Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنِ ابْنِ الْأَصْبَهَانِيِّ عَنْ مُجَاهِدِ بْنِ وَرْدَانَ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أَنَّ مَوْلًى لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَقَعَ مِنْ نَخْلَةٍ فَمَاتَ وَتَرَكَ شَيْئًا وَلَمْ يَدَعْ وَلَدًا وَلَا حَمِيمًا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَعْطُوا مِيرَاثَهُ رَجُلًا مِنْ أَهْلِ قَرْيَتِهِ.
English Translation
Waki' narrated to us: Sufyan narrated to us, from Ibn al-Asbahani, from Mujahid ibn Wardan, from Urwah ibn al-Zubayr, from A'ishah, that a freedman of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, fell from a palm tree and died, leaving behind some property but no child and no close relative. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Give his inheritance to a man from the people of his village."
