Narrated from Sayyiduna Imran bin Husain (may Allah be pleased with him) that an Ansari man, at the time of his death, freed six slaves, while he had no other wealth besides them. When this matter reached the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he said: I intended not to perform his funeral prayer. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) called those slaves, divided them into three parts, and (by drawing lots) freed two of them and left four as slaves.

(Second chain) A man freed six slaves at the time of his death. When his Bedouin heirs informed the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, of what he had done, he, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Did he really do that?" Then he, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "If I had known beforehand, then, if Allah wills, I would not have performed his funeral prayer." Then he, peace and blessings be upon him, cast lots among the slaves and freed two of them, leaving four as slaves.

Sayyiduna Abu Zaid Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated a similar hadith from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him and his family).

Hanzalah bin Huzaym (may Allah be pleased with them) narrates: My grandfather, Sayyiduna Hanifah (may Allah be pleased with him), said to his son, Sayyiduna Huzaym (may Allah be pleased with him): O my son! Gather all my sons in one place, I wish to make a bequest to them. He gathered them, then Sayyiduna Hanifah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: My very first bequest is that the orphan under my care, I give him one hundred camels; in the days of ignorance, we used to call this gift "Mutayyibah." Sayyiduna Huzaym (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O father! My brothers are saying that as long as our father is alive, we will abide by this, but when he passes away, we will take this gift back. Sayyiduna Hanifah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Then the one to decide between me and you is the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Sayyiduna Huzaym (may Allah be pleased with him) said: We agreed to this. So Sayyiduna Huzaym, Sayyiduna Hanifah, Sayyiduna Hanzalah (may Allah be pleased with them), and a slave sitting behind Sayyiduna Huzaym set out. When they came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), they greeted him with salam. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: O Abu Huzaym! For what have you come? Sayyiduna Hanifah (may Allah be pleased with him), striking Sayyiduna Huzaym (may Allah be pleased with him) on the thigh, said: This Huzaym is the reason for coming; the detail is that I feared that death may come suddenly, so I intended to make a bequest and said: My first bequest is that I give one hundred camels to the child under my care; in the time of ignorance, we used to call this gift "Mutayyibah." Upon hearing this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) became angry, and signs of anger appeared on his face. He (peace and blessings be upon him) was sitting at first, but now he sat on his knees and said: No, no, no, this will never happen. Give five camels in charity, or ten, or fifteen, or then twenty, otherwise twenty-five, if you want to give more, then thirty, otherwise thirty-five, and if you want to give a lot, then forty. Then they bid farewell to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The orphan child had a stick, with which he used to strike the camel. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: How big the orphan's stick has become. Sayyiduna Hanzalah (may Allah be pleased with him) says: My father made me sit near the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: Some of my sons have beards and some do not, and this one is the youngest; please pray for him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) placed his hand on the head of Sayyiduna Hanzalah (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: May Allah bless you, or may blessing be placed in you. Dhiyal says: I myself saw that people with swollen faces were brought to Sayyiduna Hanzalah, and likewise animals were brought whose udders were swollen, but when he spat on his hand, said "Bismillah," placed his hand on the spot of his head where the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had placed his hand, and then passed that hand over the swollen area, Dhiyal says: Thus, the swelling would go away.

Narrated by Sayyiduna Amr bin Kharijah Khushani رضي الله عنه: The Noble Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم delivered a sermon to us while he صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم was mounted on his riding animal, and his animal was chewing the cud and its saliva was flowing onto my shoulders. He صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم said: Allah Almighty has fixed the share of every person in inheritance, therefore it is not permissible to make a bequest in favor of an heir.

Narrated by Sayyiduna Abu Umamah Bahili (may Allah be pleased with him): He says, I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saying in the sermon during the year of the Farewell Pilgrimage: Allah Almighty has given every rightful person his due right, therefore, it is not permissible to make a bequest in favor of an heir. … al-Hadith

Narrated by Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: O Abu Dharr! Never accept guardianship over the wealth of an orphan, nor act as a judge between two people.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with them both) that a man asked the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: I have no wealth, but there is an orphan under my guardianship, so can I take from his wealth? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: You may eat from your orphan’s wealth, but do not be extravagant in it, nor wasteful, nor one who accumulates wealth, nor one who saves your own wealth. Or he said: nor one who saves your own wealth through his wealth.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that when this verse was revealed: "Do not go near the wealth of the orphan except in the best manner," people separated the wealth of the orphans from their own wealth. (But due to this, the problem arose that) the orphan's food would spoil and the meat would become foul-smelling, and thus his wealth would be wasted. So when this matter was presented before the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), this command was revealed: "If you mix them (the orphans) with yourselves, then they are your brothers, and Allah knows the corrupter from the reformer."
