English translation

2742. It was narrated from Wāthilah bin Asqa' that the Prophet ﷺ said: "A woman may get three types of inheritance: From her freed slave woman, a foundling whom she raised, and her child concerning whom she swore in Li'ân that he was legitimate." (Da'if) Muhamamd bin Yazid (one of the narrators) said: "This Hadith was not reported by anyone other than Hishâm."

2742 - حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ رُؤْبَةَ التَّغْلِبِيُّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْوَاحِدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ النَّصْرِيِّ، عَنْ وَاثِلَةَ بْنِ الْأَسْقَعِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " الْمَرْأَةُ تَحْرِزُ ثَلَاثَ مَوَارِيثَ: عَتِيقِهَا، وَلَقِيطِهَا، وَوَلَدِهَا الَّذِي لَاعَنَتْ عَلَيْهِ " قال محمد بن يزيد ما روى هذا الحديث غير هشام

Commentary

The issue of the inheritance of a freed slave is mentioned in Hadith no. 2734. In the case of Li'ân, the child belongs to the mother, he is not considered the son of the woman's husband. (See Hadith no. 2069), therefore, the mother is the heir of her child for whom she is blamed.
