Chapter 19 · Shares of Inheritance (Kitab Al-Fara'id)حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ أَبِي الْحَجَّاجِ أَبُو مَعْمَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ، عَنْ حُسَيْنٍ الْمُعَلِّمِ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، أَنَّ رِئَابَ بْنَ حُذَيْفَةَ تَزَوَّجَ امْرَأَةً فَوَلَدَتْ لَهُ ثَلَاثَةَ غِلْمَةٍ، فَمَاتَتْ أُمُّهُمْ فَوَرَّثُوهَا رِبَاعَهَا، وَوَلَاءَ مَوَالِيهَا، وَكَانَ عَمْرُو بْنُ الْعَاصِ عَصَبَةَ بَنِيهَا فَأَخْرَجَهُمْ إِلَى الشَّامِ فَمَاتُوا، فَقَدَّمَ عَمْرُو بْنُ الْعَاصِ وَمَاتَ مَوْلًى لَهَا وَتَرَكَ مَالًا لَهُ فَخَاصَمَهُ إِخْوَتُهَا إِلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: مَا أَحْرَزَ الْوَلَدُ أَوِ الْوَالِدُ فَهُوَ لِعَصَبَتِهِ مَنْ كَانَ ، قَالَ: فَكَتَبَ لَهُ كِتَابًا فِيهِ شَهَادَةُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ، وَزَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ، وَرَجُلٍ آخَرَ، فَلَمَّا اسْتُخْلِفَ عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ اخْتَصَمُوا إِلَى هِشَامِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيل، أَوْ إِلَى إِسْمَاعِيل بْنِ هِشَامٍ فَرَفَعَهُمْ إِلَى عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ، فَقَالَ: هَذَا مِنَ الْقَضَاءِ الَّذِي مَا كُنْتُ أَرَاهُ، قَالَ: فَقَضَى لَنَا بِكِتَابِ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ فَنَحْنُ فِيهِ إِلَى السَّاعَةِ.

Rabab bin Hudhayfah married a woman and three sons were born to him from her. Their mother then died. They inherited her houses and had the right of inheritance of her freed slaves. Amr Ibn al-As رضی اللہ عنہ was the agnate of her sons. He sent them to Syria where they died. Amr Ibn al-As رضی اللہ عنہ then came. A freed slave of hers died and left some property. Her brothers disputed with him and brought the case to Umar Ibn al-Khattab رضی اللہ عنہ . Umar رضی اللہ عنہ reported the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم as saying: Whatever property a son or a father receives as an heir will go to his agnates, whoever they may be. He then wrote a document for him, witnessed by Abdur Rahman Ibn Awf, Zayd Ibn Thabit رضی اللہ عنہ and one other person. When Abdul Malik became caliph, they presented the case to Hisham Ibn Ismail or Ismail Ibn Hisham (the narrator is doubtful). He sent them to Abdul-Malik رضی اللہ عنہ who said: This is the decision which I have already seen. The narrator said: So he (Abdul-Malik) made the decision on the basis of the document of Umar Ibn al-Khattab رضی اللہ عنہ, and that is still with us till this moment.
