Notes

• وَهَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ وَقَدْ أَرْسَلَهُ بَعْضُهُمْ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ فِيهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ وَاخْتَلَفَ فِيهِ أَصْحَابُ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَوَرَّثَ بَعْضُهُمُ الْخَالَ وَالْخَالَةَ وَالْعَمَّةَ وَإِلَى هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ ذَهَبَ أَكْثَرُ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ فِي تَوْرِيثِ ذَوِي الأَرْحَامِ وَأَمَّا زَيْدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ فَلَمْ يُوَرِّثْهُمْ وَجَعَلَ الْمِيرَاثَ فِي بَيْتِ الْمَالِ

  machine translationThis is a good and strange (ḥasan gharīb) hadith. Some of them transmitted it as a mursal report and did not mention in it "from ʿĀʾishah." The Companions of the Prophet ﷺ differed about it: some of them gave inheritance to the maternal uncle, the maternal aunt and the paternal aunt. Most of the people of knowledge hold to this hadith regarding inheritance for the blood relatives (dhawū al-arḥām). As for Zayd b. Thābit, he did not give them inheritance and made the estate go to the public treasury (bayt al-māl). Report a problem
