Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْمَرْوَزِيُّ، حَدَّثَنِي عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُسَيْنِ بْنِ وَاقِدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ النَّحْوِيِّ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، ‏‏{‏ إِنْ تَرَكَ خَيْرًا الْوَصِيَّةُ لِلْوَالِدَيْنِ وَالأَقْرَبِينَ ‏}‏ فَكَانَتِ الْوَصِيَّةُ كَذَلِكَ حَتَّى نَسَخَتْهَا آيَةُ الْمِيرَاثِ ‏.‏

Translation

Ahmad ibn Muhammad al-Marwazi narrated to us: 'Ali ibn Husayn ibn Waqid narrated to me, from his father, from Yazid al-Nahwi, from 'Ikrimah, from Ibn 'Abbas, regarding the verse, ‘If he leaves property, a bequest for parents and close relatives’: the bequest remained so until the verse of inheritance abrogated it.
