Sayyiduna Abdullah ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said regarding the verse of the Qur’an:“And for everyone We have made heirs (mawali)”(an-Nisa: 33): The meaning of mawali is heirs. And regarding the verse:“And those with whom your oaths have been contracted, give them their share”(an-Nisa: 33) (those people who have sworn firm oaths with you, give them their share), he said: When the Muhajirun came to Madinah, due to the brotherhood that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) established between them, they would inherit from the Ansar, and they would not inherit from their own relatives. When the verse“And for everyone We have made heirs (mawali)”(an-Nisa: 33) was revealed, the previous ruling was abrogated. Then he recited this verse:“And those with whom your oaths have been contracted, give them their share”(an-Nisa: 33), meaning help, cooperation, goodwill, and making a bequest in their favor remains, while inheritance has ended.
