Narrated Amr Bin Suhaib: On his father 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 AlAs was the agnate of her sons. He sent them to Syria where they died. Amr Ibn AlAs then came. A freed slave of hers died and left some property. Her brothers disputed with him and brought the case to Umar Ibn AlKhattab. 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 Abdulrahman Ibn Awuf ; Zayd Ibn Thabit and one other person. When AbdulMalik became caliph; they presented the case to Hisham Ibn Ismail or Ismail Ibn Hisham the narrator is doubtful. He sent them to Abd AlMalik who said: This is the decision which I have already seen. The narrator said: So he Abd AlMalik made the decision on the basis of the document of Umar Ibn AlKhattab; and that is still with us till this moment.
