2103. Abū Umāmah bin Sahl bin Ḥunāif said: “‘Umar bin Al-Khaṭṭāb sent me with a letter to Abū ‘Ubaidah (saying) that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: ‘Allāh and His Messenger are responsible for the one who has no patron. And the maternal uncle inherits from the one who has no heirs.’” (Hasan) [Abū ‘Eisā said:] There are narrations on this topic from ‘Āishah and Al-Miqdām bin Ma’dikarib. This Hadīth is Hasan Sahih.
٢١٠٣ - حَدَّثَنَا بُنْدَارٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ الزُّبَيْرِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ ، عَنْ حَكِيمِ بْنِ حَكِيمِ بْنِ عَبَّادِ بْنِ حُنَيْفٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ بْنِ سَهْلِ بْنِ حُنَيْفٍ قَالَ: «كَتَبَ مَعِي عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ إِلَى أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ» أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ مَوْلَى مَنْ لَا مَوْلَى لَهُ، وَالْخَالُ وَارِثُ مَنْ لَا وَارِثَ لَهُ. وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، وَالْمِقْدَامِ بْنِ مَعْدِي كَرِبَ. وَهَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ.

Dhawal-Arḥām (loosely translated as 'kin') are all those relatives of the deceased person, be they from father's side or mother's, who are neither entitled to get the prescribed shares (Farā'id) nor do they belong to the category of ʿAṣabah (the next of kin from the father's side). They are either female members themselves, or are related to the deceased person through some female member - maternal grandfather, maternal grandson, maternal uncle and maternal aunt - and so on. They shall only have their share in inheritance if no recipients of Farā'id or members belonging to the ʿAṣabah category are alive.
