Hadith #44810
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَيَّاشٍ، عَنْ حَكِيمِ بْنِ حَكِيمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ بْنِ سَهْلٍ، قَالَ كَتَبَ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ إِلَى أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ بْنِ الْجَرَّاحِ أَنْ عَلِّمُوا غِلْمَانَكُمْ الْعَوْمَ وَمُقَاتِلَتَكُمْ الرَّمْيَ فَكَانُوا يَخْتَلِفُونَ إِلَى الْأَغْرَاضِ فَجَاءَ سَهْمٌ غَرْبٌ إِلَى غُلَامٍ فَقَتَلَهُ فَلَمْ يُوجَدْ لَهُ أَصْلٌ وَكَانَ فِي حَجْرِ خَالٍ لَهُ فَكَتَبَ فِيهِ أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ إِلَى عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ إِلَى مَنْ أَدْفَعُ عَقْلَهُ فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَقُولُ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ مَوْلَى مَنْ لَا مَوْلَى لَهُ وَالْخَالُ وَارِثُ مَنْ لَا وَارِثَ لَهُ.
Yahya bin Adam told us, Sufyan told us, on the authority of Abdul Rahman bin Ayyash, on the authority of Hakim bin Hakim, on the authority of Abu Umamah bin Sahl, he said Omar, may God be pleased with him, wrote to Abu Ubaidah ibn al-Jarrah, saying, “Teach your young men to swim and to fight you, to shoot.” They used to disagree until objects, then a strange arrow struck a boy and killed him, but no root was found for him, and it was in a stone that was empty of his, so Abu Ubaidah wrote about it to Omar, satisfied May God bless him and grant him peace. Omar, may God be pleased with him, wrote to him that the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, used to say God and His Messenger are the masters of those who have no masters, and the maternal uncle is the heir of those who have no heirs.
