Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ ابْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ، سَمِعَ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ يَقُولُ مَرِضْتُ مَرَضًا، فَأَتَانِي النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَعُودُنِي وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ وَهُمَا مَاشِيَانِ، فَوَجَدَانِي أُغْمِيَ عَلَىَّ، فَتَوَضَّأَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ثُمَّ صَبَّ وَضُوءَهُ عَلَىَّ، فَأَفَقْتُ فَإِذَا النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَيْفَ أَصْنَعُ فِي مَالِي كَيْفَ أَقْضِي فِي مَالِي فَلَمْ يُجِبْنِي بِشَىْءٍ حَتَّى نَزَلَتْ آيَةُ الْمِيرَاثِ‏.‏

Translation

ʿAbd Allāh ibn Muḥammad narrated to us: Sufyān narrated to us, from Ibn al-Munkadir, who heard Jābir ibn ʿAbd Allāh (may Allah be pleased with them both) say: “I fell ill, and the Prophet ﷺ came to visit me with Abū Bakr; they were walking. They found me unconscious. The Prophet ﷺ performed ablution, then poured his ablution water over me. I regained consciousness and found the Prophet ﷺ there. I said, ‘Messenger of Allah, what should I do with my wealth? How should I dispose of it?’ He did not answer me until the verse of inheritance was revealed.”
