69. Chapter
٦٩۔ كِتَابُ الْوَلَاءِ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I am more entitled to the believers than themselves. So whoever dies and leaves wealth, his wealth is for his heirs, and whoever leaves behind dependents or debt, then I am his guardian, so I shall look after him."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَا أَوْلَى بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ مِنْ أَنْفُسِهِمْ فَمَنْ مَاتَ وَتَرَكَ مَالًا فَمَالُهُ لِمَوَالِي الْعَصَبَةِ وَمَنْ تَرَكَ كَلًّا أَوْ ضَيَاعًا فَأَنَا وَلِيُّهُ فَلْأُدْعَى لَهُ
[Machine] Hamzah ibn Abd al-Muttalib had a slave whom she freed, but the slave died, leaving behind his daughter and Hamzah's slave. This matter was brought to the attention of the Prophet ﷺ , so he gave half to his daughter and half to the daughter of Hamzah's slave. This is reported from various angles, confirming each other, with evidence from the words of Ali and Zaid in the Book of Inheritance.
حَمْزَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ كَانَ لَهَا مَوْلًى أَعْتَقَتْهُ فَمَاتَ الْمَوْلَى وَتَرَكَ ابْنَتَهُ وَمَوْلَاتَهُ ابْنَةَ حَمْزَةَ فَرُفِعَ ذَلِكَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَأَعْطَى ابْنَتَهَ النِّصْفَ وَأَعْطَى مَوْلَاتَهُ ابْنَةَ حَمْزَةَ النِّصْفَ هَذَا مُرْسَلٌ وَقَدْ رُوِيَ مِنْ أَوْجُهٍ أُخَرَ مُرْسَلًا وَبَعْضُهَا يُؤَكِّدُ بَعْضًا وَقَدْ مَضَى ذَلِكَ بِشَوَاهِدِهِ مَعَ قَوْلِ عَلِيٍّ وَزَيْدٍ ؓ فِيهِ فِي كِتَابِ الْفَرَائِضِ
[Machine] Ali said: "Al-walāʾ is a branch of slavery. Whoever attains loyalty, attains inheritance."
قَالَ عَلِيٌّ ؓ الْوَلَاءُ شُعْبَةٌ مِنَ الرِّقِّ فَمَنْ أَحْرَزَ وَلَاءً أَحْرَزَ مِيرَاثًا
