حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قال: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " يَرِثُ الْوَلاَءَ مَنْ يَرِثُ الْمَالَ " . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ لَيْسَ إِسْنَادُهُ بِالْقَوِيِّ .
Unreviewed translation. All hadiths in this collection are available in five languages. Titles and introductions may remain in Arabic.
Qutaybah narrated to us; Ibn Lahi‘ah narrated to us, from ‘Amr ibn Shu‘ayb, from his father, from his grandfather: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, ‘The person who inherits the wala’ is the one who inherits the estate.’ Abu ‘Isa said: This hadith’s chain is not strong.
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
Wala’ is retained as a technical inheritance relationship associated with emancipation; this short passage does not define it further.
قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ لَيْسَ إِسْنَادُهُ بِالْقَوِيِّ .
The term wala’ refers to an inheritance relationship, but the source does not explain its details here.
Is it appropriate to retain wala’ as a technical term rather than expand it beyond this context?
