[Machine] Abu Bakr's grandmother, the mother of his father or the mother of his mother, came to him and said, "My son's son or my daughter's son has passed away and I was informed that I have a share. What is it for me?" Abu Bakr replied, "I did not hear the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying anything about this, but I will ask the people." After performing the Dhuhr prayer, Abu Bakr asked, "Which one of you heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying something about the grandmother?" Al-Mughirah bin Shu'bah replied, "I heard him saying, 'He gave her one-sixth.'" Abu Bakr asked, "Does anyone else know this except you?" Muhammad bin Muslimah said, "Yes, he is truthful." So Abu Bakr gave her one-sixth. Then another woman with a similar case came to Umar and said, "I do not know what I have heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about this, but I will ask the people." They informed her with the narration of Al-Mughirah bin Shu'bah and Muhammad bin Muslimah. Umar said, "If any one of you had a share by herself, she should have one-sixth, but if both of you share together, then it is between you."
جَاءَتْ إِلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ جَدَّةٌ أُمُّ أَبٍ أَوْ أُمُّ أُمٍّ فَقَالَتْ إِنَّ ابْنَ ابْنِي أَوِ ابْنَ ابْنَتِي تُوُفِّيَ وَبَلَغَنِي أَنَّ لِي نَصِيبًا فَمَا لِي؟ فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ مَا سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ فِيهَا شَيْئًا وَسَأَسْأَلُ النَّاسَ فَلَمَّا صَلَّى الظُّهْرَ فقَالَ أَيُّكُمْ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ فِي الْجَدَّةِ شَيْئًا؟ فَقَالَ الْمُغِيرَةُ بْنُ شُعْبَةَ أَنَا قَالَ مَاذَا؟ قَالَ «أَعْطَاهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ سُدُسًا» قَالَ أَيَعْلَمُ ذَاكَ أَحَدٌ غَيْرُكَ؟ فَقَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ صَدَقَ فَأَعْطَاهَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ السُّدُسَ فَجَاءَتْ إِلَى عُمَرَ مِثْلُهَا فَقَالَ مَا أَدْرِي مَا سَمِعْتُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِيهَا شَيْئًا وَسَأَسْأَلُ النَّاسَ فَحَدَّثُوهُ بِحَدِيثِ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ شُعْبَةَ وَمُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مَسْلَمَةَ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ «أَيُّكُمَا خَلَتْ بِهِ فَلَهَا السُّدُسُ فَإِنِ اجْتَمَعْتُمَا فَهُوَ بَيْنَكُمَا»
