Bayhaqi Q18335 — 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."
