[Machine] If the grandmother is from the mother's side, then she inherits from the grandmother from the mother's side, she takes one-sixth. But if the grandmother is from the father's side, then she inherits from the grandmother from the father's side, the sixth is assigned between them. Yaḥyā bin Yaḥyā and Waki' narrated from Fiṭr, from a sheikh from the people of Al-Madīnah, from Khārija bin Zaid, from Zaid bin Thābit, that he used to say that.  

البيهقي:١٢٣٦٦أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدِ بْنُ أَبِي عَمْرٍو أنا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى أنا وَكِيعٌ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ عَنْ خَارِجَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ قَالَ

إِذَا كَانَتِ الْجَدَّةُ مِنْ قِبَلِ الْأُمِّ أَقْعَدَ مِنَ الْجَدَّةِ مِنْ قِبَلِ الْأَبِ كَانَ لَهَا السُّدُسُ وَإِذَا كَانَتِ الْجَدَّةُ مِنْ قِبَلِ الْأُمِّ هِيَ أَقْعَدَ مِنَ الْجَدَّةِ مِنَ الْأَبِ جُعِلَ السُّدُسُ بَيْنَهُمَا قَالَ وَأنا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى أنا وَكِيعٌ عَنْ فِطْرٍ عَنْ شَيْخٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ عَنْ خَارِجَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ ذَلِكَ

[Machine] He would say, "If the grandmother is on the mother's side, I sit closer to the grandmother on the father's side, as she is more entitled to a sixth. And if the grandmother is on the father's side, I sit and divide equally between her and the grandmother on the mother's side." Then it was asked, "How did the grandmother from the mother's side reach this position?" He said, "Because grandmothers are only given a sixth of what the mother is given."
