Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) decreed that debt should be paid before the execution of a bequest, and you (recite in the Qur'an): "after any bequest which was made or debt" () (after the execution of a bequest and payment of debt). Also, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) decreed inheritance in favor of real brothers instead of maternal brothers.
