حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ، سَمِعَ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، يَقُولُ مَرِضْتُ فَأَتَانِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَعُودُنِي هُوَ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ مَعَهُ وَهُمَا مَاشِيَانِ وَقَدْ أُغْمِيَ عَلَىَّ فَتَوَضَّأَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَصَبَّ عَلَىَّ مِنْ وَضُوئِهِ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَيْفَ أَصْنَعُ كَيْفَ أَقْضِي فِي مَالِي حَتَّى نَزَلَتْ آيَةُ الْمِيرَاثِ فِي آخِرِ النِّسَاءِ {وَإِنْ كَانَ رَجُلٌ يُورَثُ كَلاَلَةً} الآيَةَ وَ {يَسْتَفْتُونَكَ قُلِ اللَّهُ يُفْتِيكُمْ فِي الْكَلاَلَةِ} الآيَةَ .

It wasnarrated from Muhammad bin Munkadir that he heard Jabir bin'Abdullahsay:
"I fell sick and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came tovisitme, he and Abu Bakr with him, and they came walking. I had lostconsciousness, so the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) performed ablution andpoured some of the water of his ablution over me. I said: 'OMessengerof Allah, what should I do? How should I decide about mywealth?'Until the Verse of inheritance was revealed at the end ofAn-Nisa':"If the man or woman whose inheritance is in questionhas left neitherascendants or descendents." [4:12] And: "Theyask you for a legalverdict. Say: 'Allah directs (thus) about thosewho leave neitherdescendants nor ascendants as heirs.'" [4:176]
