#2473 It was
narrated from Abu Umamah bin Sahl bin Hunaif that a man shot
an arrow
at another man and killed him, and he had no heir except a
maternal
uncle. Abu ‘Ubaidah bin Jarrah wrote to ‘Umar about that, and
‘Umar wrote back to him saying that the Prophet (ﷺ) said:
“Allah
and
His Messenger are the guardians of the one who has no guardian,
and
the maternal uncle is the heir of one who has no other heir.”
