Volume 8 · Page 529979 - Issue: He said: 'Whoever bequeaths to his kin, it is divided equally between male and female, and it does not extend beyond four generations of ancestors; because the Prophet (peace be upon him) did not go beyond the Banu Hashim regarding the share of the kin'

Translation · EN

And from every hundred there is the like of that, which is eighty dinars. If he leaves a slave whose value is one hundred and two hundred, and bequeaths to a man one hundred and the entire slave, and bequeaths the slave to another, then in the case of approval, the slave is divided between them into two halves, and the owner of the one-third is entitled to one-third of the remainder.

In the case of rejection, the one to whom the slave was bequeathed receives one-third of him, and the other receives one-third of him and one-third of the one hundred. On the other view, the owner of the slave has one-fourth of him, and the other has one-fourth of him and one-half of the one hundred, as each of them returns to one-half of his bequest. If the two bequests do not exceed the one-third, such as a man who leaves five hundred and a slave whose value is one hundred, and bequeaths to a man one-sixth of his property and to another the slave, then there is no effect of rejection here; the owner of the undivided share takes one-sixth of the property and one-seventh of the slave, and the other takes six-sevenths of him. If he bequeaths to the owner of the undivided share one-fifth of the property, he has one hundred and one-sixth of the slave, and the owner of the slave has five-sixths of him. There is also no effect of rejection; because the two bequests did not extract from the property more than one-third of it.

979 - Issue: He said: "And whoever bequeaths to his relatives, it is for the male and the female equally, and it does not exceed four ancestors, because the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) did not go beyond the Banu Hashim with the share of the kinsman."

The summary of this is that when a man bequeaths to his relatives, or to the relatives of someone else, the bequest is for his children, the children of his father, the children of his grandfather, and the children of his grandfather's father, and the male and the female are equal in it. He does not give anything to those who are more distant than them. If he were to bequeath to the relatives of the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace), he would give to his children, the children of Abd al-Muttalib, and the children of Hashim, and he would not give anything to the Banu Abd Shams or the Banu Nawfal; because when Allah the Almighty said: "What Allah restored to His Messenger from the people of the villages is for Allah, the Messenger, and the kinsman" (Surah al-Hashr: 7), meaning the relatives of the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace), the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) gave to those whom we mentioned, and did not give anything to those who were more distant than them, such as the Banu Abd Shams and Nawfal, except that he gave to the Banu al-Muttalib,

ومن كلِّ مائةٍ مثلُ ذلك، وهو ثَمانُونَ دِينَارًا. ولو خَلَّفَ عَبْدًا قِيمَتُه مائةٌ ومائتَيْنِ، ووَصَّى لِرَجُلٍ بمائةٍ وبالعَبْدِ كلِّه، وَوَصَّى بالعَبْدِ لآخَرَ، ففى حالِ الإِجَازَةِ يُقَسَّمُ العَبْدُ بينهما نِصْفَيْنِ، ويَنْفَرِدُ صاحِبُ الثُّلُثِ بثُلُثِ الباقِى (١٢). وفى الرَّدِّ، لِلْمُوصَى له بالعَبْدِ ثُلُثُه، وللآخَرِ ثُلُثُه وثُلُثُ المائةِ. وعلى الوَجْهِ الآخَرِ، لِصَاحِبِ العَبْدِ رُبْعُه، وللآخَرِ رُبْعُه ونِصْفُ المائة، يَرْجِعُ كلُّ واحدٍ منهما إلى نِصْفِ وَصِيَّتِه. فإن لم تَزِد الوَصِيَّتانِ على الثُّلُثِ، كرَجُلٍ خَلَّفَ خَمْسَمائةٍ وعَبْدًا قِيمَتُه مائةٌ، ووَصَّى لِرَجُلٍ بِسُدُسِ مالِه، ولآخَرَ بالعَبْدِ، فلا أثَرَ لِلرَّدِّ ههُنا، ويَأْخُذُ صاحِبُ المُشَاعِ سُدُسَ المالِ وسُبعَ العَبْدِ، والآخَرُ سِتَّةَ أسْبَاعِه. وإن وَصَّى لِصَاحِبِ المُشَاعِ بخُمْسِ المالِ، فله مائةٌ وسُدُسُ العَبْدِ، ولِصَاحِب العَبْدِ خَمْسَةُ أسْدَاسِه. ولا أثَرَ لِلرَّدِّ أيضًا؛ لأنَّ الوَصِيَّتَيْنِ لم يَخْرُجْ بهما من المالِ أكْثَرُ من ثُلُثِه.

٩٧٩ - مسألة؛ قال: (وَمَنْ أوْصَى لِقَرَابَتِهِ، فَهُوَ لِلذَّكَرِ وَالْأُنْثَى بِالسَّوِيةِ، ولا يُجَاوِزُ بِهَا (١) أَرْبعَةَ آبَاءٍ؛ لِأَنَّ النَّبِىَّ -صلى اللَّه عليه وسلم- لَمْ يُجَاوِزْ بَنِى هَاشِمٍ بِسَهْمِ ذِى الْقُرْبَى)

وجملتُه أنَّ الرَّجُلَ إذا أَوْصَى لِقَرَابَتِه، أو لِقَرَابةِ فُلَانٍ، كانت الوَصِيَّةُ لأَوْلَادِه، ولأَوْلَادِ (٢) أَبيه، وأَوْلَادِ جَدِّه، وأوْلَادِ جَدِّ أَبِيه، ويَسْتَوِى فيه (٣) الذَّكَرُ والأُنْثَى، ولا يُعْطِى مَنْ هو أبْعَدُ منهم شَيْئًا، فلو وَصَّى لِقَرَابةِ النبيِّ -صلى اللَّه عليه وسلم-، أعْطى أوْلَادَه وأوْلَادَ عَبْدِ المُطَّلِبِ وأوْلَادَ هاشِمٍ، ولم يُعْطِ بَنِى عَبْدِ شَمْسٍ ولا بَنِى نَوْفَلٍ شَيْئًا؛ لأنَّ اللهَ تعالى لمَّا قال: {مَا أَفَاءَ اللَّهُ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْقُرَى فَلِلَّهِ وَلِلرَّسُولِ وَلِذِي الْقُرْبَى} (٤). يعني قُرَباءَ النبيِّ -صلى اللَّه عليه وسلم-، أعْطَى النبيُّ -صلى اللَّه عليه وسلم- هؤلاء الذين ذَكَرْنَاهُم، ولم يُعْطِ مَنْ هو أبْعَدُ منهم، كبَنِى عَبْدِ شَمْسٍ ونَوْفَلٍ شَيْئًا، إلَّا أنَّه أعْطَى بَنِى المُطَّلِبِ،
