حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ زَيْدٍ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ يَرِثُ الْوَلَاءَ مَنْ وَرِثَ الْمَالَ مِنْ وَالِدٍ أَوْ وَلَدٍ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 324
It was narrated that 'Umar bin al-Khattab said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) say: "The loyalty {wala) of a freed slave (to his former master) is passed on to the one who inherits his wealth, father or son."
