[Machine] Abdullah came concerning the obligation of the half-brothers from the mother's side. He said that all the property belongs to his brother, his mother's son, so he distributed it to him according to the share of a full brother from the father's side and the mother's side. When Ali arrived, I asked him about it and informed him of Abdullah's statement. He said, "May Allah have mercy on him. If he was a jurist, then perhaps I would have increased his share beyond what Allah had prescribed for him, which is one-sixth. Then he would have divided it among them like a man from among them."  

أُتِيَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ فِي فَرِيضَةِ بَنِي عَمٍّ أَحَدُهُمْ أَخٌ لِأُمٍّ فَقَالَ الْمَالُ أَجْمَعُ لِأَخِيهِ لِأُمِّهِ فَأَنْزَلَهُ بِحِسَابِ أَوْ بِمَنْزِلَةِ الْأَخِ مِنَ الْأَبِ وَالْأُمِّ فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ عَلِيٌّ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْهَا وَأَخْبَرْتُهُ بِقَوْلِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ يَرْحَمُهُ اللَّهُ إِنْ كَانَ لَفَقِيهًا أَمَّا أَنَا فَلَمْ أَكُنْ لِأَزِيدَهُ عَلَى مَا فَرَضَ اللَّهُ لَهُ سَهْمٌ السُّدُسُ ثُمَّ يُقَاسِمُهُمْ كَرَجُلٍ مِنْهُمْ
