A man who died leaving his maternal uncle and his brother's daughter or his sister's daughter

Amir said that Masruq was asked about a man who died having no heir except his maternal uncle and his brother's daughter. He said: "For the maternal uncle is the like of what his sister would have, and for the niece is the like of what her father would have."

Wasi' bin Habban said that Sayyiduna Ibn Dahdahah (may Allah be pleased with him) died, and he was a man of sound opinion among them. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) called Sayyiduna Asim bin Adi (may Allah be pleased with him) and asked: "Did he have any kinship with you?" He replied: "No." The narrator said: Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) gave his inheritance to his sister's son, Sayyiduna Abu Lubabah bin Abd al-Mundhir (may Allah be pleased with him).

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Give the inheritance shares to those entitled to them, and whatever wealth remains is for the nearest male relative."

Wasi' bin Habban said: Sayyiduna Thabit bin al-Dahdah (may Allah be pleased with him) was a stranger who lived in the area of Banu Unayf or Banu al-Ajlan. He died and left no heir except his sister's son, whose name was Abu Lubabah bin Abd al-Mundhir. So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave his inheritance to him.
