حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ ، وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْكِنْدِيُّ ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَالِدٍ الْأَحْمَرُ ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ ، أَنَّ أَبَا قَتَادَةَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي مُدْلِجٍ قَتَلَ ابْنَهُ ، فَأَخَذَ مِنْهُ عُمَرُ مِائَةً مِنَ الْإِبِلِ ثَلَاثِينَ حِقَّةً وَثَلَاثِينَ جَذَعَةً وَأَرْبَعِينَ خَلِفَةً ، فَقَالَ ابْنُ أَخِي الْمَقْتُولِ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ : " لَيْسَ لِقَاتِلٍ مِيرَاثٌ " .
´It was narrated from 'Amr bin Shu'aib that :` Abu Qatadah, a man from Banu Mudlij, killed his son, and 'Umar took one hundred camels from him, thirty Hiqqah, thirty Jadha'ah and forty Khalifah. Then he said: “Where is the brother of slain? I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: 'The killer does not inherit.'”
Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues:
The wisdom in depriving the murderer of a share in the inheritance is that, very often, the reason for the murder is that the killer wants to obtain the inheritance of the murdered person.
Because of this law, the murderer will be compelled to consider that, in the case of murder, not only will he not receive the estate, but there is also the risk of the death penalty.
Even if the death penalty is not given, payment of blood money (diyah) will be obligatory.
In this way, instead of gaining more wealth, even the initial wealth will be lost.
With this thought, he will refrain from committing murder.
