حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ حَدَّثَنِى زَكَرِيَّاءُ بْنُ عَدِىٍّ أَخْبَرَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَقِيلٍ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ جَاءَتِ امْرَأَةُ سَعْدِ بْنِ الرَّبِيعِ بِابْنَتَيْهَا مِنْ سَعْدٍ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَاتَانِ ابْنَتَا سَعْدِ بْنِ الرَّبِيعِ قُتِلَ أَبُوهُمَا مَعَكَ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ شَهِيدًا وَإِنَّ عَمَّهُمَا أَخَذَ مَالَهُمَا فَلَمْ يَدَعْ لَهُمَا مَالاً وَلاَ تُنْكَحَانِ إِلاَّ وَلَهُمَا مَالٌ. قَالَ يَقْضِى اللَّهُ فِى ذَلِكَ. فَنَزَلَتْ آيَةُ الْمِيرَاثِ فَبَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِلَى عَمِّهِمَا فَقَالَ أَعْطِ ابْنَتَىْ سَعْدٍ الثُّلُثَيْنِ وَأَعْطِ أُمَّهُمَا الثُّمُنَ وَمَا بَقِىَ فَهُوَ لَكَ. قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ لاَ نَعْرِفُهُ إِلاَّ مِنْ حَدِيثِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَقِيلٍ وَقَدْ رَوَاهُ شَرِيكٌ أَيْضًا عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَقِيلٍ.
The wife of Sa'd Ibnur-Rabī' came with her two daughters from Sa'd to the Messenger of God, peace and blessings of God be upon him. She said, "Messenger of God, these are Sa'd Ibnur-Rabī''s two daughters. Their father was martyred when he was with you on the day of Uḥud and their paternal uncle has taken their property without leaving anything for them. They cannot get married unless they have some property." He replied, "God will be the judge in this [matter]." So the verse about inheritance was revealed, the Messenger of God, peace and blessings of God be upon him, sent for their paternal uncle and said to him, "Give Sa'd's daughters two thirds [of his property], their mother one eighth, and what remains is yours."

حَدَّثَنَا بُنْدَارٌ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الأَصْبَهَانِىِّ عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ وَهُوَ ابْنُ وَرْدَانَ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أَنَّ مَوْلًى لِلنَّبِىِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَقَعَ مِنْ عِذْقِ نَخْلَةٍ فَمَاتَ فَقَالَ النَّبِىُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم انْظُرُوا هَلْ لَهُ مِنْ وَارِثٍ. قَالُوا لاَ. قَالَ فَادْفَعُوهُ إِلَى بَعْضِ أَهْلِ الْقَرْيَةِ. وَهَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ.
A freed slave of the Prophet, peace and blessings of God be upon him, fell from the foliage of a date palm and died.

He said, “Then distribute his inheritance to some of the people of the city.” (1) Footnotes: (1): The Prophet, peace and blessings of God be upon him, did not receive the inheritance himself, as prophets, peace and blessings of God be upon them, neither inherit, nor are they appointed as heirs.

The Messenger of God, peace and blessings of God be upon him, said, “The wealth of a freed slave (1) is inherited by the heirs [of his emancipator] (2).” Footnotes: (1) i.e. if he passes away leaving behind no family. (2) i.e. when the emancipator is no longer alive. The inheritance is only distributed among the male paternal relatives of the emancipator, not the females. A woman only inherits from a freed slave if she is the one who freed that slave. Click on ḥadīth to read more
