Chapter 11 | The Legacy is Just for the Eldest Son

4- عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ رِبْعِيِّ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ إِذَا مَاتَ الرَّجُلُ فَسَيْفُهُ وَخَاتَمُهُ وَمُصْحَفُهُ وَكُتُبُهُ وَرَحْلُهُ وَرَاحِلَتُهُ وَكِسْوَتُهُ لأكْبَرِ وُلْدِهِ فَإِنْ كَانَ الأكْبَرُ ابْنَةً فَلِلأكْبَرِ مِنَ الذُّكُورِ.

4. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Khalid from his father from Hammad ibn ‘Isa from ‘Rib‘iy ibn ‘Abd Allah who has narrated the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, Alayhi al-Salam, has said, ‘When a man dies, his sword, ring, holy book, his books, his personal belongings, his stumper and clothes belong to his eldest son and if the eldest among his children is a girl then such items belong to the next eldest son.’”
