رجل اشترى أختا له (وابن لها) لا يدري من أبوه ثم مات ابنها
A man who bought his sister and her son, whose father is unknown, then her son died
Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 33037 — A man who bought his sister
٣٣٠٣٧ - حدثنا ابن فضيل عن بيان عن وبرة قال: اشترى رجل أختًا له كانت سبية في الجاهلية، فاشتراها وابنًا لها لا يدري من أبوه، فشب فأصاب مالًا ثم مات فأتوا عمر فقصوا عليه القصة، فقال: خذوا ميراثه، فاجعلوه في بيت المال، ما أراه ترك ولي نعمة ولا أرى لك فريضة، فبلغ ذلك ابن مسعود فقال: (مه) (١) حتى ألقاه، فلقيه فقال: يا أمير المؤمنين، عصبة وولي نعمة؟ قال: كذا؟ قال: نعم، (فأعطاء) (٢) المال (٣).
Wabarah said that a man bought a sister of his who had been taken captive in the days of ignorance (Jahiliyyah). He bought her together with a son of hers whose father was unknown. The son grew up, acquired wealth, and then died. The people came to Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) and related the whole matter. He said: Take his inheritance and put it into the public treasury. I do not think he has left a benefactor (wali ni'mah), and in my view there is no share of inheritance for you. This reached Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him), and he said: Leave it until I meet him. After that he met Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: O Commander of the Faithful! That man is an agnate relative ('asabah) and a benefactor (wali ni'mah). He asked: Is it so? He replied: Yes. So he gave him the wealth.
