Combining “The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) left behind no dinar…” with his leaving behind the lands of Khaybar and Fadak
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner (A. T.) says: I read that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) died leaving Fadak—I wrote it this way—leaving Fadak and wealth. I also read that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) died and left behind neither a dinar nor a dirham. How do I reconcile these two?
Answer:
Yes, he passed away and left behind no currency. Whatever currency came to him, he spent it (peace and blessings be upon him). But he left behind lands in Khaybar and lands in Fadak for the Muslims; for the benefit of the Muslims. Messengers and Prophets do not inherit a dinar or a dirham; rather, they inherit what benefits the Muslims. What they leave behind is charity, to be spent on the interests of the Muslims, as he (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih Ibn Hibban 62:490 He did not leave behind dirhams or dinars, but rather he left behind land in Khaybar and Fadak. Yes.
