Saeed bin Musayyib says that the opinion of Sayyiduna Umar was that only the 'asaba (male agnates) should receive the blood money (diyah), and a woman should not inherit from her husband's blood money, until Sayyiduna Dahhak bin Sufyan informed him that the Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) wrote to me in a letter: that I should consider the wife of Ashyam Dhibabi as an heir in her husband's blood money. Upon this, Sayyiduna Umar withdrew his opinion.
