However, The claim by Khilifa about Hadeeth ‘Our property will not be inherited, whatever we leave is Sadaqah’ is false.

Following Hadeeth from Sahih Bukhari. The three Khaleefa�s inheriting the ring of the Prophet is proof that the Hadeeth ‘Our property will not be inherited, whatever we leave is Sadaqah’ is false…

Sahih Bukhari_______

Volume 7, Book 72, Number 767:

Narrated Anas:

that when Abu Bakr became the Caliph, he wrote a letter to him (and stamped it with the Prophet's ring) and the engraving of the ring was in three lines: Muhammad in one line, 'Apostle' in another line, and 'Allah' in a third line. Anas added: 'the ring of the Prophet was in his hand, and after him, in Abu Bakr's hand, and then in 'Umar's hand after Abu Bakr. When Uthman was the Caliph, once he was sitting at the well of Aris. He removed the ring from his hand and while he was trifling with it, dropped into the well. We kept on going to the well with Uthman for three days looking for the ring, and finally the well was drained, but the ring was not found.

Assalamu Alaykum,

I believe this narration provides the same opinion as that quoted earlier of Prophet’s garden. That is, the ring was not inherited by the Prophet (pbuh)'s progeny. Keep in mind that ‘inheritance’ is in family and not in friends or companions.

In both cases, Prophet (pbuh)'s property went to the Islamic state. The ring was used as a symbol of the head of Islamic state as a representative of Muhammad (pbuh) - the last Prophet of God - and not as a commodity for personal benefit or use. If it indeed was used in personal capacity, then official correspondence would not be signed using it.

I hope this clarifies that this provides further evidence that this particular case was not for one case only, rather in every instance of Prophet (pbuh)'s property.

Best Wishes
