[Machine] "For the daughter, half. And for the sister, half. And nothing is allocated for the daughter of the son. They asked Ibn Mas'ood, and he said, 'Ask Ibn Mas'ood, for he follows me.' So they asked Ibn Mas'ood and he informed them of the statement of Ash'ari, and he said, 'I have indeed gone astray, and I am not among the guided. I judge among you by the decree of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , who said, 'For the daughter, half. And for the daughter of the son, one-sixth. And for the sister, one-third.' The news reached Ash'ari and he said, 'Do not ask me about anything as long as this ink is among you.'"  

لِلِابْنَةِ النِّصْفُ وَلِلْأُخْتِ النِّصْفُ وَلَمْ يَجْعَلْ لِابْنَةِ الِابْنِ شَيْئًا وَقَالَ سَلُوا ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ؛ فَإِنَّهُ يُتَابِعُنِي فَسَأَلُوا ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ وَأَخْبَرَهُ بِقَوْلِ الْأَشْعَرِيِّ فَقَالَ قَدْ ضَلَلْتُ إِذًا وَمَا أَنَا مِنَ الْمُهْتَدِينَ أَقْضِي بَيْنَكُمْ بِقَضَاءِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لِلِابْنَةِ النِّصْفُ وَلِابْنَةِ الِابْنِ السُّدُسُ وَلِلْأُخْتِ الثُّلُثُ» فَبَلَغَ الْأَشْعَرِيَّ فَقَالَ لَا تَسْأَلُونِي عَنْ شَيْءٍ مَا دَامَ هَذَا الْحَبْرُ بَيْنَ أَظْهُرِكُمْ  

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)   

لَقَدْ ضَلَلْتُ إِذًا وَمَا أَنَا مِنَ الْمُهْتَدِينَ أَقْضِي فِيهَا بِمَا قَضَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لِلِابْنَةِ النِّصْفُ وَلِابْنَةِ الِابْنِ السُّدُسُ تَكْمِلَةً لِلْثُلُثَيْنِ وَمَا بَقِيَ فَلِلْأُخْتِ قَالَ فَأَتَيْنَا أَبَا مُوسَى الْأَشْعَرِيَّ فَأَخْبَرْنَاهُ بِقَوْلِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ فَقَالَ لَا تَسْأَلُونِي عَنْ شَيْءٍ مَا دَامَ هَذَا الْحَبْرُ فِيكُمْ  

"عَنْ هُذَيْلِ بْن شُرَحْبِيل، قَالَ: جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى أَبى مُوسَى الأَشْعَرِىَّ، وَسَلْمَانَ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ الْبَاهِلِىِّ، فَسَأَلَهُمَا عَنْ رَجُلٍ تَرَكَ ابْنَتَهُ وَابْنَةَ ابْنِه وَأُخْتَهُ، فَقَالَا: لِلابْنَةِ النِّصْفُ ولِلأُخْتِ النِّصْفُ، وَلَيْسَ لاِبْنَةِ الاِبْنِ شَىْءٌ، وائتِ ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ فَإِنَّهُ سَيُتَابعُنا، فَجَاء الرَّجُلُ إِلَى عَبْد الله فَأَخْبَرَهُ بمَا قَالَا، قَالَ: قَدْ ضَللْتُ إِذَا وَمَا أَنَا مِنَ الْمُهْتَدَينَ، وَلَكِنِّى سَأَقْضى فِيهَا بِقَضَاءِ رَسُولِ الله ﷺ فَقَضَى رَسُولُ الله ﷺ فِى تَرْكِ ابْنَةٍ وَابْنَةِ ابنه وَأُخْتِهِ، فَجَعَلَ للابْنَةِ النَّصْفَ، وَلاِبْنَةِ الاِبْنِ السُّدُسَ، وَمَا بَقىَ لِلأُخْتِ".
