Caution: Translations of Quran and Ḥadīth may lead to possible misapplications and misinterpretations. This site is intended for students of sacred knowledge that are proficient in comprehending classical Arabic and have a strong foundation in Islamic sciences. Also note that religious injunctions rely on several aspects beyond what one may glean through reading individual aḥādīth.
bayhaqi:12251Amaranī ʿUmar b. al-Khaṭṭāb Layālī Ṭāʿūn ʿAmwās > Kānat al-Qabīlah Tamūt Biʾasrihā Fayarithuhum Qawm Ākharūn > Faʾamaranī > Uwarrith

[Machine] That the living inherit from the dead, but the dead do not inherit from each other. The Sheikh said, as narrated from Sha'abi, from Umar that he inherited some of them from each other, from their offspring and in another narration, he said to Ali, "inherit these, so he inherited them from their offspring" and from Qatadah that Umar inherited the people of Ta'un Amwas, some of them from each other, so if one's hand and foot are on top of the other, he will inherit the higher from the lower and will not inherit the lower from the higher. These two narrations are disconnected. It has been said about Qatadah, from Rajaa' ibn Haywah, from Qabeesah ibn Dhu'ayb, from Umar, and he is also disconnected. So what we have narrated from Umar is the closest and Allah knows best.  

البيهقي:١٢٢٥١وَبِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ قَالَ أَمَرَنِي عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ لَيَالِيَ طَاعُونِ عَمْوَاسٍ قَالَ كَانَتِ الْقَبِيلَةُ تَمُوتُ بِأَسْرِهَا فَيَرِثُهُمْ قَوْمٌ آخَرُونَ قَالَ فَأَمَرَنِي

أَنْ أُوَرِّثَ الْأَحْيَاءَ مِنَ الْأَمْوَاتِ وَلَا أُوَرِّثَ الْأَمْوَاتَ بَعْضَهُمْ مِنْ بَعْضٍ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ وَقَدْ رُوِيَ عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ عَنْ عُمَرَ أَنَّهُ وَرَّثَ بَعْضَهُمْ مِنْ بَعْضٍ مِنْ تِلَادِ أَمْوَالِهِمْ وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِعَلِيٍّ ؓ وَرِّثْ هَؤُلَاءِ فَوَرَّثَهُمْ مِنْ تِلَادِ أَمْوَالِهِمْ وَعَنْ قَتَادَةَ أَنَّ عُمَرَ وَرَّثَ أَهْلَ طَاعُونِ عَمْوَاسٍ بَعْضَهُمْ مِنْ بَعْضٍ فَإِذَا كَانَتْ يَدُ أَحَدِهِمَا وَرِجْلُهُ عَلَى الْآخَرِ وَرَّثَ الْأَعْلَى مِنَ الْأَسْفَلِ وَلَمْ يُوَرِّثِ الْأَسْفَلَ مِنَ الْأَعْلَى وَهَاتَانِ الرِّوَايَتَانِ مُنْقَطِعَتَانِ وَقَدْ قِيلَ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ رَجَاءِ بْنِ حَيْوَةَ عَنْ قَبِيصَةَ بْنِ ذُؤَيْبٍ عَنْ عُمَرَ وَهُوَ أَيْضًا مُنْقَطِعٌ فَمَا رُوِّينَا عَنْ عُمَرَ أَشْبَهُ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ
