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."

A man came to Abu Musa al-Ash'ari and Salman b. Rabi'ah, and asked about a case where there were a daughter, a son's daughter and full sister. They replied: The daughter gets half and the full gets half. The son's daughter gets nothing. Go to Ibn Mas'ud and you will find that he agrees with me. So the man came to him and informed him about their opinion. He said: I would then be in error and not be one of those who are rightly guided. But I decide concerning the matter as the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did: The daughter gets half, and the son's daughter gets a share which complete thirds (i.e. gets a sixth), and what remain to the full sister."

[Machine] "For the daughter, it is half, and for the sister, it is half. Come to Abdullah and he will follow me. So Abdullah came and mentioned that to him. He said, 'I found in the book that I have gone astray, and I am not one of the guided ones. I will judge in it according to what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ has decreed: for the daughter, it is half, for the daughter of the son, it is one-sixth, and what remains is for the sister.' So he came to Abu Musa and mentioned that to him. He said, 'Do not ask me about anything as long as this ink is between your faces.'"

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."
