[Machine] "A man named Shurayh came and said: A woman left behind her two cousins, one of them her husband and the other her brother from her mother. He gave the husband half [of the wealth] and gave the brother from the mother what remained. Ali received this information and sent for Shurayh. He asked him, 'What did you decide?' Shurayh replied, 'I gave the husband half [of the wealth] and the brother from the mother what remained.' Ali then asked, 'Did you base your decision on the Book of Allah or the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ?' Shurayh replied, 'Rather, I based it on the Book of Allah.' Ali asked, 'Where?' Shurayh said, 'In the verse, "And those with relationships are entitled to inherit from one another in the decree of Allah" [Quran 33:6].' Ali then asked, 'Did it say to give the husband half and give the brother from the mother what remained?' Then Ali gave the husband half and the brother from the mother one-sixth, and divided what remained between them. Shu'bah also narrated this from Aws al-Ansari."
