Sunan Abi Dawud 2901

'Abd al-Salam ibn 'Atiq al-Dimashqi narrated to us: Muhammad ibn al-Mubarak narrated to us: Isma'il ibn 'Ayyash narrated to us, from Yazid ibn Hujr, from Salih ibn Yahya ibn al-Miqdam, from his father, from his grandfather, who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: ‘I am the heir of one who has no heir; I release his captive and inherit his property. The maternal uncle is the heir of one who has no heir; he releases his captive and inherits his property.’
