Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab from Uthman ibn Ishaq ibn Kharasha that Qabisa ibn Dhu'ayb said, "A grandmother came to Abu Bakr as-Siddiq and asked him for her inheritance. Abu Bakr said to her, 'You have nothing in the Book of Allah, and I do not know that you have anything in the sunna of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Go away therefore, until I have questioned the people.' (i.e.the Companions). He questioned the people, and al-Mughira ibn Shuba said, 'I was present with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when he gave the grandmother a sixth.' Abu Bakr said, 'Was there anybody else with you?' Muhammad ibn Maslama al-Ansari stood up and said the like of what al-Mughira said. Abu Bakr as-Siddiq gave it to her. Then the other grandmother came to Umar ibn al-Khattab and asked him for her inheritance. He said to her, "You have nothing in the Book of Allah, and what has been decided is only for other than you, and I am not one to add to the fixed shares, other than that sixth. If there are two of you together, it is between you. If eitherof you is left alone with it, it is hers."  

جَاءَتِ الْجَدَّةُ إِلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقِ تَسْأَلُهُ مِيرَاثَهَا فَقَالَ لَهَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ مَا لَكِ فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ شَىْءٌ وَمَا عَلِمْتُ لَكِ فِي سُنَّةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ شَيْئًا فَارْجِعِي حَتَّى أَسْأَلَ النَّاسَ فَسَأَلَ النَّاسَ فَقَالَ الْمُغِيرَةُ بْنُ شُعْبَةَ حَضَرْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَعْطَاهَا السُّدُسَ فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ هَلْ مَعَكَ غَيْرُكَ فَقَامَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ الأَنْصَارِيُّ فَقَالَ مِثْلَ مَا قَالَ الْمُغِيرَةُ فَأَنْفَذَهُ لَهَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقُ ثُمَّ جَاءَتِ الْجَدَّةُ الأُخْرَى إِلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ تَسْأَلُهُ مِيرَاثَهَا فَقَالَ لَهَا مَا لَكِ فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ شَىْءٌ وَمَا كَانَ الْقَضَاءُ الَّذِي قُضِيَ بِهِ إِلاَّ لِغَيْرِكِ وَمَا أَنَا بِزَائِدٍ فِي الْفَرَائِضِ شَيْئًا وَلَكِنَّهُ ذَلِكَ السُّدُسُ فَإِنِ اجْتَمَعْتُمَا فَهُوَ بَيْنَكُمَا وَأَيَّتُكُمَا خَلَتْ بِهِ فَهُوَ لَهَا  

[Machine] Al-Qa'nabi narrated that Sufyan reported from Al-Zuhri, who reported from Qabisa ibn Dhu'ayb, who said: "The grandmother of Abu Bakr came to him after the messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, had passed away. She said, 'I have a right. My son's son or daughter's son has died.' He replied, 'I do not know of any right from you in the Book of Allah, nor have I heard anything from the messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, regarding it. I will ask the people.' So, he asked them and Al-Mughira ibn Shu'ba testified, 'The messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, gave her one-sixth.' Abu Bakr asked, 'Who heard that with you?' Muhammad ibn Muslima testified, and Abu Bakr gave her one-sixth."  

ثَنَا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ ثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ قَبِيصَةَ بْنِ ذُؤَيْبٍ قَالَ جَاءَتِ الْجَدَّةُ إِلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ بَعْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ إِنَّ لِي حَقًّا إِنَّ ابْنَ ابْنٍ أَوِ ابْنَ ابْنَةٍ لِي مَاتَ قَالَ مَا عَلِمْتُ لَكِ فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ حَقًّا وَلَا سَمِعْتُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِيهِ شَيْئًا وَسَأَسْأَلُ النَّاسَ فَسَأَلَهُمْ فَشَهِدَ الْمُغِيرَةُ بْنُ شُعْبَةَ «أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَعْطَاهَا السُّدُسَ» قَالَ مَنْ سَمِعَ ذَلِكَ مَعَكَ؟ فَشَهِدَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ فَأَعْطَاهَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ السُّدُسَ  

[Machine] The grandmother came to Abu Bakr to ask for her inheritance from her son or daughter. Abu Bakr said to her, "I do not find anything for you in the Book of Allah, and I have not heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ruling in your favor. I will ask the people tonight." When he had prayed Dhuhr prayer, he approached the people and said, "Indeed, the grandmother has come to me asking for her inheritance from her son or daughter, and I have not found anything for her in the Book, nor have I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ruling in her favor. Has anyone among you heard anything from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ regarding this matter?" Al-Mughirah ibn Shu'bah stood up and said, "I bear witness that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ruled in her favor with the sixth." Abu Bakr gave her the sixth. Then he asked, "Has anyone of you heard this from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?" Muhammad ibn Muslimah stood up and said, "I bear witness that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ruled in her favor with the sixth." Abu Bakr gave her the sixth. When the caliphate of 'Umar came, the grandmother who opposed her came to him. 'Umar said to her, "The ruling was in your favor. However, when the two of you gather, the sixth is to be divided between you, and whichever of you is empty-handed, it is for her."  

جَاءَتِ الْجَدَّةُ إِلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ تَطْلُبُ مِيرَاثَهَا مِنِ ابْنِهَا أَوِ ابْنَتِهَا فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ مَا أَجِدُ لَكِ فِي كِتَابِ اللهِ شَيْئًا وَمَا سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقْضِي لَكِ بِشَيْءٍ وَسَأَسْأَلُ النَّاسَ الْعَشِيَّةَ فَلَمَّا صَلَّى الظُّهْرَ أَقْبَلَ عَلَى النَّاسِ فَقَالَ إِنَّ الْجَدَّةَ أَتَتْنِي تَسْأَلُ مِيرَاثَهَا مِنِ ابْنِهَا أَوِ ابْنَتِهَا وَإِنِّي لَمْ أَجِدْ لَهَا فِي الْكِتَابِ شَيْئًا وَمَا سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقْضِي لَهَا بِشَيْءٍ فَهَلْ سَمِعَ أَحَدٌ مِنْكُمْ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِيهَا شَيْئًا؟ فَقَامَ الْمُغِيرَةُ بْنُ شُعْبَةَ فَقَالَ «شَهِدْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقْضِي لَهَا بِالسُّدُسِ» فَأَعْطَاهَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ السُّدُسَ فَقَالَ هَلْ سَمِعَ ذَلِكَ مَعَكَ أَحَدٌ فَقَامَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ فَقَالَ شَهِدْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقْضِي لَهَا بِالسُّدُسِ فَأَعْطَاهَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ السُّدُسَ فَلَمَّا كَانَتْ خِلَافَةُ عُمَرَ جَاءَتْهُ الْجَدَّةُ الَّتِي تُخَالِفُهَا فَقَالَ عُمَرُ إِنَّمَا كَانَ الْقَضَاءُ فِي غَيْرِكِ وَلَكِنْ إِذَا اجْتَمَعْتُمَا فَالسُّدُسُ بَيْنَكُمَا وَأَيَّتُكُمَا خَلَتْ فَهُوَ لَهَا  

[Machine] "Abu Bakr, I do not find anything for you in the Book of Allah, and I have not heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ruling in your favor. I will ask the people tonight. When he finished performing the Dhuhr prayer, he approached the people and said, 'Indeed, the grandmother came to me, asking about her inheritance from her grandson or granddaughter. I have not found anything for her in the Book, and I have not heard the Prophet ﷺ ruling in her favor. Has anyone among you heard anything from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ regarding this matter?' Al-Mughira bin Shu'ba stood up and said, 'I witnessed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ruling in her favor with one-sixth.' Abu Bakr then asked, 'Does anyone have the same testimony?' Muhammad bin Muslima stood up and said, 'I witnessed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ruling in her favor with one-sixth.' Abu Bakr gave her one-sixth. When Umar assumed the caliphate, the grandmother who had a dispute with him came to him. Umar said, 'The ruling was only in your favor when you were apart. But when you both agreed, one-sixth is between you, and whichever one of you gives up the claim, it belongs to her.'"
