English translation

2901. It was reported from Šālih bin Yaḥyā bin Al-Miqdām, from his father, from his grandfather who said: "I heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ saying: 'I am the heir of the one who has no heir, I fulfill his liabilities, and I inherit from him. And a maternal uncle is the heir of the one who has no heir, fulfilling his liabilities, and inheriting his wealth.'" (Hasan)

Arabic text

2901 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ السَّلَامِ بْنُ عَتِيقٍ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ حُجْرٍ، عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ يَحْيَى بْنِ الْمِقْدَامِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «أَنَا وَارِثُ مَنْ لَا وَارِثَ لَهُ، أَفُكُّ عَانِيَهُ، وَأَرِثُ مَالَهُ، وَالْخَالُ وَارِثُ مَنْ لَا وَارِثَ لَهُ، يَفُكُّ عَانِيَهُ وَيَرِثُ مَالَهُ»

Commentary

These and similar narrations appear again, see no. 2954. Scholars differ over whether this responsibility is specific to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ or does it apply to the leaders after him. According to Al-Hāfiz Ibn Hajar, it also applies to the leaders after him.
