حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو هَانِئٍ ، قَالَ : سُئِلَ عَامِرٌ عَنْ امْرَأَةٍ أَوْ رَجُلٍ، تُوُفِّيَ وَتَرَكَ خَالَةً وَعَمَّةً، قَالَ : " لَيْسَ لَهُ وَارِثٌ وَلَا رَحِمٌ غَيْرُهُمَا "، فَقَالَ : كَانَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ يُنَزِّلُ الْخَالَةَ بِمَنْزِلَةِ أُمِّهِ، وَيُنَزِّلُ الْعَمَّةَ بِمَنْزِلَةِ أَخِيهَا

Abu Nu`aym told us, Abu Hani told us, he said: Amer was asked about a woman or a man who died and left behind a paternal aunt and paternal aunt. He said: “He has no Heir and no relatives other than them.” He said: Abdullah bin Masoud used to treat the maternal aunt in the same position as his mother, and he would treat the paternal aunt in the same position as her brother.
