2110. Sa'eed bin Al-Musayyab said: "Umar said: 'The blood- money is upon the ‘Aqilah, and the wife does not inherit anything from the blood-money of her husband.’ So Ad-Dahhak bin Sufyan Al-Kilabi informed him that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ wrote to him, (saying) to give the wife of Ashyam Ad-Dababi the inheritance from her husband’s blood-money.” (Sahih) [Abū ‘Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Sahih.
٢١١٠ - حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ وَأَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ وَغَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ قَالُوا: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ، قَالَ: قَالَ عُمَرُ : «الدِّيَةُ عَلَى الْعَاقِلَةِ،» وَلَا تَرِثُ الْمَرْأَةُ مِنْ دِيَةِ زَوْجِهَا شَيْئًا، فَأَخْبَرَهُ الضَّحَّاكُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ الْكِلَابِيُّ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ أَنْ وَرِّثِ امْرَأَةَ أَشْيَمَ الضِّبَابِيِّ مِنْ دِيَةِ زَوْجِهَا. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.

As already explained in the chapter on ‘blood-money,’ the wife shall be the inheritor of her husband’s blood-money. The term ‘Aqilah (i. e. members of a clan from the father’s side responsible for the payment of blood-money on behalf of the murderer) has also been explained in some detail there.
