34. Inheritance
٣٤۔ كِتَابُ الْفَرَائِضِ
[Machine] He (the narrator) said, "Al-Hajjaj came with him (the prisoner) in chains. When he arrived at the gate of the palace, he said, 'Yazid ibn Abi Muslim wants to see me.' Yazid said, 'As for the knowledge that is between us, there is no day of intercession that can save the prince from association and hypocrisy against himself. It is better for you to escape.' Then I met Muhammad ibn al-Hajjaj and he said to me something similar to what Yazid had said. When I entered upon al-Hajjaj, he said to me, 'And you, my people, are among those who opposed us and increased. I said, 'May Allah set right the prince. The house has become sad, the path has become narrow, we have stayed awake, fear has engulfed us, and we have fallen into disgrace without any righteous piety or strong argument.' He said, 'You speak the truth. By Allah, they did not bring their opposition against us, nor were they able to oppose us when they did.' Then he asked me about a case in Fara'id (inheritance). So I went to him and he said, 'What do you say about a mother, a sister, and a paternal aunt?' I said, 'There were five different opinions among the companions of the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ : Abdullah ibn Abbas, Zaid, Uthman, Ali, and Abdullah ibn Mas'ood. Ibn Abbas did not have an opinion if he was not a muqin, and in the narration of al-Ruqayyiq, if he was not a munqib. I said, 'The grandfather is the main inheritor and the sister receives two shares.' He said, 'And what did Zaid say about it?' I said, 'He considered it as nine shares: the mother receives three, the grandfather receives four, and the sister receives two.' He said, 'And what did the Commander of the Believers (Uthman) say about it?' I said, 'He considered it as three shares.' He said, 'And what did Abdullah ibn Mas'ood say about it?' I said, 'He considered it as six shares: the sister receives three, the grandfather receives two, and the mother receives one.' He said, 'And what did Abu Turab (Ali) say about it?' I said, 'He considered it as six shares: the sister receives three, the grandfather receives one, and the mother receives one.' He mentioned the hadith in its entirety, which was 12450. Abu Abdullah al-Hafiz told us, I am Abu Ishaq Ibrahim ibn Muhammad ibn Yahya, Abu al-Abbas Muhammad ibn Ishaq al-Thaqafi informed me, Muhammad ibn Abbad ibn Musa al-Ukaili informed me, my father Abbad ibn Musa informed me, who said that Abu Bakr al-Hudhali told me, Sha'bi told me and mentioned this hadith, which was 12451. Ahmad ibn Ali al-Hafiz told us, I am Ibrahim ibn Abdullah, I am Ismail ibn Ibrahim, Hassan ibn Isa narrated to me from Maghira, from the companions of Ibrahim and Sha'bi, who said: a mother, a sister, a paternal aunt, and a paternal aunt are siblings of a father and a mother and a grandfather. He mentioned their opinions in the manner in which Sha'bi mentioned them alone.

[Machine] Umar said: "For the sister, half remains, for the mother, a third of what remains, and for the grandfather, whatever remains."
قَالَ عُمَرُ ؓ فِي أُمٍّ وَأُخْتٍ وَجَدٍّ لِلْأُخْتِ النِّصْفُ وَلِلْأُمِّ ثُلُثُ مَا بَقِيَ وَلِلْجَدِّ مَا بَقِيَ
[Machine] Omar and Abdullah do not prefer a mother over a grandfather.
عُمَرُ وَعَبْدُ اللهِ ؓ لَا يُفَضِّلَانِ أُمًّا عَلَى جَدٍّ
