Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ طَاوُسٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏"‏ أَلْحِقُوا الْفَرَائِضَ بِأَهْلِهَا فَمَا بَقِيَ فَلأَوْلَى رَجُلٍ ذَكَرٍ ‏"‏‏.‏

Translation

Sulayman ibn Harb narrated to us; Wuhayb narrated to us, from Ibn Tawus, from his father, from Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), from the Prophet ﷺ, who said: Give the prescribed shares of inheritance to those entitled to them; whatever remains goes to the closest male relative.
