وَعَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ - رَضِيَ اَللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا- قَالَ : قَالَ اَلنَّبِيُّ - صلى الله عليه وسلم -{ اَلْوَلَاءُ لُحْمَةٌ كَلُحْمَةِ اَلنَّسَبِ , لَا يُبَاعُ , وَلَا يُوهَبُ } رَوَاهُ اَلْحَاكِمُ : مِنْ طَرِيقِ اَلشَّافِعِيِّ , عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ اَلْحَسَنِ , عَنْ أَبِي يُوسُفَ ، وَصَحَّحَهُ اِبْنُ حِبَّانَ , وَأَعَلَّهُ اَلْبَيْهَقِيُّ [1] .
Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar (RA): Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: "The right to inheritance from a freed slave is a relationship like the relationship of blood relatives (lineage); it cannot be sold or given away." [al-Hakim reported it through ash-Shafi'i's narration from Muhammad bin al-Hasan on the authority of Abu Yusuf. Ibn Hibban graded it Sahih (authentic), while al-Baihaqi graded it defective].
