باب الْكَلاَلَةِ:Chapter on kalalah (person who dies leaving neither parents nor children)
Hadith 3005
أَخْبَرَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَاصِمٌ، عَنْ الشَّعْبِيِّ، قَالَ: سُئِلَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ عَنْ الْكَلَالَةِ، فَقَالَ: "إِنِّي سَأَقُولُ فِيهَا بِرَأْيِي، فَإِنْ كَانَ صَوَابًا فَمِنْ اللَّهِ، وَإِنْ كَانَ خَطَأً فَمِنِّي، وَمِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ: أُرَاهُ مَا خَلَا الْوَالِدَ وَالْوَلَدِ"، َفَلَمَّا اسْتُخْلِفَ عُمَرُ، قَالَ: إِنِّي لَأَسْتَحْيِي اللَّهَ أَنْ أَرُدَّ شَيْئًا قَالَهُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ.
It is narrated from Sha'bi (may Allah have mercy on him) that when Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) was asked about kalalah, he said: I will express my opinion about it; if it is correct, then it is from Allah (the guidance), and if it is wrong, then it is from myself and from Satan. In my view, (kalalah is the deceased) who has neither left a father nor a son. Then, when Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) became the caliph, he said: I feel shy before Allah to reject what Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) has said.
