Bayhaqi 16487 — The killer does not inherit

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحَسَنِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْمُقْرِئُ، أنبأ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، ثنا يُوسُفُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ الْقَاضِي، ثنا أَبُو الرَّبِيعِ، ثنا هُشَيْمٌ، ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنْ كِنَانَةَ يُقَالُ لَهُ: قَتَادَةُ أَمَرَ ابْنًا لَهُ بِبَعْضِ الْأَمْرِ فَأَبْطَأَ عَلَيْهِ فَحَذَفَهُ بِالسَّيْفِ فَقَطَعَ رِجْلَهُ فَمَاتَ، فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، فَقَالَ: لَأَقْتُلَنَّ قَتَادَةَ، فَأَتَاهُ سُرَاقَةُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ، فَقَالَ: يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ إِنَّهُ لَمْ يُرِدْ قَتْلَهُ، وَإِنَّمَا كَانَتْ بَادِرَةً مِنْهُ فِي غَضَبٍ، فَلَمْ يَزَلْ بِهِ حَتَّى ذَهَبَ مَا كَانَ فِي نَفْسِهِ عَلَيْهِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: مُرْهُ فَلْيَلْقَنِي بِقُدَيْدٍ بِعِشْرِينَ وَمِائَةٍ مِنَ الْإِبِلِ، فَفَعَلَ، فَأَخَذَ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ مِنْهَا ثَلَاثِينَ حِقَّةً، وَثَلَاثِينَ جَذَعَةً، وَأَرْبَعِينَ ثَنِيَّةً خَلِفَةً إِلَى بَازِلِ عَامِهَا، ثُمَّ قَالَ لِقَتَادَةَ: لَوْلَا أَنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " لَيْسَ لِقَاتِلٍ شَيْءٌ لَوَرَّثْتُكَ مِنْهُ " ثُمَّ دَعَا أَخَا الْمَقْتُولِ فَأَعْطَاهُ إِيَّاهُ. هَذِهِ مَرَاسِيلُ يُؤَكِّدُ بَعْضُهَا بَعْضًا، وَقَدْ رُوِّينَاهُ مِنْ أَوْجُهٍ مَوْصُولَةٍ وَمُرْسَلَةٍ فِي كِتَابِ الْفَرَائِضِ.
Amr bin Shu'ayb (may Allah have mercy on him) said: A man of Kinanah named Qatadah struck his son with a sword for some reason; his leg was cut off and he died. When Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) learned of this, he said: "I will certainly kill Qatadah." Then Sayyiduna Suraqah bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) came and said: "He did not kill him deliberately." When Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) understood the matter, he said: "Tell him to bring 120 camels," and he brought them. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) took from them 30 hiqqah, 30 jadha'ah and 40 thaniyyah camels, and said to Qatadah: "Had I not heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say, 'There is no inheritance for the killer,' I would have made you an heir." Then he called the brother of the slain man and gave him the blood money.
These are mursal reports that strengthen one another, and we have narrated it through connected and mursal chains in the Book of Inheritance (Kitab al-Fara'id).
