Bayhaqi 12427 — Those who gave full or paternal brothers inheritance

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْحَافِظُ، أنا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْأَصْبَهَانِيُّ، ثنا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ الْقَطَّانُ، ثنا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عِيسَى، أنا ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، أنا عَاصِمٌ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ: إِنَّ أَوَّلَ جَدٍّ وَرِثَ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، مَاتَ ابْنُ فُلَانِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، فَأَرَادَ عُمَرُ أَنَ يَأْخُذَ الْمَالَ دُونَ إِخْوَتِهِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ عَلِيٌّ وَزَيْدٌ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا: لَيْسَ لَكَ ذَلِكَ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: " لَوْلَا أَنَّ رَأْيَكُمَا اجْتَمَعَ لَمْ أَرَ أَنْ يَكُونَ ابْنِي وَلَا أَكُونَ أَبَاهُ " هَذَا مُرْسَلٌ الشَّعْبِيُّ لَمْ يُدْرِكْ أَيَّامَ عُمَرَ، غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ مُرْسَلٌ جَيِّدٌ.
It is narrated from al-Sha'bi (may Allah have mercy on him) that the first to inherit as a grandfather in Islam was Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him). A certain grandson of his died, and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) intended to take his wealth to the exclusion of his brothers. Sayyiduna Ali and Zayd (may Allah be pleased with them both) said to him: That is not your right. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Had the two of you not agreed in your opinion, I would not have thought that he was my son, nor that I was his father.
This is mursal; al-Sha'bi did not live in the days of Umar, but it is a good mursal.
