Properties left by The Prophet and Their distribution

It was not difficult to divide the property of The Prophet because he did not have so many wealth. When he was dead, it was seen that he had nothing other than a house and piece of land.

Based on the information given by Ibn Sa’d, it was not known what happened to camel and sheep herd of The Prophet. The name of the The Prophet’s concubines and slaves were given again by Ibn Sa’d, who also explained that The Prophet made all of slaves and concubines free before he was dead.

When it comes to analyze the procedure carried out for the heritage of The Prophet, his animals and some of his personal belongings were given to Ali’s family and state had his cardigan, sword and ring.

When The Prophet was dead, all of his inheritors, including his daughter, Fâtima, went to Abu Bakr in order to share his wealth and land. But the statement of The Prophet was declared to all of them. The statement was that: “No one can be inheritor for us. All of our wealth is alms.” Based on his statement, all of his lands were given to state. Fâtima insisted on getting her right from Hayber, Fedek ve Benû Nâdir lands. It is proved that Fatima did not have any information about the statement of The Prophet.

Another statement of The Prophet about his heritage is: “My inheritor would not share any dinar. All of my wealth is alms except livelihood of my wifes and expenditures of my servants.”

Based on this statement, The Prophet wifes would go on to get their livelihood incomes determined by The Prophet, until they die. Moreover, servant means jobholders and employees, who worked in fields and engaged with income of The Prophet.

When it comes to rooms, where The Prophet wifes lived, The Prophet gave these rooms to his wifes. Until his wifes dead, they would have a right to live in these rooms; but when they are dead, these rooms would be also included alms of The Prophet.

By this way, The Prophet, who prohibited to utilize from all kinds of incomes collected from Muslims for both himself and his relatives, left all his wealth and lands to management of state for the service of all Muslims. He used all kinds of material and spiritual power in order to bring happiness that surround two worlds of all Muslims , not in order to get wealth for himself and family.
