tabarani:16035Isḥāq b. Ibrāhīm > Ibn Jurayj > ʿAṭāʾ

[Machine] Sa'd ibn 'Ubadah divided his wealth among his sons and then passed away while his wife was pregnant, and he did not know about her pregnancy. She gave birth to a boy. Umar and Abu Bakr sent for Qais ibn Sa'd ibn 'Ubadah regarding this matter. Qais said, "As for what Sa'd divided and executed, I will not reconsider it, but my share is for him." I asked, "Did he divide according to the Book of Allah?" He said, "We found that they would not divide except according to the Book of Allah."  

الطبراني:١٦٠٣٥حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ أَخْبَرَنِي عَطَاءٌ

أَنَّ سَعْدَ بْنَ عُبَادَةَ §قَسَّمَ مَالَهُ بَيْنَ بَنِيهِ ثُمَّ تُوُفِّيَ وَامْرَأَتُهُ حُبْلَى لَمْ يَعْلَمْ بِحَبَلِهَا فَوَلَدَتْ غُلَامًا فَأَرْسَلَ عُمَرُ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ فِي ذَلِكَ إِلَى قَيْسِ بْنِ سَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَادَةَ فَقَالَ أَمَّا أَمْرٌ قَسَمَهُ سَعْدٌ وَأَمْضَاهُ فَلَنْ أَعُودَ فِيهِ وَلَكِنْ نَصِيبِي لَهُ قُلْتُ أَعْلَى كِتَابِ اللهِ قَسَّمَ؟ قَالَ لَا نَجِدُهُمْ كَانُوا يَقْسِمُونَ إِلَّا عَلَى كِتَابِ اللهِ ﷻ
