باب الْعَصَبَةِ:Chapter on agnatic heirs (asaba)
Hadith 3015
أَخْبَرَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، أَنْبَأَنَا هِشَامٌ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي الضَّحَّاكُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ: أَنَّ عُمَرَ قَضَى فِي أَهْلِ طَاعُونِ عَمَوَاسَ أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا إِذَا كَانُوا مِنْ قِبَلِ الْأَبِ سَوَاءً، فَبَنُو الْأُمِّ أَحَقُّ، وَإِذَا كَانَ بَعْضُهُمْ أَقْرَبَ مِنْ بَعْضٍ بِأَبٍ، فَهُمْ أَحَقُّ بِالْمَالِ".
Dahhak bin Qais narrated that Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) made a decision regarding inheritance during the plague of Amwas (or the first plague that occurred in the era of Islam): that the heirs who are children from the father's side will all be equal in rank, but those from the mother's side will have more right, and among the heirs, whoever is closer to the father will have more right to the wealth.
