حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ وَيَزِيدُ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ قَالَ قَالَ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ لَوْلَا أَنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ لَيْسَ لِقَاتِلٍ شَيْءٌ لَوَرَّثْتُكَ قَالَ وَدَعَا خَالَ الْمَقْتُولِ فَأَعْطَاهُ الْإِبِلَ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 347
It was narrated that 'Amr bin Shu'aib said: 'Umar (RA) said: Were it not that I heard the Messenger of Allah(PBUH) say, "The killer gets nothing (from the estate of the one he murdered)” I would have included you among the heirs. And he called the maternal uncle of the one who had been killed and gave the camels to him.
