The reciter: Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad.
Al-Bukhari (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Isma'il narrated to us, saying: Malik narrated to me from Abu al-Zinad from al-A'raj from Abu Hurayrah that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih Muslim 1760a.
The Shaykh : ... Now, this hadith, like the first one, indicates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) does not leave an inheritance, so he said:Sahih al-Bukhari 6729.
This conveys a meaning in addition to the first hadith, which is that what he left behind is to be spent on the wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) by way of entitlement, not by way of inheritance.
