سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ ابْنِ أَخٍ وَ جَدٍّ فَقَالَ الْمَالُ بَيْنَهُمَا نِصْفَانِ.
“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about the case of a son of a brother and a grandfather. He (the Imam) said, ‘The legacy between them is half and half.’”
نَظَرْتُ إِلَى صَحِيفَةٍ يَنْظُرُ فِيهَا أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ع فَقَرَأْتُ فِيهَا مَكْتُوباً ابْنُ أَخٍ وَ جَدٌّ الْمَالُ بَيْنَهُمَا سَوَاءٌ فَقُلْتُ لِأَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع إِنَّ مَنْ عِنْدَنَا لَا يَقْضُونَ بِهَذَا الْقَضَاءِ وَ لَا يَجْعَلُونَ لِابْنِ الْأَخِ مَعَ الْجَدِّ شَيْئاً فَقَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ع أَمَا إِنَّهُ إِمْلَاءُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ خَطُّ عَلِيٍّ ع مِنْ فِيهِ بِيَدِهِ.
“I once looked in a book in which abu Ja‘far (a.s.), was looking and I read therein that a son of a brother and grandfather share the legacy in equal ratios. I then said to abu Ja‘far (a.s.), ‘People around us do not judge with such judgment and they do not give to a son of a brother anything with a grandfather.’ Abu J
سَمِعْتُ رَجُلًا يَسْأَلُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ع أَوْ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع[3] وَ أَنَا عِنْدَهُ عَنِ ابْنِ أَخٍ وَ جَدٍّ قَالَ يُجْعَلُ الْمَالُ بَيْنَهُمَا نِصْفَيْنِ.
“I once heard a man asking abu Ja‘far or abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhim al-Salam, when I was with him (the Imam), about the son of a brother and a grandfather. He (the Imam) said, ‘The legacy is made half and half between the two of them.’”
فِي بَنَاتِ أُخْتٍ وَ جَدٍّ فَقَالَ لِبَنَاتِ الْأُخْتِ الثُّلُثُ[4] وَ مَا بَقِيَ فَلِلْجَدِّ فَأَقَامَ بَنَاتِ الْأُخْتِ مَقَامَ الْأُخْتِ وَ جَعَلَ الْجَدَّ بِمَنْزِلَةِ الْأَخِ.
“About the case of daughters of a sister and a grandfather, abu ’Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘The daughter of a sister receives one-third and the rest is for the grandfather; the daughters of the sister take the place of the sister and have made the grandfather like a brother.”’
سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَنِ امْرَأَةٍ مُمْلَكَةٍ[5] لَمْ يَدْخُلْ بِهَا زَوْجُهَا مَاتَتْ وَ تَرَكَتْ أُمَّهَا وَ أَخَوَيْنِ لَهَا مِنْ أَبِيهَا وَ أُمِّهَا وَ جَدَّهَا أَبَا أُمِّهَا وَ زَوْجَهَا قَالَ يُعْطَى الزَّوْجُ النِّصْفَ وَ تُعْطَى الْأُمُّ الْبَاقِيَ وَ لَا يُعْطَى الْجَدُّ شَيْئاً لِأَنَّ ابْنَتَهُ حَجَبَتْهُ عَنِ الْمِيرَاثِ وَ لَا يُعْطَى الْإِخْوَةُ شَيْئاً.
8. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad and a number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad all from ibn Mahbub from al-Hassan ibn Salih who has narrated the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, about the case of a woman who is married, but before going to bed with her
سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع[1] عَنْ رَجُلٍ مَاتَ وَ تَرَكَ أَبَاهُ وَ عَمَّهُ وَ جَدَّهُ قَالَ فَقَالَ حَجَبَ الْأَبُ الْجَدَّ الْمِيرَاثُ لِلْأَبِ وَ لَيْسَ لِلْعَمِّ وَ لَا لِلْجَدِّ شَيْءٌ.
9. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Mahbub from Ali ibn abu Hamzah from abu Basir who has narrated the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, about the case of a man who dies and leaves behind his father, his uncle and grandfather. He (the Imam) said, ‘The father bars
كَتَبْتُ إِلَى أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ ع امْرَأَةٌ مَاتَتْ وَ تَرَكَتْ زَوْجَهَا وَ أَبَوَيْهَا أَوْ جَدَّهَا أَوْ جَدَّتَهَا كَيْفَ يُقْسَمُ مِيرَاثُهَا فَوَقَّعَ ع لِلزَّوْجِ النِّصْفُ وَ مَا بَقِيَ فَلِلْأَبَوَيْنِ وَ قَدْ رُوِيَ أَيْضاً أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص أَطْعَمَ الْجَدَّ وَ الْجَدَّةَ السُّدُسَ.
10. It is narrated from the narrator of the previous Hadith and Ali ibn ‘Abd Allah all from Ibrahim from ‘Abd Allah ibn Ja‘far who has narrated the following: “I once wrote to abu Muhammad, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, and asked that a woman has died leaving behind her husband, her parents or her grandfather or her grandmother; h
إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص أَطْعَمَ الْجَدَّةَ السُّدُسَ.
“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, provided for the grandmother with one-sixth.’”
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص أَطْعَمَ الْجَدَّةَ أُمَّ الْأَبِ السُّدُسَ وَ ابْنُهَا حَيٌّ وَ أَطْعَمَ الْجَدَّةَ أُمَّ الْأُمِّ السُّدُسَ وَ ابْنَتُهَا حَيَّةٌ.
Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, provided for the grandmother, mother of the father, one-sixth when his son was alive and provided for the grandmother, mother of the mother, one-sixth when her daug
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص أَطْعَمَ الْجَدَّةَ السُّدُسَ وَ لَمْ يَفْرِضْ لَهَا شَيْئاً.
“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, provided for the grandmother one-sixth but did not sanction anything for her.’”
سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع يَقُولُ إِنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ ص أَطْعَمَ الْجَدَّةَ السُّدُسَ طُعْمَةً.
“I once heard abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), saying, ‘The Holy Prophet, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, provided for the grandmother one-sixth as food.’”
دَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع وَ عِنْدَهُ أَبَانُ بْنُ تَغْلِبَ فَقُلْتُ أَصْلَحَكَ اللَّهُ إِنَّ ابْنَتِي هَلَكَتْ وَ أُمِّي حَيَّةٌ فَقَالَ أَبَانٌ لَيْسَ لِأُمِّكَ شَيْءٌ فَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ أَعْطِهَا السُّدُسَ.
“I once visited abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), when Aban ibn Taghlib was with him (the Imam) and I said, ‘I pray to Allah to keep you well, my daughter has died and my mother is alive.’ Aban said, ‘There is nothing for your mother.’ Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), said, ‘Allah is free of all defects, give her one-sixth.’”
إِذَا اجْتَمَعَ أَرْبَعُ جَدَّاتٍ ثِنْتَيْنِ مِنْ قِبَلِ الْأُمِّ وَ ثِنْتَيْنِ مِنْ قِبَلِ الْأَبِ طُرِحَتْ وَاحِدَةٌ مِنْ قِبَلِ الْأُمِّ بِالْقُرْعَةِ فَكَانَ السُّدُسُ بَيْنَ الثَّلَاثَةِ وَ كَذَلِكَ إِذَا اجْتَمَعَ أَرْبَعَةُ أَجْدَادٍ أُسْقِطَ وَاحِدٌ مِنْ قِبَلِ الْأُمِّ بِالْقُرْعَةِ وَ كَانَ السُّدُسُ بَيْنَ الثَّلَاثَةِ. هَذَا قَدْ رُوِيَ وَ هِيَ أَخْبَارٌ صَحِيحَةٌ- إِلَّا أَنَّ إِجْمَاعَ الْعِصَابَةِ أَنّ

“I once asked abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), about certain issues of ordained shares of inheritance. He (the Imam) said, ’Do you like if I show you the book of Ali (a.s.) ?’ I said, ‘But the book of Ali (a.s.), is no longer studied.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘O abu Muhammad, how can you say that the book of Ali (a.s.), is no longe
الْخَالُ وَ الْخَالَةُ يَرِثَانِ إِذَا لَمْ يَكُنْ مَعَهُمَا أَحَدٌ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَقُولُ- وَ أُولُوا الْأَرْحامِ بَعْضُهُمْ أَوْلى بِبَعْضٍ فِي كِتابِ اللَّهِ[1].
“Abu Ja‘far (a.s.), has said, ‘The maternal uncle and maternal aunt inherit if there are no other heirs. Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, has said, ‘. . . relatives have priorities over other relatives according to the book of Allah.’(33:6)”
سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ الْخَالُ وَ الْخَالَةُ يَرِثَانِ إِذَا لَمْ يَكُنْ مَعَهُمَا أَحَدٌ يَرِثُ غَيْرُهُمَا إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى يَقُولُ- وَ أُولُوا الْأَرْحامِ بَعْضُهُمْ أَوْلى بِبَعْضٍ فِي كِتابِ اللَّهِ.
“I once heard abu Ja‘far (a.s.), saying, ‘Maternal uncle and maternal aunt inherit if there are no other heirs with them. Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, has said, ‘. . . relatives have priorities over other relatives according to the book of Allah.’ (33:6)”

“About the case of the paternal aunt and maternal aunt, abu Ja’far (a.s.), has said, ‘It is one-third and two-thirds; two-thirds for the paternal aunt and one-third for the maternal aunt.’” Humayd ibn Ziyad, from al-Hassan ibn Muhammad, from al-Muthanna’, from Aban, from abu Maryam, from abu Ja‘far (a.s.), has narrated
لِلْعَمَّةِ الثُّلُثَانِ وَ لِلْخَالَةِ الثُّلُثُ.
About the case of a man who has left behind his paternal aunt and maternal aunt, abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘The paternal aunt receives two-thirds and the maternal aunt receives one- third.’”
سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع- عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَمُوتُ وَ يَتْرُكُ خَالَهُ وَ خَالَتَهُ وَ عَمَّهُ وَ عَمَّتَهُ وَ ابْنَهُ وَ ابْنَتَهُ وَ أَخَاهُ وَ أُخْتَهُ فَقَالَ كُلُّ هَؤُلَاءِ يَرِثُونَ[1] وَ يَحُوزُونَ فَإِذَا اجْتَمَعَتِ الْعَمَّةُ وَ الْخَالَةُ فَلِلْعَمَّةِ الثُّلُثَانِ وَ لِلْخَالَةِ الثُّلُثُ.
6. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Hammad from Hariz from Muhammad ibn Muslim who has narrated the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, about the case of a man who dies and leaves behind a maternal uncle, maternal aunt, paternal uncle, paternal aunt, his son, his daughter, his br

“About the case of a man who dies leaving behind his two maternal aunts and relatives, abu Ja’far (a.s.), has said, ‘Relatives have priorities over each other. The legacy belongs to the two maternal aunts.”’
