quran:4:7 –

For men is a share of what the parents and close relatives leave, and for women is a share of what the parents and close relatives leave, be it little or much - an obligatory share.  

The following was revealed as a repudiation of pre-Islamic practices in which women and children were not given any inheritance: To the men, young ones and kin, belongs a share, a portion, of what, deceased, parents and kinsmen leave, and to the women belongs a share of what parents and kinsmen leave, whether it, the property, be little or much. God has made it, an obligatory share, apportioned, to be given to them.
القرآن:٤:٧ –

لِلرِّجَالِ نَصِيبٌ مِمَّا تَرَكَ الْوَالِدَانِ وَالْأَقْرَبُونَ وَلِلنِّسَاءِ نَصِيبٌ مِمَّا تَرَكَ الْوَالِدَانِ وَالْأَقْرَبُونَ مِمَّا قَلَّ مِنْهُ أَوْ كَثُرَ ۚ نَصِيبًا مَفْرُوضًا  

ونزل ردا لما كان عليه في الجاهلية من عدم توريث النساء والصغار: {للرجال} الأولاد والأقرباء {نصيب} حظٌ {مما ترك الوالدان والأقربون} المتوفون {وللنساء نصيب مما ترك الوالدان والأقربون مما قلَّ منه} أي المال {أو كثر} جعله الله {نصيبا مفروضا} مقطوعا بتسليمه إليهم.
