[Machine] That Tariq freed a wandering man, and the wandering man died and left behind wealth. His wealth was presented to the owner of Mecca. The owner of Mecca sent it to Tariq and offered him his wealth, but Tariq refused to take it. The employee of Mecca wrote to Umar ibn al-Khattab, and Umar wrote back to gather the wealth and offer it to Tariq. If he accepts it, then give it to him, and if he doesn't accept it, then buy slaves with it, and free them. Uqbah said, "I can visualize Ata' holding fifteen or sixteen (slaves) in his hand." It was narrated by Qatadah and Qais bin Saad from Ata' that he said, "He wrote to Umar ibn al-Khattab, and Umar wrote back that he had the more right to his inheritance." Al-Shafi'i, may Allah have mercy on him, said, "It is similar to Ata' hearing it from Tariq, and even if he did not hear it from him, then the hadith of Sulaiman bin Yassar is Mursal." The Shaykh, may Allah have mercy on him, said, "Meaning what is narrated to those who disagree with him in this matter from Sulaiman bin Yassar, that a man from the Hajj freed a wandering woman and he had a child from the Banu Makhzum, and Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, ruled against them according to his own reasoning." Abu al-Maqdisi said to him, "What if it happened to my son?" He said, "In that case, he would not have anything." He said, "Then he is like Al-Arqam." Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, said, "Then he is like Al-Arqam."
