It is narrated from ‘Ikrimah and Hasan (may Allah have mercy on them) that according to this verse: «إِنْ تَرَكَ خَيْرًا الْوَصِيَّةُ لِلْوَالِدَيْنِ وَالْأَقْرَبِينَ . . . . . .» [بقره: 180/2] , the bequest (wasiyyah) was in effect, but the verse of inheritance: «يُوصِيكُمُ اللَّهُ . . . . . .» [نساء 11/4] abrogated the bequest for the heirs.
