abdur Rahman ibn Awf رضى الله عنه, Zubayr ibn Awam and sa'd
ibn Abu Waqar رضى الله عنه .Umar رضى الله عنه instructed him to let them in. After a while, he
رضى الله and they too were led to Umar رضى الله عنه and Ali رضى الله عنه announced the arrival of Abbas
u.e. Abbas us an+, said to him, "O Amir ul-Muminin, decide between us. Ali quarrels with
me about the property of Banu Nadir which Allah had allotted to His Messenger tano
raised their voices and argued with one رضى الله عنه and Ali رضى اله عنه as fa'i." Then Abbas وسلم
another. Those people who were around recommended to Umar usd+, that he should get
the two men to reconcile. Umar us an, asked them to show patience and adjured them by
Allah to affirm whether Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم had not said, "We Prophets are not
inherited. What ever we leave behind is sadaqah (charity) (charity)." They turned to Ali ~>)
s & and Abbas s an, and asked them whether they knew that and they too confirmed,
"Yes!" He then reminded them that Allah had granted the fa'I exclusively to His
Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم and to no one else and he recited the verse (59: 6). He added, "He
did not take it at the exclusion of you people but gave it to all of you ... He gave his family
their annual allowances and spent on Allah's cause from it. He continued to do it all his
life. Don't you Know?" They affirmed, "Yes! He asked Ali رضى الله عنه and Abbas رضى الله عنه too.
They confirmed, too. He went on to remind them that after the Prophet's death, Abu Bakr
wal+; administered and managed that property in the same way as he had done. He said
to them that they had not approved of Abu Bakr's us an +, actions at that time, saying, It
was not as you had been saying. But he was a pious and a righteous man, pursuing the
right course." When he died and I succeeded him, I have managed that property as they
had done and Allah knows that I am honest in this regard. Now, after about two years you
have come to me with the same demand. Abbas you had come asking for share from your
nephew's property and he for his wife's share from her father's property. I had reminded
you of his words, "We Prophets do not inherit. "He said that he then offered to hand over
the property to them if they pledged to manage it as Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم and
Abu Bakrusd+, had done and as he had been doing. He said, "You agreed to abide by
that condition and I handed it over to you." He asked them it that was so and they said,
! . Abu Dawud # 2972.

"Yes!" He asked (Sayyiduna) Ali رضى الله عنه and Abbas رضى الله عنه and they too said, "Yes!"
He said, "If you ask for a different decision, I will not do that. If you are unable administer
it, then let me have it back, I shall do it for you."1
Zuhri رضى الله عنه said that he asked Urwah ibn Zubayr رضى الله عنه about this hadith and he
confirmed that it is very correctly reported. He had heard Sayyidah Ayshah رضى الله عنهاا say
that after the Prophet's صلى الله عليه وسلم death, some of his wives approached Uthman رضى الله عنه to
ask Abu Bakr ws a+, for their inheritance from the Fa'I that Allah had bestowed on the
صلی الله عليه وسلم When she learnt of it, she reminded them of the Prophet's . صلى الله عليه وسلم Prophet
saying that the Prophet's صلى الله عليه وسلم do not leave behind anything to inherit. What they
leave behind is Sadaqah (charity). They remembered and withdrew their demand.
Urwah رضى الله عنه said that when Umar رضى الله عنه handed over the property of Banu Nadir to Ali :
took it away رضى الله عنه concerning which they had wrangled, Ali رضى الله عنه and Abbas رضى الله عنه
from Abbasرضى الله عنه after some days. Then it went to Hasanibn Aliرضى الله عنه and then to
Husayn ibn Ali رضى الله عنه.After that, ,it went to Ali ibn Husyan رضى الله عنه and Hasan ibn
Husayn wÅ›). They administed it by turns. Then it went to Zayd ibn Hasan. "Honestly
this (property) is a Sadaqah (charity). It is not anyone's legacy or personal property."2
رضى الله and Abbas رضى الله عنها also narrated that Sayyidah Fatimah رضى الله عنهاا Sayyidah Ayshah
asking for a share in the lands of Fadak and property of رضى الله عنه met Abu Bakr عنه
Khyber as inheritance. He remanded them of the Prophet's صلى الله عليه وسلم words that the
Prophets leave no heirs. What the Prophets صلى الله عليه وسلم leaves no heirs. What they
leave is Sadaqah (charity) from which the Prophet's family gets their provision. He
صلى الله عليه also said, "By Allah, it is dearer to me to look after the relatives of the Prophet
3".than to look after my own family وسلم
رضى الله عنه The compiler of Jami' ul Usul has pointed about the hadith of Bukhari about Ali
and Abbas رضى الله عنه meeting Umar 3094#) رضى الله عنه) that they were not unaware of the
Prophet's صلى الله عليه وسلم saying. They only wanted him to separate the administration of the
property between both of them to manage each on his own. But Umar رضى الله عنه did not
agree to do that. (The intention of each of them was honest.)
رضى الله met Abu Bakr رضى الله عنها also narrated that Sayyidah Fatimah رضى الله عنهاا Sayyidah Ayshah
wisand asked for her inheritance from the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم from the Fa'l property. He
told her that it was not possible in view of the Prophet's صلى اللهعليه وسلم saying:
لَا نُوْرَثُ مَاتَرَ كُنَاهُ صَدَقَةٌ
(We are not inherited and what we leave behind is Sadaqah (charity).)4
According to a version, he also said, "The property is under my management. After me, it
will be managed by the next Khalifah." Sayyidah Fatimah Que & >, was much displeased
.with Abu Bakr رضى الله عنه so much so that she stopped exchange of salutations with him till
her death which was within six months of the Prophet's صلى اللهعليه وسلم demise.

Sayyidah Ayshah !رضى الله عنها also narrated that Sayyidah Fatimah رضى الله عنها constantly made
her demands of her share of the Prophet'sصلى الله عليه وسلم land and gardens in Khaybar and
Fadak and her Sadaqah (charity) in Madinah (property of Banu Nadir). But Abu Bakr &nº,
As told her all the time that he would not stop to do what the Prophet had been doing;
otherwise he would be guilty of giving up the Sunnah (Prophet's صلى الله عليه وسلم practice).
(صلى الله عليه وسلم handed over the Sadaqah (charity)(left by the Prophet رضى الله عنه After him, Umar
in Madinah to Ali رضى الله عنه and Abbas رضى الله عنه to manage it. He retained management of the
lands of Fadak and Khaybar. It was the Sadaqah (charity) left by Allah's Messenger and.
ok with which his rights were attached. He also made it known that only he would
manage these places who would be the Khalifah and ruler. This arrangement continues to
this day.
In short, these ahadith and others of the same purport in the six books of hadith are explicit
that the words "We leave no legacy and are not inherited). What we leave behind is
Sadaqah (charity)," mean: Whatever the Prophet صلى اللهعليه وسلم has left belongs to all Muslims.
That has to use for their good. Management and administration will rest with the surviving
and ruling caliph. All the Sahabah (Prophet's Companions) ,san>), including Sayyiduna
Abbas رضى الله عنه, agrees to it unanimously.
As for the property not being handed over to (Sayyiduna) Abbas a>, and (Sayyiduna
Alius a >) in the beginning, their original demand was on the ownership of all that
property. Later, they agreed to act as administrators and managers, and to spend and use
exactly as the Prophet صلى اللهعليه وسلم had done.
However, the question remains why there was discord between them when all of them
were aware of the Prophet's صلى الله عليه وسلم saying about no one inheriting from the Prophets.
The answer is that they were finding combined management difficult, so they wished
for management of divided property. But Umar us a +, did not agree to that because
that would have resembled ownership if not at that time, then after some time, for
sure. Their argument was that each would manage his own portion without consulting
the other more efficiently.
رضى الله is more puzzling then that of Abbas رضى الله عنها However, the conduct of Sayyidah Fatimah
saying that صلى اللهعليهوسلم She could not have been unaware of the Prophet's.رضى الله عنه and Ali عنه
they are not inherited. Yet it we grant that she truly did not know about it, then why did she
not accept it when she was told of it and all the Sahabah (Prophet's Companions) (ais ano)
confirmed it? Kirmanius à », explains that her displeasure was human nature. As for not
exchanging greetings with Abu Bakr As aw >), it was only that she was unwilling to meet him
on purpose and she avoided him. (It is not the same as severing ties of relationship.)
Besides, some traditions say that when she was displeased, Abu Bakr us an ~~ , went to her
home one day. In spite of the severe heat, he stood at her door and continued to apologize
to her. He said, "By Allah, the relatives of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم are dearer to me than
mine own relatives (to give them their rights). But, I do not know what else I may do after
hearing this hadith and having the testimony of the other Sahabah on it." On that,
Sayyidah Fatima's رضى الله عنها displeasure was removed.

MANIFESTATIONS OF TRUTH
Translation & Detailed Explanation of MISHKAAT AL-MASAABIH
The recording, arrangement and compiling of hadith that was initiated
in the time of the Prophet # was accomplished gradually and perfected
in the era of the tabi'un and tab' tabi'un. Books of hadith began to be
compiled. The scholars of hadith spared no effort and left no stone unturned
to compile books of hadith. Today they serve us as lights of knowledge
and learning, diffusing profound knowledge to the seekers and students.
One such book is Mishkaat Al-Masaabih. It is a complete and compact
form of Masaabih-us-Sunnah. It is a selection of the ahadith of the six
authentic Books of hadith and other reliable collections. It has 6294
ahadith from these sources. Since the time it was compiled, this basic
book of hadith continues to form part of the syllabus of religious institutions.
Students of hadith derive beneficial knowledge from it.
Manifestations of Truth is an authentic, reliable and approved sharh
(exposition) of the Mishkaat Al-Masaabih in Urdu by Sheikh Nawab
Qutubuddin Khan Dehlavi and edited by Abdullah Javed Ghazipuri. It is
the most reliable and authentic Sharh (exposition, commentry) of the
Mishkaat Al-Masaabih in Urdu language. The commentary and explanation
of each hadith is given in the light of the issues and problems pertaining
to current times. The most authentic books on the subject have been
consulted. The authorities whose works are cited include Mullah Ali Qari
de dizer, (Mirqat), Teebi, Toorpushti, Khattabi, to name a few. The ahadith
are numbered in sequence and appropriate headings and sub-headings are
given.
It has been a reference and guide since last 30 years, it was first
published for the scholars, students and layman. Now, its English translation
is presented to you and we can say without any reservation that there is
no other matching English renderring of Mishkaat Al-Masaabih and its
explanation. It is an unparralleled book on lessons of hadith filled with
precious pearls of the Prophet's sayings.
We at Darul-Ishaat, Karachi have done our utmost to meet the needs
of our valued patrons and present to them a book unequalled in getup,
printing, paper and binding.
May Allah accept our effort through His Mercy and Favour. And may
He make it a means of deliverance and an asset in the hereafter for us.
