Hadith 3039
It is narrated from Imam Zuhri, may Allah have mercy on him: The Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "A freed slave is a religious brother and a brother who sets free, and the one most entitled to his inheritance is the one who is closest to the one who set him free." By «نعمة» is meant «صاحب المنه».

مُعَمَّرٌ، حَدَّثَنَا
خُصَيْفٌ، عَنْ
زِيَادِ بْنِ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ: أَنَّ امْرَأَةً أَعْتَقَتْ عَبْدًا لَهَا، ثُمَّ تُوُفِّيَتْ وَتَرَكَتْ ابْنَهَا وَأَخَاهَا، ثُمَّ تُوُفِّيَ مَوْلَاهَا، فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ابْنُ الْمَرْأَةِ وَأَخُوهَا فِي مِيرَاثِهِ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:
"مِيرَاثُهُ لِابْنِ الْمَرْأَةِ، فَقَالَ أَخُوهَا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّه، ِلَوْ أَنَّهُ جَرَّ جَرِيرَةً، عَلَى مَنْ كَانَتْ ؟ قَالَ: عَلَيْكَ".
Khushaif narrated: It is reported from Ziyad bin Abi Maryam that a woman freed her slave, then that woman passed away and she left behind her son and her brother. Then her slave also died. So the woman's (the one who freed) son and her brother came to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) regarding inheritance. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "The inheritance of this slave is for the woman's son." The woman's brother said: O Messenger of Allah! If he (the slave) had committed any crime, who would have been responsible? The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "You would have been responsible."

هُوَ أَخُوكَ وَمَوْلَاكَ، قَالَ: مَا تَرَى فِي صُحْبَتِهِ ؟ قَالَ: إِنْ شَكَرَكَ فَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَهُ وَشَرٌّ لَكَ، وَإِنْ كَفَرَكَ فَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَكَ وَشَرٌّ لَهُ، قَالَ: مَا تَرَى فِي مَالِهِ ؟ قَالَ: إِنْ مَاتَ وَلَمْ يَتْرُكْ عَصَبَةً فَأَنْتَ وَارِثُهُ".

Then he brought him to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) and said: I have bought him and I set him free; what is your opinion about this? The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "He is your (Muslim) brother and your slave." He asked: What is your opinion about keeping him with me? The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "If he shows gratitude to you, then that is better for him, but not good for you; and if he is ungrateful to you, then that is better for you and bad for him." He asked: What is your opinion about his wealth? The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "If he dies and there are no heirs to collect his wealth, then you are his heir."

Jahm bin Dinar narrated from Ibrahim (may Allah have mercy on him) that it is reported from him: He was asked: There are two sisters, one of whom bought her father and set him free, then he (the father) passed away.

That is, the other sister will not receive anything from the remaining share beyond the two-thirds, and the entire remainder will go to the emancipating daughter.
