2265. 'Amr bin Shu'āib narrated from his father, from his grandfather, that the Prophet ﷺ ruled regarding those who wished to be considered as inheritors after their father's death — meaning those whom they ascribed themselves to. He ruled that any child that was born to a slave owned by her master, when he engaged in intercourse with her, would be considered as a part of the one who considered him (as a son). But he will not be given any inheritance that had already been distributed before him. He will, however, be given his portion of the inheritance that has not yet been distributed. And such (a child) will not be considered a son if his father denied him. And if the child was from a slave whom he did not own, or from a free woman whom he had fornicated with, then the child will not be considered as his, nor will he inherit from him, even if the one who is considered his father accepts that he is the father, and that is because he is the child of fornication, regardless of whether it was from a free woman or a slave-girl. (Hasan)

2265 - حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ بْنُ فَرُّوخَ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَاشِدٍ، ح وحَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَاشِدٍ وَهُوَ أَشْبَعُ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ مُوسَى، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، قَالَ: «إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلّى الله عليه وسلم قَضَى أَنَّ كُلَّ مُسْتَلْحَقٍ اسْتُلْحِقَ بَعْدَ أَبِيهِ الَّذِي يُدْعَى لَهُ ادَّعَاهُ وَرَثَتُهُ، فَقَضَى أَنَّ كُلَّ مَنْ كَانَ مِنْ أَمَةٍ يَمْلِكُهَا يَوْمَ أَصَابَهَا، فَقَدْ لَحِقَ بِمَنْ اسْتَلْحَقَهُ، وَلَيْسَ لَهُ مِمَّا قُسِمَ قَبْلَهُ مِنَ الْمِيرَاثِ شَيْءٌ، وَمَا أَدْرَكَ مِنْ مِيرَاثٍ لَمْ يُقْسَمْ فَلَهُ نَصِيبُهُ، وَلَا يَلْحَقُ إِذَا كَانَ أَبُوهُ الَّذِي يُدْعَى لَهُ أَنْكَرَهُ، وَإِنْ كَانَ مِنْ أَمَةٍ لَمْ يَمْلِكْهَا، أَوْ مِنْ حُرَّةٍ عَاهَرَ بِهَا، فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَلْحَقُ بِهِ وَلَا يَرِثُ، وَإِنْ كَانَ الَّذِي يُدْعَى لَهُ هُوَ ادَّعَاهُ فَهُوَ وَلَدُ زِنْيَةٍ مِنْ حُرَّةٍ، كَانَ أَوْ أَمَةٍ»،
