Commentary

In the terminology of the science of Hadīth, Mursal means a narration in which the original transmitter, the name of the Prophet's Companion is not given. But his pupil himself narrated it on his own. 'Relative': Every relative cannot claim to be the guardian of the slain person. The first and foremost people entitled are the person's sons and grandsons, then the father and grandfather, then the brothers, nephews, then the uncles, etc.
