ذِكْرُ خَبَرٍ ثَالِثٍ يُصَرِّحُ بِصِحَّةِ مَا ذَكَرْنَاهُ
[Machine] Umar wrote to Abu Ubaydah: Teach your boys swimming and archery. Abu Ubaydah said: They had different opinions about these matters. Then, an arrow came from the west and hit a boy, killing him. The boy's uncle was the only one who knew about the boy's family. Abu Ubaydah wrote to Umar and informed him about the boy's incident and asked to whom his compensation should be given. Umar wrote back to him and said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Allah and His Messenger are protectors of those who have no protector, and the uncle is the inheritor of those who have no inheritor."
كَتَبَ عُمَرُ ؓ إِلَى أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ أَنْ عَلِّمُوا صِبْيَانَكُمُ الْعَوْمَ وَمُقَاتِلَتَكُمُ الرَّمْيَ قَالَ فَكَانُوا يَخْتَلِفُونَ بَيْنَ الْأَغْرَاضِ قَالَ فَجَاءَ سَهْمٌ غَرْبٌ فَأَصَابَ غُلَامًا فَقَتَلَهُ وَلَمْ يُعْلَمْ لِلْغُلَامِ أَهْلٌ إِلَّا خَالُهُ فَكَتَبَ أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ إِلَى عُمَرَ فَذَكَرَ لَهُ شَأْنَ الْغُلَامِ إِلَى مَنْ يَدْفَعُ عَقْلَهُ فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ مَوْلَى مَنْ لَا مَوْلَى لَهُ وَالْخَالُ وَارِثُ مَنْ لَا وَارِثَ لَهُ»
