Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated that he delivered a sermon to the people in Basrah, and reciting Surah al-Baqarah before them, he explained its rulings. When he reached this verse, "If he leaves wealth, (it is obligatory to make) a bequest for the parents" [Surah al-Baqarah: 180] , he said: This verse has been abrogated. Then he mentioned the rulings that come after it. This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Imam Bukhari and Imam Muslim, but the two Shaykhs did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) that he went to visit a sick man of Banu Hashim. The man intended to make a bequest, but Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) forbade him and said: Allah Almighty says, "If he leaves khayr", that is, if he leaves "wealth" (in large quantity). So leave your wealth for your heirs. This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Imam Bukhari and Imam Muslim, but the two Shaykhs did not record it.
