A grandmother came to AbuBakr asking him for her share of inheritance. He said: There is nothing prescribed for you in Allah's Book, nor do I know anything for you in the Sunnah of the Prophet of Allah ﷺ Go home till I question the people. He then questioned the people, and al-Mughirah ibn Shu'bah said: I had been present with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when he gave grandmother a sixth. AbuBakr said: Is there anyone with you? Muhammad ibn Maslamah stood and said the same as al-Mughirah ibn Shu'bah had said. So AbuBakr made it apply to her. Another grandmother came to Umar ibn al-Khattab asking him for her share of inheritance. He said: Nothing has been prescribed for you in Allah's Book. The decision made before you was made for a grandmother other than you. I am not going to add in the shares of inheritance; but it is that sixth. If there are two of you, it is shared between you, but whichever of you is the only one left gets it all.

"A grandmother came to Abu Bakr to ask him about her inheritance. He said to her, 'There is noting for you in the Book of Allah and there is nothing for you in the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. So ,return until I ask the people. So he asked the people and Al-Mughirah bin Shu'bah said: 'I was present when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave her (case) a sixth.' So he said: 'Was anyone else with you?' Muhammad bin Maslamah stood to say the same as what Al-Mughirah bin Shu'bah said. So Abu Bakr implemented that for her." Then the other grandmother came to 'Umar bin Al-Khattab to ask him about her inheritance. He said: 'There is nothing in the Book of Allah for you, but there is that sixth. So if the two of you are together then it is for both of you, and whichever of you remains), then it is for her.'"

Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Uthman ibn Ishaq ibn Kharasha that Qabisa ibn Dhu'ayb said, "A grandmother came to Abu Bakr as-Siddiq and asked him for her inheritance. Abu Bakr said to her, 'You have nothing in the Book of Allah, and I do not know that you have anything in the sunna of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Go away therefore, until I have questioned the people.' (i.e.the Companions). He questioned the people, and al-Mughira ibn Shuba said, 'I was present with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when he gave the grandmother a sixth.' Abu Bakr said, 'Was there anybody else with you?' Muhammad ibn Maslama al-Ansari stood up and said the like of what al-Mughira said. Abu Bakr as-Siddiq gave it to her. Then the other grandmother came to Umar ibn al-Khattab and asked him for her inheritance. He said to her, "You have nothing in the Book of Allah, and what has been decided is only for other than you, and I am not one to add to the fixed shares, other than that sixth. If there are two of you together, it is between you. If eitherof you is left alone with it, it is hers."

[Machine] The grandmother came to Abu Bakr to ask him about her inheritance. He said, "I do not know anything for you in the Book of Allah, and I do not know anything for you in the practice of the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , until I ask the people." So he asked, and Al-Mughira ibn Shu'ba said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , allocate to her one sixth." He said, "Who will testify with you? Or who knows with you?" So Muhammad ibn Muslimah stood up and said something similar, so he executed it for her. And Isaac ibn Isa said, "Do you have anyone other than yourself?"

[Machine] "Abu Bakr, I do not find anything for you in the Book of Allah, and I have not heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ruling in your favor. I will ask the people tonight. When he finished performing the Dhuhr prayer, he approached the people and said, 'Indeed, the grandmother came to me, asking about her inheritance from her grandson or granddaughter. I have not found anything for her in the Book, and I have not heard the Prophet ﷺ ruling in her favor. Has anyone among you heard anything from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ regarding this matter?' Al-Mughira bin Shu'ba stood up and said, 'I witnessed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ruling in her favor with one-sixth.' Abu Bakr then asked, 'Does anyone have the same testimony?' Muhammad bin Muslima stood up and said, 'I witnessed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ruling in her favor with one-sixth.' Abu Bakr gave her one-sixth. When Umar assumed the caliphate, the grandmother who had a dispute with him came to him. Umar said, 'The ruling was only in your favor when you were apart. But when you both agreed, one-sixth is between you, and whichever one of you gives up the claim, it belongs to her.'"

[Machine] Al-Qa'nabi reported from Malik that Abu Yazid al-Qaratisi reported from Abdullah bin Abdul-Hakam who reported from Bakr bin Sahl who reported from Abdullah bin Yusuf who reported from Yusuf al-Qadi who reported from Amr bin Marzouq who said: "I am Malik, from Ibn Shihab, from Uthman bin Ishaq bin Kharsha who reported that Qubaysah bin Dhu'ayb said: 'My grandmother came to Abu Bakr As-Siddiq asking about her inheritance according to the Book of Allah. Abu Bakr said to her: 'You have nothing in the Book of Allah, and I do not know of anything for you in the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , so go back until I ask the people.' So he asked the people and Al-Mughirah bin Shu'bah said: 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave her one-sixth.' Abu Bakr said: 'Do you have anyone else?' Muhammad bin Muslimah Al-Ansari stood and said the same thing as Al-Mughirah. So Abu Bakr approved that for her. Then another grandmother came to Umar bin Al-Khattab asking about her inheritance. He said: 'You have nothing in the Book of Allah and the judgment that has been decreed is not for other than you. And I will not increase anything in the shares, but it is that one-sixth. So if you both agree, it is between you two, and whoever is absent, it belongs to her.' And the wording is according to the narration of Ibn Abdul-Hakam.

[Machine] "What do you have in the Book of Allah, and what do I know for you in the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ? So, return until I ask the people." So, he asked the people, and Al-Mughirah bin Shu'bah said, 'I attended the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when he gave her one-sixth.' Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) asked, 'Do you have anyone else with you?' So, Muhammad bin Maslamah stood up and said, 'As Al-Mughirah said.' So, Abu Bakr fulfilled her request."

A grandmother came to AbuBakr asking him for her share of inheritance. He said: There is nothing prescribed for you in Allah's Book, nor do I know anything for you in the Sunnah of the Prophet of Allah ﷺ Go home till I question the people. He then questioned the people, and al-Mughirah ibn Shu'bah said: I had been present with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when he gave grandmother a sixth. AbuBakr said: Is there anyone with you? Muhammad ibn Maslamah stood and said the same as al-Mughirah ibn Shu'bah had said. So AbuBakr made it apply to her. Another grandmother came to Umar ibn al-Khattab asking him for her share of inheritance. He said: Nothing has been prescribed for you in Allah's Book. The decision made before you was made for a grandmother other than you. I am not going to add in the shares of inheritance; but it is that sixth. If there are two of you, it is shared between you, but whichever of you is the only one left gets it all. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2894)
