[Machine] About the inheritance of the grandfather and the siblings and indeed the Kalalah and much of what is decided in these inheritances, only Allah knows the extent of it, and we used to bring matters regarding it to the caliphs after the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , so we would take from it what we wanted to disclose, and we would give fatwas about it after being consulted about the inheritances.  

الطبراني:٤٨٦٠حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو يَزِيدَ الْقَرَاطِيسِيُّ وَيَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ الْعَلَّافُ قَالَا ثنا سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ ثنا ابْنُ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي أَنَّهُ أَخَذَ هَذِهِ الرِّسَالَةَ مِنْ خَارِجَةَ بْنِ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ لِعَبْدِ اللهِ مُعَاوِيَةَ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ مِنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ «§سَلَامٌ عَلَيْكَ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ فَإِنِّي أَحْمَدُ إِلَيْكَ اللهَ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ أَمَا بَعْدُ فَإِنَّكَ كَتَبْتَ تَسْأَلُنِي

عَنْ مِيرَاثِ الْجَدِّ وَالْأُخْوَةِ وَإِنَّ الْكَلَالَةَ وَكَثِيرًا مِمَّا يُقْضَى بِهِ فِي هَذِهِ الْمَوَارِيثِ لَا يَعْلَمُ مَبْلَغُهَا إِلَّا اللهُ وَقَدْ كُنَّا نَحْضُرُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ أُمُورًا عِنْدَ الْخُلَفَاءِ بَعْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَوَعِينَا مِنْهَا مَا شِئْنَا أَنْ نَعِيَ فَنَحْنُ نُفْتِي بِهِ بَعْدُ مَنِ اسْتَفْتَانَا فِي الْمَوَارِيثِ»
