ibnmajah:2732 – Abū Bakr b. Abū Shaybah > Abū Usāmah > Ḥusayn al-Muʿallim > ʿAmr b. Shuʿayb from his father from his grandfather

“Rabab bin Hudhaifah (bin Sa’eed) bin Sahm married Umm Wa’il bint Ma’mar Al-Jumahiyyah, and she bore him three sons. Their mother died and her sons inherited her houses and the Wala’ of her freed slaves. ‘Amr bin ‘As took them out to Sham, and they died of the plague of ‘Amwas. ‘Amr inherited from them, and he was their ‘Asabah.* When ‘Amr came back, Banu Ma’mar came to him and they referred their dispute with him concerning the Wala’ of their sister to ‘Umar. ‘Umar said: ‘I will judge between you according to what I heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. I heard him say: “What the son or father acquires goes to his. ‘Asabah, no matter who they are.’” So he ruled in our favour and wrote a document to that effect, in which was the testimony of ‘Abdur-Rahman bin ‘Awf, Zaid bin Thabit and someone else. Then when ‘Abdul-Malik bin Marwan was appointed caliph, a freed slave of hers (Umm Wa’il’s) died, leaving behind two thousand Dinar. I heard that that ruling had been changed, so they referred the dispute to Hisham bin Isma’il. We referred the matter to ‘Abdul-Malik, and brought him the document of ‘Umar. He said: ‘I thought that this was a ruling concerning which there was no doubt. I never thought that the people of Al-Madinah would reach such a state that they would doubt this ruling. So he ruled in our favour, and it remained like that afterwards.”  

ابن ماجة:٢٧٣٢ – حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنٌ الْمُعَلِّمُ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ قَالَ تَزَوَّجَ رِئَابُ بْنُ حُذَيْفَةَ بْنِ سُعَيْدِ بْنِ سَهْمٍ أُمَّ وَائِلٍ بِنْتَ مَعْمَرٍ الْجُمَحِيَّةَ فَوَلَدَتْ لَهُ ثَلاَثَةً فَتُوُفِّيَتْ أُمُّهُمْ فَوَرِثَهَا بَنُوهَا رِبَاعًا وَوَلاَءَ مَوَالِيهَا فَخَرَجَ بِهِمْ عَمْرُو بْنُ الْعَاصِ مَعَهُ إِلَى الشَّامِ فَمَاتُوا فِي طَاعُونِ عَمْوَاسَ فَوَرِثَهُمْ عَمْرٌو وَكَانَ عَصَبَتَهُمْ فَلَمَّا رَجَعَ عَمْرُو بْنُ الْعَاصِ جَاءَ بَنُو مَعْمَرٍ يُخَاصِمُونَهُ فِي وَلاَءِ أُخْتِهِمْ إِلَى عُمَرَ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ أَقْضِي بَيْنَكُمْ بِمَا

abudawud:2917 – ʿAbdullāh b. ʿAmr b. Abū al-Ḥajjāj Abū Maʿmar > ʿAbd al-Wārith > Ḥusayn al-Muʿallim > ʿAmr b. Shuʿayb from his father from his grandfather

On his father's authority, said that his grandfather reported: Rabab ibn Hudhayfah married a woman and three sons were born to him from her. Their mother then died. They inherited her houses and had the right of inheritance of her freed slaves. Amr ibn al-'As was the agnate of her sons. He sent them to Syria where they died. Amr ibn al-'As then came. A freed slave of hers died and left some property. Her brothers disputed with him and brought the case to Umar ibn al-Khattab. Umar reported the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: Whatever property a son or a father receives as an heir will go to his agnates, whoever they may be. He then wrote a document for him, witnessed by AbdurRahman ibn Awf, Zayd ibn Thabit and one other person. When AbdulMalik became caliph, they presented the case to Hisham ibn Isma'il or Isma'il ibn Hisham (the narrator is doubtful). He sent them to 'Abd al-Malik who said: This is the decision which I have already seen. The narrator said: So he ('Abd al-Malik) made the decision on the basis of the document of Umar ibn al-Khattab, and that is still with us till this moment.

bayhaqi:21502 – Abū ʿAlī al-Rūdhbārī > Muḥammad b. Bakr > Abū Dāwud > ʿAbdullāh b. ʿAmr b. Abū al-Ḥajjāj Abū Maʿmar > ʿAbd al-Wārith > Ḥusayn al-Muʿallim > ʿAmr b. Shuʿayb from his father from his grandfather > Riʾāb b. Ḥudhayfah Tazawwaj Āmraʾah

[Machine] "The child does not belong to the father or the mother, rather it is attributed to its lineage. Whoever says, 'I have written a book for him in which there is the testimony of Abdur-Rahman ibn Auf and Zaid ibn Thabit,' and another man, when Abd al-Malik was appointed as a ruler, they disputed whether it should be referred to Hisham ibn Isma'il or Isma'il ibn Hisham. They raised the matter to Abd al-Malik and he said, 'This is from the legal judgment that I did not see.' He ruled for us according to the book of Umar ibn al-Khattab, and we have been following it until now.' The Sheikh, may Allah have mercy on him, said this in this narration, and we have also narrated from Sa'id ibn al-Musayyib, from Umar ibn al-Khattab, and Uthman ibn Affan, for they said that the allegiance goes to the elder and the narrator from Ibn al-Musayyib, from Umar is more authentic than the narration of Amr ibn Shuayb. As for the hadith that is mentioned, it does not contain the statement of the Prophet ﷺ regarding allegiance."
