إِسْحَاقُ: أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ، ثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ، عَنِ الْأَجْلَحِ، عَنِ الْحَكَمِ بْنِ عُتَيْبَةَ، قَالَ:
اخْتَصَمَ عَلِيٌّ وَالزُّبَيْرُ إِلَى عُمَرَ ؓ فِي مَوَالِي صَفِيَّةَ ؓ، فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ ؓ: عَمَّتِي، وَأَنَا أَعْقِلُ عَنْهَا وَأَرِثُهَا، وَقَالَ الزُّبَيْرُ ؓ: أُمِّي وَأَنَا أَرِثُهَا. فَقَالَ عُمَرُ لِعَلِيٍّ ؓ: « أَلَمْ تَعْلَمْ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ جَعَلَ الْوَلَاءَ تَبَعًا لِلْمِيرَاثِ. ؟

✧ ʿAlī and al-Zubayr brought a dispute before ʿUmar ؓ concerning the mawālī of Ṣafiyyah ؓ. ʿAlī ؓ said: “She is my paternal aunt, and I pay blood money on her behalf and inherit from her.” Al-Zubayr ؓ said: “She is my mother, and I inherit from her.” ʿUmar said to ʿAlī ؓ: “Do you not know that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ made walāʾ subordinate to inheritance?”
