It is narrated from Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that a mawla of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) died. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Is there anyone (here) from the people of his village?" They said: Yes. So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave him his inheritance.
