Wills and Testaments
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ حَزْمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ عَمْرَو بْنَ سُلَيْمٍ الزُّرَقِيَّ، أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ، قِيلَ لِعُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ إِنَّ هَا هُنَا غُلاَمًا يَفَاعًا لَمْ يَحْتَلِمْ مِنْ غَسَّانَ وَوَارِثُهُ بِالشَّامِ وَهُوَ ذُو مَالٍ وَلَيْسَ لَهُ هَا هُنَا إِلاَّ ابْنَةُ عَمٍّ لَهُ . قَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ فَلْيُوصِ لَهَا . قَالَ فَأَوْصَى لَهَا بِمَالٍ يُقَالُ لَهُ بِئْرُ جُشَمٍ قَالَ عَمْرُو بْنُ سُلَيْمٍ فَبِيعَ ذَلِكَ الْمَالُ بِثَلاَثِينَ أَلْفَ دِرْهَمٍ وَابْنَةُ عَمِّهِ الَّتِي أَوْصَى لَهَا هِيَ أُمُّ عَمْرِو بْنِ سُلَيْمٍ الزُّرَقِيِّ .
Malik related to me from Abdullah ibn Abi Bakr ibn Hazm that Amr
ibn Sulaym az-Zuraqi informed his father that it had been said to Umar
ibn al-Khattab, "There is here an adolescent boy who has not yet
reached puberty. He is from the Ghassan tribe and his heir is in ash-
Sham. He has property. Here he only has the daughter of one of his
paternal uncles." Umar ibn al-Khattab instructed, "Let him leave her a
bequest." He willed her a property called the well of Jusham.
Malik added, "That property was sold for 30,000 dirhams, and the
daughter of the paternal uncle to whom he willed it was the mother of
Amr ibn Sulaym az-Zuraqi."
