[Machine] Isaac narrated that Abdur-Razzaq narrated from Ma'mar who narrated from Az-Zuhri who narrated from Abu Salamah who said: Ibn Abbas reported that a man came and said, "A man died, leaving behind his daughter, sister, father, and mother. He said, 'The daughter should receive half and the sister should receive nothing.'" The man said, "But Umar ruled otherwise and gave half to the daughter and half to the sister." Ibn Abbas said, "Do you know better than Allah?" I did not understand the reasoning behind this until I met Ibn Tawus and mentioned the narration of Az-Zuhri to him. He said, "My father informed me that he heard Ibn Abbas saying that Allah Almighty said, 'If a man dies leaving no child but has a sister, then she shall have half of what he left.' (Quran 4:176)" Ibn Abbas said, "Therefore, you should give her half even if he had children."  

ثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ أَنْبَأَ عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أَنْبَأَ مَعْمَرٌ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ قَالَ جَاءَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ تُوُفِّيَ وَتَرَكَ بِنْتَهُ وَأُخْتَهُ لِأَبِيهِ وَأُمِّهِ فَقَالَ «لِابْنَتِهِ النِّصْفُ وَلَيْسَ لِأُخْتِهِ شَيْءٌ» قَالَ الرَّجُلُ فَإِنَّ عُمَرَ قَضَى بِغَيْرِ ذَلِكَ جَعَلَ لِلِابْنَةِ النِّصْفَ وَلِلْأُخْتِ النِّصْفَ قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ «أَنْتُمْ أَعْلَمُ أَمِ اللَّهُ؟» فَلَمْ أَدْرِ مَا وَجْهُ هَذَا حَتَّى لَقِيتُ ابْنَ طَاوُسٍ فَذَكَرْتُ لَهُ حَدِيثَ الزُّهْرِيِّ فَقَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ يَقُولُ قَالَ اللَّهُ ﷻ {إِنِ امْرُؤٌ هَلَكَ لَيْسَ لَهُ وَلَدٌ وَلَهُ أُخْتٌ فَلَهَا نِصْفُ مَا تَرَكَ} [النساء 176] قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ «فَقُلْتُمْ أَنْتُمْ لَهَا النِّصْفُ وَإِنْ كَانَ لَهُ وَلَدٌ»  

[Machine] A man died and left behind a daughter and a sister from his father and mother. He said to his daughter, "Half is for you and there is nothing for the sister, whatever is left will be for his cousins." A man said to him, "Indeed, Umar ibn Al-Khattab ruled otherwise, and he gave half to the daughter and half to the sister." Ibn Abbas said, "Are you more knowledgeable or Allah?" Ma'mar said, "I did not know the reason for that until I met Ibn Tawus, and I mentioned to him the narration of Az-Zuhri. He said, 'My father informed me that he heard Ibn Abbas saying that Allah Almighty said, "If a man dies and has no child but has a sister, then she shall have half of what he left."' Ibn Abbas said, 'So you said that she will have half, even if he had children.'"  

رَجُلٌ تُوُفِّيَ وَتَرَكَ ابْنَةً وَأُخْتًا لِأَبِيهِ وَأُمِّهِ فَقَالَ لِلِابْنَةِ النِّصْفُ وَلَيْسَ لِلْأُخْتِ شَيْءٌ مَا بَقِيَ فَهُوَ لِعَصَبَتِهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ فَإِنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ قَدْ قَضَى بِغَيْرِ ذَلِكَ جَعَلَ لِلِابْنَةِ النِّصْفَ وَلِلْأُخْتِ النِّصْفَ فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ أَنْتُمْ أَعْلَمُ أَمِ اللَّهُ؟ قَالَ مَعْمَرٌ فَلَمْ أَدْرِ مَا وَجْهُ ذَلِكَ حَتَّى لَقِيتُ ابْنَ طَاوُسٍ فَذَكَرْتُ لَهُ حَدِيثَ الزُّهْرِيِّ فَقَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ يَقُولُ قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى {إِنِ امْرُؤٌ هَلَكَ لَيْسَ لَهُ وَلَدٌ وَلَهُ أُخْتٌ فَلَهَا نِصْفُ مَا تَرَكَ} [النساء 176] قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ فَقُلْتُمْ أَنْتُمْ لَهَا النِّصْفُ وَإِنْ كَانَ لَهُ وَلَدٌ  

"عَنْ أَبى سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبد الرَّحْمنِ قَالَ: جَاءَ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ: رَجُل تُوُفِّىَ وَتَرَكَ بِنْتَهُ وَأُخْتَهُ لأبِيه وَأُمِّه، فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاس: لابْنَتِهِ النِّصْفُ، وَلَيْسَ لأُخْتِهِ شَىْء، فَمَا بَقِىَ فَهُوَ لِعَصَبَتِهِ، فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ: إِنَّ عُمَرَ قَضَى بغَيْر ذلِكَ، فَقَدْ جَعَلَ للأُخْت النِّصْفَ، ولِلبِنْتِ النِّصْفَ، فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاس: أَأَنْتُمْ أَعْلَمُ أَمِ الله؟ قَالَ طَاووسٌ: قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ: قَالَ الله: {إِنِ امْرُؤٌ هَلَكَ لَيْسَ لَهُ وَلَدٌ وَلَهُ أُخْتٌ فَلَهَا نِصْفُ مَا تَرَكَ} (*)، فَقُلتُمْ أنْتُمْ لَهَا النِّصْفُ وَإنْ كَانَ لَهُ وَلَدٌ".
