Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 33038 — A man who had a fornicating sister

Al-Aswad said that a man came to Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) and said to him: I had a sister who was an adulteress. She died and left a boy, who later died and left some camels. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I do not think there is any tie of lineage between you, so bring those camels and put them among the charity camels. The narrator said: That man then came to Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) and related the whole matter to him. So Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) got up, went to Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: O Commander of the Faithful! What did you say about this matter? He said: I do not think there is any tie of lineage between the two of them. Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Is he not that boy's maternal uncle and his benefactor (wali ni'mah)? He asked: What is your view? Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) replied: In my view he is entitled to that boy's wealth. So Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) returned that wealth to the man.
