باب في مِيرَاثِ الْحَمِيلِ:Chapter on inheritance of the fetus
Hadith 3135
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، حَدَّثَنِي اللَّيْثُ، حَدَّثَنِي يُونُسُ، عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ قَالَ عِنْدَ فِرَاقِ الدُّنْيَا: أَنَا مَوْلَى فُلَانٍ، قَالَ: "يُرَدُّ مِيرَاثَهُ لِمَنْ سَمَّى أَنَّهُ مَوْلَاهُ عِنْدَ فِرَاقِ الدُّنْيَا، إِلَّا أَنْ يَأْتُوا عَلَيْهِ بِبَيِّنَةٍ بِغَيْرِ ذَلِكَ يَرُدُّونَ بِهِ قَوْلَهُ، فَيُرَدُّ مِيرَاثُهُ إِلَى مَا قَامَتْ بِهِ الْبَيِّنَةُ".
It is narrated from Ibn Shihab: If a person, at the time of departing from this world, says that he is the freed slave of such-and-such person, he said: His wealth should be returned to those owners whom he identified at the time of his departure from this world, unless the heirs bring forth some stronger evidence besides this. Therefore, in the light of proof and testimony, his inheritance will be given to the rightful owner.
