Narrated Ibn Abbas: To those also, to whom your right hand was pledged, give their due portion. A man made an agreement with another man (in early days of Islam), and there was no relationship between the ; one of them inherited from the other. The following verse of Surat Al-Anfal abrogated it: "But kindred by blood have prior right against each other. "

Ibn Abbas explained the following Quranic verse: "To those also, to whom your right hand was pledged, give your portion. " When the Emigrants came to Madina. they inherited from the Helpers without any blood-relationship with them for the brotherhood which the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم established between them. When the following verse was revealed: "To (benefit) everyone we have appointed shares and heirs to property left by parent and relatives. " it abrogated the verse: "To those also, to whom your right hand was pledged, give their due portion. " This alliance was made for help, well wishing and cooperation. Now a legacy can be made for him. (The right to)inheritance was abolished.

Narrated Dawud bin al-Husain: I used to learn the reading of the Quran from Umm Saad, daughter of al-Rabi. She was an orphan in the guardianship of Abu Bakr. I read the Quranic verse "To those also to whom your right hand was pledged. " She said: Do not read the verse; "To those also to whom your right hand was pledged. " This was revealed about Abu Bakr and his son Abdur-Rahman when he refused to accept Islam. Abu Bakr took an oath that he would not give him a share from inheritance. When he embraced Islam Allah Most High commanded His Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم to give him the share. The narrator Abd al-Aziz added: He did not accept Islam until he was urged on Islam by sword. Abu Dawud said: He who narrated the word 'aqadat means a pact ; and he who narrated the word 'aaqadat means the party who made a pact. The correct is the tradition of Talhah ('aaqadat).

Narrated Ibn Abbas: Referring to the verse: "Those who believed and adopted exile. . . As to those who believed but came not into exile": A bedouin (who did not migrate to Madina) did not inherit from an emigrant, and an emigrant did no inherit from him. It was abrogated by the verse: "But kindred by blood have prior rights against each other. "
