Benefit:
The aforementioned narration is weak in its chain of transmission, as our esteemed researcher and other scholars have stated. Meanwhile, the detailed incident of Haml ibn Malik ibn Nabighah radi Allahu anhu has already been mentioned earlier in the hadith of Abdullah ibn Abbas (2641), which the scholars have declared authentic. Therefore, despite the aforementioned narration being weak in its chain, it is actionable and authoritative due to supporting evidences. Shaykh al-Albani writes regarding this: "Sahih bima qablahu" (authentic due to what precedes it). Accordingly, the blood money (diyah) is also the inheritance of the murdered woman, so the husband also receives a share in it, whereas the payment of the diyah is the responsibility of the agnatic relatives ('asaba) of the woman who committed the killing. The husband is not included among the 'asaba; rather, he is among the fixed-share heirs (ashab al-furud), whose share is specified.
