حَدَّثَنَا مَنْصُورُ بْنُ أَبِي مُزَاحِمٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَکْرٍ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَقَ عَنْ الْبَرَائِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ قَالَ جَائَ رَجُلٌ إِلَی النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يَسْتَفْتُونَکَ فِي الْکَلَالَةِ فَمَا الْکَلَالَةُ قَالَ تُجْزِيکَ آيَةُ الصَّيْفِ فَقُلْتُ لِأَبِي إِسْحَقَ هُوَ مَنْ مَاتَ وَلَمْ يَدَعْ وَلَدًا وَلَا وَالِدًا قَالَ کَذَلِکَ ظَنُّوا أَنَّهُ کَذَلِکَ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 2889
Narrated Al-Bara ibn Azib: A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: Messenger of Allah, they ask thee for a legal decision about a kalalah. What is meant by kalalah? He replied: The verse revealed in summer is sufficient for you. I asked Abu Ishaq: Does it mean a person who dies and leaves neither children nor father? He said: This is so. The people think it is so.
