Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Whoever has read the Qur'an should learn the knowledge of inheritance (fara'id), because if a Bedouin meets him and says: O Muhajir (brother)! Do you recite the Qur'an? If he says: Yes, I do, then he will say: Can you distribute inheritance? If he says: Yes, I can, then this is additional knowledge and excellence. But if he says: I do not know the knowledge of fara'id, then the Bedouin will say: Then what is the difference between you and me, O Muhajir brother? (That is, I am also ignorant of the knowledge of inheritance and you are also unaware of it.)
