حَدَّثَنَا مَنْصُورُ بْنُ أَبِي مُزَاحِمٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاق ، عَنْ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ ، قَالَ : جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يَسْتَفْتُونَكَ فِي الْكَلَالَةِ ، فَمَا الْكَلَالَةُ ؟ قَالَ : " تُجْزِيكَ آيَةُ الصَّيْفِ " ، فَقُلْتُ لِأَبِي إِسْحَاق : هُوَ مَنْ مَاتَ وَلَمْ يَدَعْ وَلَدًا وَلَا وَالِدًا ، قَالَ : كَذَلِكَ ظَنُّوا أَنَّهُ كَذَلِكَ .
Narrated Al-Bara ibn Azib: A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: Messenger of Allah, they ask thee for a legal decision about a kalalah. What is meant by kalalah? He replied: The verse revealed in summer is sufficient for you. I asked Abu Ishaq: Does it mean a person who dies and leaves neither children nor father? He said: This is so. The people think it is so.

Benefits and Issues:
➊
The mention of (kalalah) appears in Surah al-Nisa in two places.
One is in verse number 12: (وَإِن كَانَ رَجُلٌ يُورَثُ كَلَالَةً أَوِ امْرَأَةٌ وَلَهُ أَخٌ أَوْ أُخْتٌ فَلِكُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِّنْهُمَا السُّدُسُ) (al-Nisa 4:12). This verse was revealed in winter, whereas the verse of Surah al-Nisa which is mentioned in the above hadiths was revealed in summer.
In the noble verse 176 of Surah al-Nisa, kalalah is referred to as one who has no children,
and brothers and sisters are present.
Whereas most of the noble Companions (radi Allahu anhum ajma'in) define kalalah as
one who has neither children nor a father.
So this addition is derived from the hadith of Jabir (radi Allahu anhu), that when this verse was revealed about him, he had neither children nor a father. And this is an example that the hadiths clarify and explain the Qur'an, and sometimes also mention additions to it.
