Bayhaqi 18335 — A captive of unknown lineage does not inherit
قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " لَوْ يُعْطَى النَّاسُ بِدَعْوَاهُمْ لَادَّعَى نَاسٌ دِمَاءَ رِجَالٍ وَأَمْوَالَهُمْ، وَلَكِنِ الْيَمِينُ عَلَى الْمُدَّعَى عَلَيْهِ ".
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If people were given (what they ask) merely on the basis of their claims, some people would claim the blood and the wealth of others; but the oath is upon the one against whom the claim is made."
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، أنبأ يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، أنبأ حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ يُوسُفَ بْنِ مِهْرَانَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ كَانَ لَا يُوَرِّثُ الْحَمِيلَ.
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said that Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) would not make anyone an heir of a captive (hamil). (That is, a captive who is moved from place to place.)
