Sunan Ibn Majah 2634 (Book 21, Hadith 20) #31988
Inheritance Rights of Those Without Heirs

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is the heir of those who have no heirs, and the maternal uncle is also an heir to those who have no heirs.

It was narrated from Miqdam Ash-Shami that the Messenger of Allah said: "I am the heir of the one who has no heir, and I will pay blood money on his behalf and inherit from him, and the maternal uncle is the heir of the one who has no heir; he pays the blood money on his behalf and inherits from him'."
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ دُرُسْتَ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ بُدَيْلِ بْنِ مَيْسَرَةَ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ، عَنْ رَاشِدِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي عَامِرٍ الْهَوْزَنِيِّ، عَنِ الْمِقْدَامِ الشَّامِيِّ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ أَنَا وَارِثُ مَنْ لاَ وَارِثَ لَهُ أَعْقِلُ عَنْهُ وَأَرِثُهُ وَالْخَالُ وَارِثُ مَنْ لاَ وَارِثَ لَهُ يَعْقِلُ عَنْهُ وَيَرِثُهُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith explains that when someone dies without any heirs, the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) will be their heir and pay their blood money on their behalf. Additionally, if there are no heirs for a person, then their maternal uncle will become their heir and pay the blood money on behalf of them. In Islam, it is important to take care of one's family members after death by paying diyah or blood money as a form of compensation for any harm caused by them in life. This hadith teaches us that even if someone has no family members left alive after they die, they still have rights that must be respected and taken care of by others in society.
