al-Zuhri, ‘Urwah narrated to me, from ‘A’ishah, from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) that he said: "It shall be returned from the charity of the one who deviates in his lifetime, just as what is returned from the will of the one who deviates at the time of his death."

My father said: Al-Walid ibn Mazid erred in this hadith, and this statement is from ‘Urwah only. Al-Walid ibn Muslim has reported this hadith from al-Awza’i, and he did not exceed ‘Urwah with it.

1619 - My father narrated to us, Abu Salih, the scribe of al-Layth, narrated to us, Mu’awiyah ibn Salih narrated to me, from ‘Ali ibn Abi Talhah, from Ibn ‘Abbas, regarding His saying: "Then reconcile between them"—he says: If the deceased makes an error in his will or fears in it, then there is no blame upon the guardians to return his error to what is correct.

It was reported from Abu al-‘Aliyah, Tawus, al-Hasan, Ibrahim, Sa’id ibn Jubayr, Qatadah, al-Rabi’ ibn Anas, and Muqatil ibn Hayyan something similar to that.

His saying: "So there is no sin upon him"

1620 - Muhammad ibn ‘Ammar ibn al-Harith narrated to us, ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn ‘Abd Allah al-Dashtaki narrated to us, Abu Ja’far al-Razi informed us, from al-Rabi’ ibn Anas, regarding His saying: "Then reconcile between them, so there is no sin upon him"—he says: The executor returns it to the truth after his [the testator's] death, so there is no sin upon him.

It was reported from Sa’id ibn Jubayr, ‘Ata’ ibn Abi Rabah, and Muqatil ibn Hayyan something similar to that.

His saying: "Indeed, Allah is Forgiving, Merciful"

1621 - Abu Zur’ah narrated to us, Yahya ibn ‘Abd Allah ibn Bukayr narrated to us, Ibn Lahi’ah narrated to me, ‘Ata’ ibn Dinar narrated to me, from Sa’id ibn Jubayr, regarding the saying of Allah: "Indeed, Allah is Forgiving, Merciful"—meaning: The executor, when he reconciled between the heirs; Merciful—meaning: Merciful to him, Acquainted with him, in that He granted him a concession to go against the biased will of the deceased.

His saying: "O you who have believed."

Its explanation has already preceded in verse 104.

His saying: "It has been prescribed for you"

And through the same chain from Sa’id ibn Jubayr regarding the saying of Allah: "It has been prescribed for you"—meaning: It has been made obligatory upon you.

His saying: "Fasting has been prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you"
