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.”

Commentary
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.
