حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ السَّلَامِ بْنُ عَتِيقٍ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُبَارَکِ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَعِيلُ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ حُجْرٍ عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ يَحْيَی بْنِ الْمِقْدَامِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ أَنَا وَارِثُ مَنْ لَا وَارِثَ لَهُ أَفُکُّ عَانِيَهُ وَأَرِثُ مَالَهُ وَالْخَالُ وَارِثُ مَنْ لَا وَارِثَ لَهُ يَفُکُّ عَانِيَهُ وَيَرِثُ مَالَهُ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 2901
Narrated Al-Miqdam: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: I am the heirs of Him who has none, freeing him from his liabilities, and inheriting what he possesses. A maternal uncle is the heir of Him who has none, freeing him from his liabilities, and inheriting his property.
