( أَخْبَرَنَا ) أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، ثَنَا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ، ثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، قَالَ: أَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، أَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ:
أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنْ بَنِي مُدْلِجٍ يُدْعَى قَتَادَةَ، كَانَتْ لَهُ أُمُّ وَلَدٍ، وَكَانَ لَهُ مِنْهَا ابْنَانِ، فَتَزَوَّجَ عَلَيْهَا امْرَأَةً مِنَ الْعَرَبِ، فَقَالَتْ: لَا أَرْضَى عَنْكَ حَتَّى تَرْعَى عَلَيَّ أُمُّ وَلَدِكَ، فَأَمَرَهَا أَنْ تَرْعَى عَلَيْهَا، فَأَبَى ابْنَاهَا ذَلِكَ، فَتَنَاوَلَ قَتَادَةُ أَحَدَ ابْنَيْهِ بِالسَّيْفِ فَمَاتَ، فَقَدِمَ سُرَاقَةُ بْنُ مَالِكِ بْنِ جُعْشُمٍ عَلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لَهُ، فَقَالَ لَهُ: اعْدُدْ لِي بِقُدَيْدٍ، وَهِيَ أَرْضُ بَنِي مُدْلِجٍ عِشْرِينَ وَمِائَةً مِنَ الْإِبِلِ، فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ عُمَرُ ؓ أَخَذَ ثَلَاثِينَ جَذَعَةً وَثَلَاثِينَ حِقَّةً وَأَرْبَعِينَ خَلِفَةً، ثُمَّ قَالَ: أَيْنَ أَخُو الْمَقْتُولِ ؟ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: لَيْسَ لِلْقَاتِلِ شَيْءٌ

A man from Banū Mudlij called Qatādah had a concubine who had borne him two sons. He married another woman, an Arab, over her, and she said: "I will not be pleased with you until you make your concubine pasture [the flocks] for me." So he ordered her to pasture them for her, but her two sons refused that. Then Qatādah struck one of his two sons with the sword and he died. Then Surāqah b. Mālik b. Juʿshum came to ʿUmar b. al-Khaṭṭāb (may God be pleased with him) and mentioned that to him. He said to him: "Count out for me at Qudayd, which is the land of Banū Mudlij, one hundred and twenty camels." When ʿUmar (may God be pleased with him) arrived, he took thirty jadhaʿah camels, thirty ḥiqqah camels and forty khalifah camels. Then he said: "Where is the brother of the slain?" I heard the Messenger of God ﷺ say: "The killer has no inheritance."

machine translationʿAmr b. Shuʿayb: there is disagreement about him in this report. Al-Ḥajjāj b. Arṭāh, al-Muthannā b. al-Ṣabbāḥ, Muḥammad b. ʿAjlān and ʿAbdullāh b. Lahīʿah narrated it from ʿAmr b. Shuʿayb, from his father, from his grandfather, from ʿUmar, from the Prophet ﷺ. Yaḥyā b. Saʿīd al-Anṣārī narrated it from ʿAmr b. Shuʿayb, and there is disagreement about him as well: Ismāʿīl b. ʿAyyāsh narrated it from Yaḥyā b. Saʿīd, from ʿAmr b. Shuʿayb, from his father, from his grandfather. ʿAlī b. Mushir narrated it from Yaḥyā b. Saʿīd, from ʿAmr b. Shuʿayb, from his father, from ʿUmar. Mālik b. Anas, Ḥammād b. Salamah, Abū Khālid al-Aḥmar, Hushaym, Yazīd b. Hārūn and others narrated it from Yaḥyā b. Saʿīd, from ʿAmr b. Shuʿayb as a mursal report from ʿUmar, from the Prophet ﷺ. Likewise ʿAbd al-Karīm Abū Umayyah narrated it from ʿAmr b. Shuʿayb, also as a mursal report from ʿUmar. The mursal version is more likely to be correct.
