I have witnessed two caliphates before you, they allot him half with one brother and a third with two. If there are many siblings, the third is not diminished from him. He said, and I, Malik, have heard that Sulayman ibn Yasar said, Umar ibn al-Khattab, Uthman ibn Affan, and Zaid ibn Thabit obliged the third to the paternal grandfather with the siblings."
وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ وَذَلِكَ مَا لَمْ يَكُنْ يَقْضِي فِيهِ إِلَّا الْأُمَرَاءُ يَعْنِي الْخُلَفَاءَ وَقَدْ حَضَرْتُ الْخَلِيفَتَيْنِ قَبْلَكَ يُعْطِيَانِهِ النِّصْفَ مَعَ الْأَخِ الْوَاحِدِ وَالثُّلُثَ مَعَ الِاثْنَيْنِ فَإِنْ كَثُرَ الْإِخْوَةُ لَمْ يُنْقِصَاهُ مِنَ الثُّلُثِ 12434 قَالَ وَأنا مَالِكٌ أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ أَنَّهُ قَالَ فَرَضَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ وَعُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَفَّانَ وَزَيْدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ ؓ لِلْجَدِّ الثُّلُثَ مَعَ الْإِخْوَةِ
