The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "We are not inherited from. Whatever we leave behind is charity. The family of Muhammad may only eat from this wealth," meaning the wealth of Allah, "and they have no right to take more than their sustenance." By Allah, I will not change anything regarding the charitable endowments of the Prophet ﷺ from the way they were during the time of the Prophet ﷺ, and I will manage them exactly as the Messenger of Allah ﷺ managed them.Ali then made the testimony of faith and said, "We have indeed recognized your virtue, Abu Bakr." He went on to mention their kinship with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and their rights.Abu Bakr then spoke and said, "By the One in whose hand my soul lies, the kinship of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ is dearer to me to maintain than my own kinship."
فقال
إن رسول الله ﷺ قال لا نورث ما تركنا فهو صدقة إنما يأكل آل محمد من هذا المال يعني مال الله ليس لهم أن يزيدوا على المأكل وإني والله لا أغير شيئا من صدقات النبي ﷺ التي كانت عليها في عهد النبي ﷺ ولأعملن فيها بما عمل فيها رسول الله ﷺ فتشهد علي ثم قال إنا قد عرفنا يا أبا بكر فضيلتك وذكر قرابتهم من رسول الله ﷺ وحقهم فتكلم أبو بكر فقال والذي نفسي بيده لقرابة رسول الله ﷺ أحب إلي أن أصل من قرابتي
