Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said that Muhammad ibn Yahya ibn Habban said, "My grandfather Habban had two wives, one from the Hashimites and one from the Ansars. He divorced the Ansariyya while she was nursing, and a year passed and he died and she had still not yet menstruated. She said, 'I inherit from him. I have not menstruated yet.' The wives quarrelled and went to Uthman ibn Affan. He decided that she did inherit, and the Hashimiyya rebuked Uthman. He said, 'This is the practice of the son of your paternal uncle. He pointed this out to us.' He meant Ali ibn Abi Talib."  

قَالَ كَانَتْ عِنْدَ جَدِّي حَبَّانَ امْرَأَتَانِ هَاشِمِيَّةٌ وَأَنْصَارِيَّةٌ فَطَلَّقَ الأَنْصَارِيَّةَ وَهِيَ تُرْضِعُ فَمَرَّتْ بِهَا سَنَةٌ ثُمَّ هَلَكَ عَنْهَا وَلَمْ تَحِضْ فَقَالَتْ أَنَا أَرِثُهُ لَمْ أَحِضْ فَاخْتَصَمَتَا إِلَى عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَفَّانَ فَقَضَى لَهَا بِالْمِيرَاثِ فَلاَمَتِ الْهَاشِمِيَّةُ عُثْمَانَ فَقَالَ هَذَا عَمَلُ ابْنِ عَمِّكِ هُوَ أَشَارَ عَلَيْنَا بِهَذَا يَعْنِي عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ  

[Machine] He said that there were two wives of his grandfather, one from the Hashemite tribe and one from the Ansari tribe. He divorced the Ansari wife while she was breastfeeding. She went through one year without menstruating and then died without experiencing it. She said, "I am entitled to inherit from him because I did not menstruate." So they went to Uthman to settle the matter, and Uthman ruled in her favor regarding inheritance. This angered the Hashemite wife, so Uthman said to her, "Your cousin, Ali, indicated to us about this."  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ كَانَتْ عِنْدَ جَدِّهِ حَبَّانَ امْرَأَتَانِ لَهُ هَاشِمِيَّةٌ وَأَنْصَارِيَّةٌ فَطَلَّقَ الْأَنْصَارِيَّةَ وَهِيَ تُرْضِعُ فَمَرَّتْ بِهَا سَنَةٌ ثُمَّ هَلَكَ عَنْهَا وَلَمْ تَحِضْ فَقَالَتْ أَنَا أَرِثُهُ لَمْ أَحِضْ فَاخْتَصَمَا إِلَى عُثْمَانَ ؓ فَقَضَى لَهَا عُثْمَانُ ؓ بِالْمِيرَاثِ فَلَامَتِ الْهَاشِمِيَّةُ عُثْمَانَ ؓ فَقَالَ عُثْمَانُ ؓ ابْنُ عَمِّكِ هُوَ أَشَارَ إِلَيْنَا بِهَذَا يَعْنِي عَلِيًّا ؓ
