Inheritance of Infants

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ taught that when an infant dies, it will be treated as an heir.

Narrated AbuHurayrah: The Prophet said: When an infant has raised its voice (and then dies), it will be treated as an heir.
حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الأَعْلَى، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ إِسْحَاقَ - عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ قُسَيْطٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ إِذَا اسْتَهَلَّ الْمَوْلُودُ وُرِّثَ

QUICK LESSONS:
Respect all lives regardless of age or status; Value your family members; Prepare yourself for death; Show compassion towards others; Treat infants who die with respect by treating them as heirs in terms of inheritance rights .

EXPLANATIONS:
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught that when a baby dies, they should be treated as if they were an heir. This means that the baby's family should receive the same inheritance rights as any other family member would have received had the baby lived. This is a reminder to us of how important and valuable every life is, even those who are too young to understand or appreciate it. It also teaches us to value our families and take care of them in times of need.

The Prophet ﷺ also reminded us that death can come at any time and we must always be prepared for it. He encouraged us to live our lives with kindness and compassion towards others so that we can leave behind a legacy of love and understanding for future generations. We must remember that no matter how small or insignificant someone may seem, their life still matters and deserves respect just like anyone else's does.
