حدثنا عبيد الله بن عمر القواريري، حدثنا عبد الرحمن، - يعني ابن مهدي - حدثنا سفيان، قال سمعت محمد بن المنكدر، قال سمعت جابر بن عبد الله، يقول عادني رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم وأنا مريض ومعه أبو بكر ماشيين فوجدني قد أغمي على فتوضأ رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ثم صب على من وضوئه فأفقت فإذا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فقلت يا رسول الله كيف أصنع في مالي فلم يرد على شيئا حتى نزلت آية الميراث ‏.‏
 Jabir b. 'Abdullah (Allah be pleased with them) reported:                      While I had been ill Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) visited me and Abu akr (Allah be pleased with him) was with him, and they both came walking on foot. He (the Holy Prophet) found me unconscious. Allahs Messenger (may peace be upon him) performed ablution and then sprinkled over me the water of his ablution. I felt relieved regained my consciousness) and found Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) there. I said: Allah's Messenger, what should I do with my property? He gave me no reply until the verse (iv. 177) relating to the law of inheritance was revealed.
