حَدَّثَنِى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ أَخْبَرَنِى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُنْكَدِرِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ دَخَلَ عَلَىَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- وَأَنَا مَرِيضٌ لاَ أَعْقِلُ فَتَوَضَّأَ فَصَبُّوا عَلَىَّ مِنْ وَضُوئِهِ فَعَقَلْتُ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّمَا يَرِثُنِى كَلاَلَةٌ. فَنَزَلَتْ آيَةُ الْمِيرَاثِ. فَقُلْتُ لِمُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ (يَسْتَفْتُونَكَ قُلِ اللَّهُ يُفْتِيكُمْ فِى الْكَلاَلَةِ) قَالَ هَكَذَا أُنْزِلَتْ

Jabir bin 'Abdullah said: "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) entered upon me while I was sick and unconscious. He performed Wudu' and they poured some of the water over me, and I regained consciousness. I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, I have no ascendants or descendents to inherit from me.' Then the Verse of inheritance was revealed." I [Shu'bah (a narrator)] said to Muhammad bin Al-Munkadir: "Was it: 'They ask you for a legal verdict. Say: Allah directs (thus) about Al-Kalalah (those who leave neither descendants nor ascendants as heirs)..."'? He said: "Thus it was revealed.''
