Hadith 6037

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو يَعْلَى ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا الْقَوَارِيرِيُّ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ عَيَّاشِ بْنِ أَبِي رَبِيعَةَ ، عَنْ حَكِيمِ بْنِ حَكِيمِ بْنِ عَبَّادِ بْنِ حُنَيْفٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ بْنِ سَهْلِ بْنِ حُنَيْفٍ ، قَالَ : كَتَبَ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ إِلَى أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ أَنْ عَلِّمُوا صِبْيَانَكُمُ الْعَوْمَ ، وَمُقَاتِلَتَكُمُ الرَّمْيَ ، قَالَ : فَكَانُوا يَخْتَلِفُونَ بَيْنَ الأَغْرَاضِ ، قَالَ : فَجَاءَ سَهْمٌ غَرْبٌ فَأَصَابَ غُلامًا ، فَقَتَلَهُ ، وَلَمْ يُعْلَمْ لِلْغُلامِ أَهْلٌ إِلا خَالُهُ ، فَكَتَبَ أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ إِلَى عُمَرَ : فَذَكَرَ لَهُ شَأْنَ الْغُلامِ إِلَى مَنْ يَدْفَعُ عَقْلَهُ ، فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ : أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ مَوْلَى مَنْ لا مَوْلَى لَهُ ، وَالْخَالُ وَارِثُ مَنْ لا وَارِثَ لَهُ " .
Sayyiduna Abu Umamah bin Sahl (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) wrote a letter to Sayyiduna Ubaidah (may Allah be pleased with him) instructing him to teach swimming to his children and archery to his warriors. The narrator states: Those people were practicing this at various places when suddenly a stray arrow came and struck a boy, and that boy died. Among the boy’s relatives, only his maternal uncle was found. Sayyiduna Abu Ubaidah (may Allah be pleased with him) wrote a letter to Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) and described the matter of the boy, asking to whom the blood money should be entrusted. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) wrote back to him that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) has said: “Whoever has no mawla (patron), Allah and His Messenger are his mawla, and whoever has no heir, his maternal uncle is his heir.”
