Book 65: Prophetic Commentary on the Qur'an (Tafseer of the Prophet (pbuh))

"And to everyone, We have appointed heirs of that (property) left by parents and relatives. To those, also, with whom you have made a pledge (brotherhood), give them their due portion [by Wasiya (wills)]. Truly, Allah is Ever a Witness over all things." (V.4:33)

Chain of Narration (Isnad)

Narrated by ibn Abbas 6 narrators
al-Salt bin Muhammad bin 'Abdur Rahman Atbāʿ Atbāʿ al-Tābiʿīn d. > 210 AH Hammad bin Usamah Atbāʿ al-Tābiʿīn d. 201 AH Idris bin Yazid bin 'Abdur Rahman al-Awd Atbāʿ al-Tābiʿīn Talha bin Msrf bin 'Amr Tābiʿī d. 110 AH or after Sa'id bin Jubayr Tābiʿī 46 AH – 95 AH ibn Abbas Companion 3 BH/619 CE – 68 AH/687 CE
Narrated Ibn `Abbas:Regarding the Verse: "To everyone, We have appointed heirs." (4.33) 'Mawali' means heirs. And regarding:-- "And those to whom your right hands have pledged." When the Emigrants came to Medina, an Emigrant used to be the heir of an Ansari with the exclusion of the latter's relatives, and that was because of the bond of brotherhood which the Prophet (ﷺ) had established between them (i.e. the Emigrants and the Ansar). So when the Verses:-- "To everyone We have appointed heirs." was revealed, (the inheritance through bond of brotherhood) was cancelled. Ibn `Abbas then said: "And those to whom your right hands have pledged." is concerned with the covenant of helping and advising each other. So allies are no longer to be the heir of each other, but they can bequeath each other some of their property by means of a will.
