Sayyiduna Miqdam (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates this statement of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "Whoever leaves behind a burden, he should come to us, and whoever leaves behind wealth, it will go to his heirs. I am his heir for the one who has no heir; I will pay his blood money and I will also become his heir. And for the one who has no heir, the maternal uncle becomes his heir; he will pay his blood money and also become his heir."
