Sunan Abi Dawud 4575 (Book 41, Hadith 82) #24866
Inheritance Rights of the Deceased

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) declared the husband and child of a woman who was killed by another woman innocent, and ruled that her sons and husband should inherit from her.

Narrated Jabir ibn Abdullah: One of the two women of Hudhayl killed the other, Each of them had husband and sons. The Messenger of Allah fixed the blood-wit for the slain woman to be paid by the woman's relatives on the father's side. He declared her husband and the child innocent. The relatives of the woman who killed said: We shall inherit from her. The Messenger of Allah said: No, her sons and her husband should inherit from her.
حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ بْنُ زِيَادٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُجَالِدٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الشَّعْبِيُّ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، أَنَّ امْرَأَتَيْنِ، مِنْ هُذَيْلٍ قَتَلَتْ إِحْدَاهُمَا الأُخْرَى وَلِكُلِّ وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْهُمَا زَوْجٌ وَوَلَدٌ فَجَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ دِيَةَ الْمَقْتُولَةِ عَلَى عَاقِلَةِ الْقَاتِلَةِ وَبَرَّأَ زَوْجَهَا وَوَلَدَهَا ‏.‏ قَالَ فَقَالَ عَاقِلَةُ الْمَقْتُولَةِ مِيرَاثُهَا لَنَا قَالَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ لاَ مِيرَاثُهَا لِزَوْجِهَا وَوَلَدِهَا

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about inheritance rights of a deceased person. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ declared the husband and child of a woman who was killed by another woman innocent, meaning they were not responsible for her death. He also ruled that her sons and husband should inherit from her instead of the relatives on the father's side. This teaches us to respect our family members even after their death, as well as to be fair in distributing inheritance among them according to Islamic law. It also shows us how important it is to follow Islamic rulings in order to ensure justice for all parties involved in any dispute or disagreement.
