What did the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) say about inheritance of his property?
      Narrated 'Aisha:                          Fatima sent somebody to Abu Bakr asking him to give her her      inheritance from the Prophet from what Allah had given to His Apostle      through Fai (i.e. booty gained without fighting). She asked for the      Sadaqa (i.e. wealth assigned for charitable purposes) of the Prophet      at Medina, and Fadak, and what remained of the Khumus (i.e.,      one-fifth) of the Khaibar booty. Abu Bakr said, "Allah's Apostle said,     'We (Prophets), our property is not inherited, and whatever we leave      is Sadaqa, but Muhammad's Family can eat from this property, i.e.      Allah's property, but they have no right to take more than the food      they need.' By Allah! I will not bring any change in dealing with the      Sadaqa of the Prophet (and will keep them) as they used to be observed     in his (i.e. the Prophet's) life-time, and I will dispose with it as      Allah's Apostle used to do," Then 'Ali said, "I testify that None has      the right to be worshipped but Allah, and that Muhammad is His      Apostle," and added, "O Abu Bakr! We acknowledge your superiority."      Then he (i.e. 'Ali) mentioned their own relationship to Allah's      Apostle and their right. Abu Bakr then spoke saying, "By Allah in      Whose Hands my life is. I love to do good to the relatives of Allah's      Apostle rather than to my own relatives"
