بَابُ مَا جَاءَ فِي مِيرَاثِ الْعَقْلِ وَالتَّغْلِيظِ فِيهِChapter on What is Reported Regarding Inheritance of Compensation and Its Severity
Hadith 1530
وَحَدَّثَنِي مَالِك، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنْ الْأَنْصَارِ يُقَالُ لَهُ أُحَيْحَةُ بْنُ الْجُلَاحِ كَانَ لَهُ عَمٌّ صَغِيرٌ، هُوَ أَصْغَرُ مِنْ أُحَيْحَةَ، وَكَانَ عِنْدَ أَخْوَالِهِ فَأَخَذَهُ أُحَيْحَةُ فَقَتَلَهُ، فَقَالَ أَخْوَالُهُ : كُنَّا أَهْلَ ثُمِّهِ وَرُمِّهِ حَتَّى إِذَا اسْتَوَى عَلَى عُمَمِهِ غَلَبَنَا حَقُّ امْرِئٍ فِي عَمِّهِ، قَالَ عُرْوَةُ : " فَلِذَلِكَ لَا يَرِثُ قَاتِلٌ مَنْ قَتَلَ " .
It is narrated from Urwah bin Zubair that there was a man from the Ansar whose name was Uhayhah bin Julah, and he had a younger paternal uncle who was staying with his maternal relatives. Uhayhah took him and killed him. The people of his maternal relatives said: We raised him, nurtured him, and when he grew up, his nephew overpowered us and took him away. Urwah said: For this reason (now in Islam) the killer does not inherit from the murdered person.
