2634. It was narrated from Miqdâm Ash-Shâmi that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "I am the heir of the one who has no heir, and I will pay the blood money on his behalf and inherit from him, and the maternal uncle is the heir of the one who has no heir; he pays the blood money on his behalf and inherits from him." (Sahih)
2634 - حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ دُرُسْتَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ بُدَيْلِ بْنِ مَيْسَرَةَ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ، عَنْ رَاشِدِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي عَامِرٍ الْهَوْزَنِيِّ، عَنِ الْمِقْدَامِ الشَّامِيِّ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَنَا وَارِثُ مَنْ لَا وَارِثَ لَهُ، أَعْقِلُ عَنْهُ وَأَرِثُهُ، وَالْخَالُ وَارِثُ مَنْ لَا وَارِثَ لَهُ، يَعْقِلُ عَنْهُ وَيَرِثُهُ»

[1] The last phrase appears to be from Muhammad bin Sinân, one of the narrators. And Allāh knows best. And most of the narrations of this Hadith mentioning the Āyah are from Tkrimah.
The priority and shares of the heirs have been determined in the Noble Qur'an and the Sunnah of the Noble Prophet ﷺ. These heirs are called Ashābul-Furud, first responsibility holders. In the absence of these heirs, or after giving them their shares of inheritance, the rest of the property or wealth of the deceased goes to the Asabah, meaning those relatives of the deceased who are from the father's side, like the brother, nephew (son of brother) father's brother etc. In the absence of the Asabah, legacy goes to Dhul-Arhām. Meaning relatives of the deceased through the mother, like the maternal uncle, the mother's sister and the mother's father etc. As the priority is determined by the inheritance, the same priority remains in the payment of blood money.
