Explanation

Explanation of the hadith

‘Ā'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) informed that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) did not leave any money after his death, neither a large or a small amount, nor did he leave any sheep or camels, nor did he make a will regarding anything, in terms of wealth or property. Indeed, if anyone has some property to be inherited they will make a will, but the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) left nothing to make a will or bequest about. He did however make a bequest about other matters, among which he enjoined Muslims to observe the prayer regularly and expel the Jews and Christians from the Arabian Peninsula.
