It was narrated that 'Abdullah said: "The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'For whom among you is the wealth of his heirs dearer to him than his own wealth?' They said: 'O Messenger of Allah, there is no one among us for whom his own wealth is not dearer to him than the wealth of his heirs.' The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'Know that there is no one among you for whom the wealth of his heirs is not dearer than his own wealth. Your wealth is that which you have sent on ahead, and the wealth of your heirs is that which you have kept.'"

Then send for me.' I did that, then the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came and sat at the head or in the middle of the heaps. Then he said: 'Measure them out for the people.'
