عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا أَنَّ مَوْلًى لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَقَعَ مِنْ نَخْلَةٍ فَمَاتَ وَتَرَكَ شَيْئًا وَلَمْ يَدَعْ وَلَدًا وَلَا حَمِيمًا، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((أَعْطُوا مِيرَاثَهُ رَجُلًا مِنْ أَهْلِ قَرْيَتِهِ))
It is narrated from Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that a slave of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) fell from a date-palm and died. He had some inheritance, but neither children nor relatives. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said regarding his inheritance: "Give it to someone from his settlement."
