Sheikh Ibn Al-Uthaymeen
Fatimah was remaining, however, there is no inheritance for her. Neither for her nor his ﷺ wives nor for his uncle Abbas, nor for anyone from his clan/tribe. This is because Prophets do not leave inheritance. Like the Prophet ﷺ said, "Indeed, we Prophets do not leave inheritance, whatever we leave is charity.”
This is from the wisdom of Allahﷻ, because if they left inheritance someone would’ve said: "Indeed these men came with the Message seeking to obtain wealth and property to be inherited after them." But Allah ﷻ prohibited that. So the Prophets do not leave inheritance. Rather, whatever they leave is Sadaqah (charity) that is distributed to those who deserve it.
