حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْكِنْدِيُّ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَالِدٍ الأَحْمَرُ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ، أَنَّ أَبَا قَتَادَةَ، - رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي مُدْلِجٍ - قَتَلَ ابْنَهُ فَأَخَذَ مِنْهُ عُمَرُ مِائَةً مِنَ الإِبِلِ ثَلاَثِينَ حِقَّةً وَثَلاَثِينَ جَذَعَةً وَأَرْبَعِينَ خَلِفَةً . فَقَالَ أَيْنَ أَخُو الْمَقْتُولِ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ " لَيْسَ لِقَاتِلٍ مِيرَاثٌ " .

Abu Kurayb and Abdullah ibn Said al-Kindi reported to us; they said: Abu Khalid al-Ahmar reported to us, from Yahya ibn Said, from Amr ibn Shuayb: Abu Qatadah, a man from Banu Mudlij, killed his son, so Umar took one hundred camels from him: thirty mature she-camels, thirty young she-camels, and forty pregnant she-camels. He asked, ‘Where is the brother of the slain man?’ I heard the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and grant him peace) say, ‘A killer does not inherit.’

The narrator says Abu Qatadah killed his own son; Umar assessed one hundred camels in three age categories.
