Hadith #548
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُهُ مِنَ الزّ
ُهْرِيِّ عَنْ سَعِيدٍ أَنَّ عُمَرَ قَالَ الدِّيَةُ لِلْعَاقِلَةِ وَلَا تَرِثُ الْمَرْأَةُ مِنْ دِيَةِ زَوْجِهَا حَتَّى أَخْبَرَهُ الضَّحَّاكُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ الْكِلَابِيُّ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَتَبَ إِلَيَّ أَنْ أُوَرِّثَ امْرَأَةَ أَشْيَمَ الضَّبَابِيِّ مِنْ دِيَةِ زَوْجِهَا فَرَجَعَ عُمَرُ عَنْ قَوْلِهِ

سفيان
English Translation
Sufyān narrated to us, saying: I heard it from al-Zuhrī, from Saʿīd, that ʿUmar said: 'The blood money belongs to the ʿāqilah (male relatives who pay it), and the wife does not inherit from the blood money of her husband.' Until al-Ḍaḥḥāk ibn Sufyān al-Kilābī (رضي الله عنه) informed him that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ wrote to him that he should give the wife of Ashyam al-Ḍibābī a share from his blood money. So ʿUmar retracted.
