حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ طَاوُسٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رضى الله عنهما عَنِ

النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «أَلْحِقُوا الْفَرَائِضَ بِأَهْلِهَا فَمَا بَقِيَ فَلأَوْلَى رَجُلٍ ذَكَرٍ»

The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said, “Give the Faraid, (the shares prescribed in the Qur’an) to those who are entitled to receive it, and then whatever remains, should be given to the closest male relative of the deceased.”

ইবনু ‘আব্বাস (রাঃ) সূত্রে নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেছেনঃ সুনির্দিষ্ট অংশের হকদারদের মীরাস পৌঁছে দাও। অতঃপর যা বাকী থাকবে তা (মৃতের) নিকটতম পুরুষের জন্য। [৬৭৩২]

ہم سے سلیمان بن حرب نے بیان کیا، کہا ہم سے وہیب نے بیان کیا، ان سے ابن طاؤس نے، ان سے ان کے والد نے اور ان سے ابن عباس رضی اللہ عنہما نے کہ نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا ”میراث اس کے حقدار تک پہنچا دو اور جو باقی رہ جائے وہ سب سے قریب والے مرد کو دے دو۔“

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Sulaiman bin Harb] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Wuhaib] dari [Ibnu Thawus] dari [ayahnya] dari [Ibnu 'Abbas] radliallahu 'anhuma, dari Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda: "Berikanlah bagian fara`idh (warisan yang telah ditetapkan) kepada yang berhak, maka bagian yang tersisa bagi pewaris lelaki yang paling dekat (nasabnya)

İbn Abbas'ın nakline göre Resulullah Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem "Miras paylarını sahiplerine veriniz. Bu paylardan geri kalan herhangi bir şey de baba tarafından en yakın olan erkek kişiye aittir" buyurmuştur

Sahih al-Bukhari 6737, Book 85, Laws of Inheritance (Al-Faraa'id), Hadith 14. 1 min read

What it means

The Prophet (ﷺ) commands those who are in charge of dividing the inheritance to distribute it fairly among its rightful beneficiaries, according to the Shariah rules, as Allah Almighty willed. Those who are entitled to prescribed shares of the inheritance should be given their shares that are set for them in the Qur’an, which are: two-thirds, one-third, one-sixth, one-half, one-quarter, and one-eighth.

Whatever remains after that should be given to the closest male relatives, who are called ‘Asabah (male relatives by agnation).

What it teaches

  • The Hadīth represents a rule in the division of inheritance.
  • The distribution of the fixed shares of inheritance begins with those who are entitled to the prescribed portions.
  • What remains after distributing the prescribed shares should be given to the agnates.
  • Inheritance should be given to the closer agnates and then the next in closeness. A distant agnate, like the uncle, may not receive inheritance while a closer agnate, like the father, is present.
  • Agnates are entitled to nothing if the prescribed shares consume all the inheritance, leaving nothing behind.
