1819. INHERITANCE OF PROPHETS

(وَوَرِثَ سُلَيْمَانُ دَاوُدَ وَقالَ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ عُلِّمْنَا مَنْطِقَ الطَّيْرِ وَأُوتِينَا مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ إِنَّ هذَا لَهُوَ الْفَضْلُ الْمُبِينُ) .¹

"Solomon inherited from David, and he said, 'O people! We have been taught the speech of the birds, and we have been given out of everything. Indeed this is a manifest advantage." ²

(وَإِنِّي خِفْتُ الْمَوالِيَ مِنْ وَرَائِي وَكَانَتِ امْرَأَتِي عَاقِرَاً فَهَبْ لِي مِنْ لَدُنْكَ وَلِيَّاً * يَرِثُنِي وَيَرِثُ مِنْ آلِ يَعْقُوبَ وَاجْعَلْهُ رَبِّ رَضِيّاً) .³

"Indeed I fear my kinsmen, after me, and my wife is barren. So grant me from Yourself an heir who may inherit from me and inherit from the House of Jacob, and make him, my Lord, pleasing [to You]!" ⁴

6463.الطبقات الكبرى‏ عن جعفر : جاءَت فاطِمَةُ عليها السلام إلى‏ أبي بكرٍ تَطلُبُ مِيراثَها ، وجاءَ العَبّاسُ بنُ عبدِالمُطَّلبِ يَطلُبُ مِيراثَهُ ، وجاءَ مَعَهُما عليٌّ عليه السلام .
فقالَ أبو بكرٍ : قالَ رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله : «لا نُوَرِّثُ ، ما تَرَكناهُ صَدَقَةٌ» وما كانَ النَّبيُّ يَعولُ فَعَلَيَّ ، فقالَ عليٌّ عليه السلام : (وَوَرِثَ سُلَيمانُ داودَ) ، وقالَ زكريّا : (يَرِثُني ويَرِثُ مِن آلِ يَعقوبَ) .
قالَ أبو بكرٍ : هُو هكذا ، وأنتَ واللَّهِ تَعلَمُ مِثلَ ما أعلَمُ .
فقالَ عليٌّ عليه السلام : هذا كِتابُ اللَّهِ يَنطِقُ . فسَكَتُوا وانصَرَفوا .⁵

6463. al-Tabaqat al-Kubra, narrating from Ja'far: 'Fatima (AS) came to Abu Bakr asking for her inheritance, and Abbas b. Abd al-Mutalib also asked for his inheritance and Ali (AS) came with them. Abu Bakr said, 'The Prophet (SAWA) said, 'We do not leave inheritance; whatever we leave is charity', so whoever the Prophet was responsible for in their livelihood, I am responsible for.' Ali (AS) said, '"Solomon inherited from David", and Zacharias said, '"who may inherit from me and inherit from the House of Jacob." Abu Bakr said, 'That is right, but by Allah you know the same as what I know.' Then Ali said, 'This is the Book of Allah talking. So they [Ali, Fatima and Abbas] kept quiet and left.' ⁶
