Bayhaqi 12208 — Those who held that relatives through the womb inherit

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الْقَاضِي، قَالَا: ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الصَّغَانِيُّ، ثنا قَبِيصَةُ بْنُ عُقْبَةَ، ثنا 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 بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ إِلَى أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ بْنِ الْجَرَّاحِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ أَنْ عَلِّمُوا غِلْمَانَكُمُ الْعَوْمَ، وَمُقَاتِلَتَكُمُ الرَّمْيَ. قَالَ: وَكَانُوا يَخْتَلِفُونَ بَيْنَ الْأَغْرَاضِ، فَجَاءَ سَهْمٌ غَرْبٌ فَأَصَابَ غُلَامًا فَقَتَلَهُ فِي حِجْرِ خَالٍ لَهُ، لَا يُعْلَمُ لَهُ أَصْلٌ. قَالَ: فَكَتَبَ أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ إِلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا يَسْأَلُهُ إِلَى مَنْ يَدْفَعُ عَقْلَهُ، قَالَ: فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ عُمَرُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَقُولُ: " اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ مَوْلَى مَنْ لَا مَوْلَى لَهُ، وَالْخَالُ وَارِثُ مَنْ لَا وَارِثَ لَهُ ".
Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) said that Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) wrote to Sayyiduna Abu Ubaydah bin al-Jarrah (may Allah be pleased with him): Teach your boys swimming and teach your fighters archery. They used to go back and forth between the targets, and a stray arrow came and struck a boy and killed him; he was in the care of his maternal uncle, and his lineage was not known. The narrator said: Sayyiduna Abu Ubaydah (may Allah be pleased with him) wrote to Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) asking him to whom he should give his blood money (diyah). Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) replied that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to say: "Allah and His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) are the guardian of one who has no guardian, and the maternal uncle will be the heir of one who has no heir."
