It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) concerning the saying of Allah Almighty, "And when relatives, orphans and the needy are present at the division (of inheritance), give them something from it and speak to them words of kindness" [Surah Al-Nisa': 8] , that he said: "These people should be given something (as a gift), and if the wealth is scarce, an apology should be made to them in a kind manner." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, and the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.
