The wives of the Prophet (ﷺ) sent ' Uthmân to Bakr demanding from him their 1 / 8th of the Fai ' which Allâh had granted to His Messenger (ﷺ) ". But I used to oppose them and say to them: " Will you not fear Allâh? Don't you know that the Prophet (ﷺ) used to say: ' Our property is not inherited, but whatever we leave is to be given in charity? The Prophet (ﷺ) mentioned that regarding himself. ' He added: ' The family of Muḥammad can take their sustenance from this property. ' " So the wives of the Prophet (ﷺ) stopped demanding it when I told them of that. [5:367 (L.P.)-O.B]
