Hadith 6383

عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنِ الْكَلَالَةِ، فَقَالَ: ((تَكْفِيكَ آيَةُ الصَّيْفِ)) فَقَالَ: لَأَنْ أَكُونَ سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْهَا أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ يَكُونَ لِي حُمْرُ النَّعَمِ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, who says: I asked the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, about kalalah. He, peace and blessings be upon him, said: The verse revealed in the summer regarding this is sufficient for you. Then Sayyiduna Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, said: It is certain that if I had asked the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, about this, it would have been more beloved to me than red camels.

Brief Explanation
Benefits: … By "kalalah" is meant the deceased who has neither parents nor children. It is derived from "aklil," which refers to something that surrounds the head from its sides, that is, from the edges. Kalalah is called so because, in terms of principles (asl, i.e., parents) and branches (far', i.e., children), he does not have an heir, but from the sides and peripheries, he is considered to have heirs, such as siblings and so on.

In Surah An-Nisa, kalalah is mentioned in two places: verse number (12) and verse number (176). The former verse was revealed in the winter season, and the latter in the summer season.
