[...those] for whom Allah made the Fire necessary for whoever performs them, such as this verse: 'and they will burn in a blazing fire,' we used to testify against anyone who did any of this that he was for the Fire, until [the verse] was revealed: 'Indeed, Allah does not forgive that one should associate anything with Him, but He forgives what is less than that for whom He wills.' When it was revealed, we refrained from testifying, and we did not testify that they were in the Fire, and we feared for them due to what Allah had made necessary for them.

His saying, the Exalted: "Allah instructs you concerning your children"

I had fainted, so the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) performed ablution, then he poured some of his ablution water over me. I regained consciousness and said: "O Messenger of Allah, how should I make a bequest regarding my wealth? How should I act regarding my wealth?" The Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) did not answer me until the verse of inheritance was revealed.
