It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him) that once we were sitting with Sayyiduna Farooq-e-Azam (may Allah be pleased with him) when suddenly Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sayyiduna Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) arrived, and both of their voices were raised. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Abbas! Stop, I know what you want to say. You say that Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was your nephew, so you should get half of the wealth. And O Ali! I also know what you want to say. Your opinion is that the daughter of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was in your marriage, and her share is half. And whatever was in the hands of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) is present with me. We have seen what the method of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was in this regard. After the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) was appointed as the caliph, and he did what the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) used to do. After Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him), I was made the caliph. I swear by Allah that just as the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) did, I will continue to try my utmost to do the same. Then he said that Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated this hadith to me and swore by Allah for his truthfulness that he heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say that the wealth of the noble Prophets (peace be upon them) is not inherited; their legacy is distributed among the poor Muslims and the needy. And Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) also narrated this hadith to me and swore by Allah for his truthfulness that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "No Prophet departs from this world until he follows one of his followers." In any case, whatever was with the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) is present here, and we have also seen the method of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). Now, if both of you want me to hand over these endowments to you, and you will act in them as the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) used to do, then I will hand them over to you. Hearing this, both of them went into seclusion for a while. After a short while, when they returned, Sayyiduna Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) said that you may hand over these endowments to Ali; I give this permission with the happiness of my heart.
