A man came to Abu Musa al-Ash'ari and Salman b. Rabi'ah, and asked about a case where there were a daughter, a son's daughter and full sister. They replied: The daughter gets half and the full gets half. The son's daughter gets nothing. Go to Ibn Mas'ud and you will find that he agrees with me. So the man came to him and informed him about their opinion. He said: I would then be in error and not be one of those who are rightly guided. But I decide concerning the matter as the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did: The daughter gets half, and the son's daughter gets a share which complete thirds (i.e. gets a sixth), and what remain to the full sister."

Abu Musa was asked regarding (the inheritance of) a daughter, a son's daughter, and a sister. He said, "The daughter will take one-half and the sister will take one-half. If you go to Ibn Masʿud, he will tell you the same." Ibn Masʿud was asked and was told of Abu Musa's verdict. Ibn Masʿud then said, "If I give the same verdict, I would stray and would not be of the rightly-guided. The verdict I will give in this case, will be the same as the Prophet ﷺ did, i.e. one-half is for daughter, and one-sixth for the son's daughter, i.e. both shares make two-thirds of the total property; and the rest is for the sister." Afterwards we cams to Abu Musa and informed him of Ibn Masʿud's verdict, whereupon he said, "So, do not ask me for verdicts, as long as this learned man is among you."

Abu Musa was asked regarding (the inheritance of) a daughter, a son's daughter, and a sister. He said, "The daughter will take one-half and the sister will take one-half. If you go to Ibn Masʿud, he will tell you the same." Ibn Masʿud was asked and was told of Abu Musa's verdict. Ibn Masʿud then said, "If I give the same verdict, I would stray and would not be of the rightly-guided. The verdict I will give in this case, will be the same as the Prophet ﷺ did, i.e. one-half is for daughter, and one-sixth for the son's daughter, i.e. both shares make two-thirds of the total property; and the rest is for the sister." Afterwards we cams to Abu Musa and informed him of Ibn Masʿud's verdict, whereupon he said, "So, do not ask me for verdicts, as long as this learned man is among you." (Using translation from Bukhārī 6736)   

الكبرى للنسائي:٦٢٩٦أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ بُنْدَارٌ عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ يَعْنِي غُنْدَرًا قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ أَبِي قَيْسٍ عَنْ هُزَيْلِ بْنِ شُرَحْبِيلَ قَالَ سَأَلَ رَجُلٌ أَبَا مُوسَى عَنِ امْرَأَةٍ تَرَكَتِ ابْنَتَهَا وَابْنَةَ ابْنِهَا وَأُخْتَهَا فَقَالَ لِلِابْنَةِ النِّصْفُ وَلِلْأُخْتِ النِّصْفُ وَائْتِ ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ فَإِنَّهُ سَيُتَابِعُنِي فَأَتَوُا ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ فَأَخْبَرُوهُ بِقَوْلِ أَبِي مُوسَى فَقَالَ

قَدْ ضَلَلْتُ إِذًا وَمَا أَنَا مِنَ الْمُهْتَدِينَ لَأَقْضِيَنَّ فِيهَا بِقَضَاءِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ لِلِابْنَةِ النِّصْفُ وَلِابْنَةِ الِابْنِ السُّدُسُ وَمَا بَقِيَ فَلِلْأُخْتِ فَأَتَوْا أَبَا مُوسَى فَأَخْبَرُوهُ فَقَالَ لَا تَسْأَلُونِي وَهَذَا الْحَبْرُ بَيْنَ أَظْهُرِكُمْ
