Sayyiduna Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "He is the mawla of my mother, and I will be his heir." So Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) decided that: "The inheritance will go to Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him), and the blood money will be upon Ali (may Allah be pleased with him)." And he said: "The guardianship will be for the family of Zubair as long as their lineage remains." It was asked: "What is meant by lineage?" He replied: "A son; if there is no son, then the guardianship will return to Ali (may Allah be pleased with him)."

سَعِيدٌ قَالَ: نا هُشَيْمٌ، قَالَ: أنا الشَّيْبَانِيُّ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، قَالَ: «قَضَى بِوَلَاءِ مَوَالِي صَفِيَّةَ لِلزُّبَيْرِ دُونَ الْعَبَّاسِ، وَقَضَى بِوَلَاءِ مَوَالِي أُمِّ هَانِئٍ لِجَعْدَةَ بْنِ هُبَيْرَةَ دُونَ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ»
Ash-Sha'bi, may Allah have mercy on him, said: "The guardianship of Safiyyah's freed slaves was given to Zubayd bin Harun bin Zubair bin Al-Awwam, not to Abbas, and the guardianship of Umm Hani's freed slaves was given to Ja'idah bin Hubayrah, not to Ali, may Allah be pleased with him."
