It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) concerning the inheritance of the son of a woman who underwent li'an that he said: "All of his inheritance is for his mother." All the narrators of this hadith are reliable (thiqah), and it is mursal; however, it has a supporting narration (shahid).

It is narrated from a man of the people of Syria that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said concerning the child of a woman who underwent li'an: "His mother is his 'asabah (heir)."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that a case was brought to Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) concerning the child of a woman with whom li'an had taken place. He (may Allah be pleased with him) gave his inheritance to his mother and made her his 'asabah. This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it; and Muhammad bin Ishaq in this chain is, without any doubt, "al-Saghani".

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Al-wala' (the bond between a freed slave and his former master) is a strong bond like the bond of lineage; it can neither be sold nor given away as a gift (hibah)." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Al-wala' (the bond of patronage) is a part of lineage; it can neither be sold nor given to anyone as a gift."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There is no room in Islam for musa'ah (claiming lineage through fornication with a slave woman). Whoever made such an attempt in the Days of Ignorance, I have attached him to his 'asabah. And whoever claims a child (as his own) born without marriage (as a result of fornication), that child will neither inherit (from the claimant) nor be inherited from." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it.

Amr bin Shu'ayb narrates from his father, from his grandfather, that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever claims a child born of a slave woman whom he did not own, or (claims a child) of a free woman with whom he committed fornication, that child will not be attached to him (the claimant) nor will he inherit from him. He is a child of fornication and will be counted among his mother's family, whoever they may be."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Full siblings (sharing both mother and father) inherit from one another, to the exclusion of half-brothers (sharing only the father)."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the wife of Sayyiduna Sa'd bin al-Rabi' (may Allah be pleased with him) came (to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "O Messenger of Allah! These are the two daughters of Sa'd bin al-Rabi'. Their father was martyred with you at the Battle of Uhud, and now their paternal uncle has taken all their wealth and has left nothing for them." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah Almighty will decide concerning this." The narrator said: Then the verse of inheritance was revealed, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent for their uncle and said: "Give the two daughters of Sa'd two-thirds, give their mother one-eighth, and whatever remains is yours." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was coming, riding a donkey, when a man met him and said: "O Messenger of Allah! A man has died who left his paternal aunt and his maternal aunt, and he has no heir other than them." The narrator said: He (peace and blessings be upon him) raised his head towards the sky and said: "O Allah, a man has left his paternal aunt and his maternal aunt, and he has no heir other than them." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Where is the questioner?" He said: Here I am. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There is no inheritance for the two of them." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, because although his son testified to the poor memory of Abdullah bin Ja'far al-Madini, he is not among those whose hadith is abandoned.
