حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْكِنْدِيُّ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَالِدٍ الأَحْمَرُ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ
أَنَّ أَبَا قَتَادَةَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي مُدْلِجٍ قَتَلَ ابْنَهُ فَأَخَذَ مِنْهُ عُمَرُ مِائَةً مِنَ الإِبِلِ ثَلاَثِينَ حِقَّةً وَثَلاَثِينَ جَذَعَةً وَأَرْبَعِينَ خَلِفَةً فَقَالَ أَيْنَ أَخُو الْمَقْتُولِ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لَيْسَ لِقَاتِلٍ مِيرَاثٌ
