Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Ibrahim states that Hazrat Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) and Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) used to make such brought-in children heirs.

Abu Taliq's father narrates that during the time of Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) and Hazrat Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him), I saw that children brought from the land of disbelief were not made heirs.

Hisham narrates that Hasan and Ibn Sirin state that children brought from the land of disbelief cannot be made heirs without witnesses.

Ibn Aun reports that it was mentioned to Muhammad (may Allah have mercy on him) that Umar ibn Abdul Aziz (may Allah have mercy on him) had written regarding children brought from the land of disbelief that they should not be made heirs without the testimony of witnesses. Upon this, he said that the Muhajirun and Ansar were made heirs on the basis of lineage from the time of ignorance, so I do not accept that he wrote this.

Mughira narrates that Ibrahim said that people used to be made heirs on the basis of those relationships through which they maintained ties of kinship.

Iyas bin Abbas narrates through an elder of his tribe that Abu Sulaiman had a brother whose name was Rashid, who passed away. There was a dispute between Banu Zubaid and Banu Asad regarding him. They brought this matter to Hazrat Masruq, so Hazrat Masruq said to Banu Asad: Do you testify that whatever is forbidden between a brother and sister was also forbidden between them? They testified to this, so he gave the inheritance to Abu Sulaiman.

Waki’ says that I heard this from A’mash, that he said: My father was brought from the land of disbelief in his childhood, then his brother died, so Hazrat Masruq made him the heir of his brother.

Shu’bah says: I asked Hazrat Hakam and Hammad (may Allah have mercy on them) about children brought from Dar al-Kufr, and they said: He will not be an heir without testimony.

Ash'ath bin Abu Sha'sha reports that a woman from the tribe of Muharib, who had been brought from the land of disbelief in her childhood, testified to the lineage of her brother who had also been brought from the land of disbelief. Consequently, 'Abdur Rahman bin 'Utbah made that brother the heir to his sister.

Hakam bin Atiyyah says that I asked Hasan about the child who brings witnesses that he is the brother of the deceased. He replied that according to Allah Almighty’s decision, he will be his heir. Allah Almighty says { وَأُولُوا الأَرْحَامِ بَعْضُہُمْ أَوْلَی بِبَعْضٍ فِی کِتَابِ اللہِ }.
