And Sulaymān became the successor of Dāwūd[1] and he said, “O people! We have been taught the language of the birds and We have been granted (abundance) from all things. Indeed this is clear grace.”

Commentary

[1]

Inheritance in this verse refers to succession in prophethood, knowledge and dominion not the inheritance of wealth. The noble Prophets عَـلَـيْهِمُ السَّلَام generally did not bequeath wealth, just as it is stated in the hadith, “The Prophets عَـلَـيْـهِمُ الـسَّـلَام did not make anyone an inheritor of dinars and dirhams. Rather, they only made inheritors of knowledge. So the one who received knowledge attained his full share.” (Sunan Al-Tirmidhī: 2691) Therefore, this verse cannot be used as evidence of a Prophet’s progeny inheriting the wealth of a Prophet عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام.
