It is narrated from Abu Sa‘d that Hazrat Sa‘id bin Jubair (may Allah have mercy on him) said in the explanation of the verse { وَإِذَا حَضَرَ الْقِسْمَۃَ أُولُوا الْقُرْبَی وَالْیَتَامَی وَالْمَسَاکِینُ فَارْزُقُوہُمْ مِنْہُ } that if the heirs are adults, then some wealth should be given to those people, and if the heirs are minors, then an excuse should be made to those people; this is the meaning of { قَوْلاً مَعْرُوفًا }.

It is narrated from Muhammad bin Sirin that Hazrat Humaid bin Abdur Rahman said: My father was once made responsible for the wealth of inheritance, so he had a goat slaughtered and cooked. Then, after distributing the inheritance, he fed those who were present there, and after that, he spoke kindly to those who were not heirs.

Sudi narrates that Abu Malik said that this verse has been abrogated by the verse of inheritance.

Ikrimah narrates that Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) said: This verse is definitive and not abrogated.
