and he attributed him to his mother, and the man did not mention him in his li'an. This is verified by the fact that the child was a fetus in the womb, so the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Wait for her, and if she gives birth to him as a reddish-brown child, as if he were a wahar (a small lizard), with thin shanks, then I think nothing but that he has lied about her. And if she gives birth to him as one with curly hair, deep-set eyes, thick-shanked, and with full buttocks, then he belongs to the one whom she was accused of having committed the act with," based on the detestable description. When this is established, we return to the issue of the book and say: The scholars have differed regarding the inheritance of the child disavowed by li'an, and two narrations have been reported from Ahmad regarding it. The first is that his agnates are the agnates of his mother. It was narrated by Al-Athram and Hanbal. This is narrated from Ali, Ibn Abbas, and Ibn Umar. Al-Hasan, Ibn Sirin, Jabir ibn Zayd, Ata', Ash-Sha'bi, An-Nakha'i, Al-Hakam, Hammad, Ath-Thawri, and Al-Hasan ibn Salih have stated the same, except that Ali considers the one with a fixed share among the dhawi al-arham (uterine relatives) to be more entitled than the one who has no share, and he prioritized the ra'd (return) over others. The second narration is that his mother is his agnate, and if she is not present, then her agnates are his agnates. This was narrated by Abu Al-Harith and Muhanna. This is the view of Ibn Mas'ud. A similar view is narrated from Ali, Makhul, and Ash-Sha'bi, because of what was narrated from 'Amr ibn Shu'ayb, from his father, from his grandfather, that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) assigned the inheritance of the son of a woman who performed li'an to his mother and to her heirs after her. It was also narrated by Makhul,
