Hadith text
Narrated `Abdullah bin Abi Mulaika:The people of Kufa sent a letter to Ibn Az-Zubair, asking about (the inheritance of) (paternal) grandfather. He replied that the right of the inheritance of (paternal) grandfather is the same as that of father if the father is dead) and added, "Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, ' If I were to take a Khalil from this nation, I would have taken him (i.e. Abu Bakr)
Abdullah bin Abi Mulaika bataate hain: Kufa ke logon ne Ibn Az-Zubair ko ek khat bheja, daade ke (waraasat ke) baare mein puchte hue. Unhone jawab diya ke daade ki waraasat ka haqq waisa hi hai jaisa baap ka (agar baap ka intiqal ho chuka ho) aur joda, "Allah ke Rasool ne kaha, 'Agar main is ummat mein se ek Khalil banata, main unhe (yaani Abu Bakr ko) banata.'"
