Sunan Ibn Majah 2732
It was
narrated from ‘Amr bin Shu’aib, from his father, that his
grandfather said:
“Rabab bin Hudhaifah (bin Sa’eed) bin Sahm
married
Umm Wa’il bint Ma’mar Al-Jumahiyyah, and she bore him
three sons.
Their mother died and her sons inherited her houses and
the Wala’ of
her freed slaves. ‘Amr bin ‘As took them out to
Sham, and they died of
the plague of ‘Amwas. ‘Amr inherited from
them, and he was their
‘Asabah.* When ‘Amr came back, Banu Ma’mar
came to him and they
referred their dispute with him concerning the
Wala’ of their sister
to ‘Umar. ‘Umar said: ‘I will judge
between you according to what I
heard from the Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ). I heard him say: “What the
son or father acquires goes to
his. ‘Asabah, no matter who they are.’”
So he ruled in our
favour and wrote a document to that effect, in
which was the
testimony of ‘Abdur-Rahman bin ‘Awf, Zaid bin Thabit and
someone
else. Then when ‘Abdul-Malik bin Marwan was appointed caliph,
a
freed slave of hers (Umm Wa’il’s) died, leaving behind two
thousand
Dinar. I heard that that ruling had been changed, so they
referred the
dispute to Hisham bin Isma’il. We referred the matter
to ‘Abdul-Malik,
and brought him the document of ‘Umar. He said:
‘I thought that this
was a ruling concerning which there was no
doubt. I never thought that
the people of Al-Madinah would reach such
a state that they would
doubt this ruling. So he ruled in our favour,
and it remained like
that afterwards.”
