السِّهَامُ لَا تَعُولُ وَ لَا تَكُونُ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ سِتَّةٍ. وَ- عَنْهُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ أُذَيْنَةَ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ.
The ordained shares do not face deficiency and they are not more than six.’” It is narrated from the narrator of the previous Hadith from Muhammad ibn ‘Isa ibn ‘Ubayd from Yunus ibn ‘Abd al-Rahman from ‘Umar ibn ’Udhaynah a similar Hadith.
قُلْتُ لِزُرَارَةَ إِنَّ بُكَيْرَ بْنَ أَعْيَنَ حَدَّثَنِي عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع أَنَّ السِّهَامَ لَا تَعُولُ وَ لَا تَكُونُ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ سِتَّةٍ فَقَالَ هَذَا مَا لَيْسَ فِيهِ اخْتِلَافٌ بَيْنَ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع.
“I once said to Zurarah that Bukayr ibn ’A’yan has narrated to me from abu Ja‘far (a.s.), that the shares do not face deficiency and they are not more than six. He said, ‘This is of things in which there are no differences among our people from abu ‘Abd Allah, and abu Ja‘far, ‘Alayhim al- Salam.”’
السِّهَامُ لَا تَعُولُ.
“Abu Ja‘far (a.s.), has said, ‘The ordained shares do not face deficiency.”’
أَمَرَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ع أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع فَأَقْرَأَنِي صَحِيفَةَ الْفَرَائِضِ فَرَأَيْتُ جُلَّ مَا فِيهَا عَلَى أَرْبَعَةِ أَسْهُمٍ[1].
“Abu Ja‘far, commanded abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhim al-Salam, to make me read the booklet on ordained shares and I saw most of them were up to four shares.’”
أَنَّ السِّهَامَ لَا تَكُونُ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ سِتَّةِ أَسْهُمٍ
“Abu Ja‘far (a.s.), has said, ‘The ordained shares are not more than six.’”
قَرَأَ عَلَيَّ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع فَرَائِضَ عَلِيٍّ ع فَكَانَ أَكْثَرُهُنَّ مِنْ خَمْسَةٍ أَوْ مِنْ أَرْبَعَةٍ وَ أَكْثَرُهُ مِنْ سِتَّةِ أَسْهُمٍ.
“I read before abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), the ordained shares (from the book of) according to Ali (a.s.). Many of them were from one-fifth or one-fourth and most of them were from one-sixth.’”
أَصْلُ الْفَرَائِضِ مِنْ سِتَّةِ أَسْهُمٍ لَا تَزِيدُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ وَ لَا تَعُولُ عَلَيْهَا ثُمَّ الْمَالُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ لِأَهْلِ السِّهَامِ الَّذِينَ ذُكِرُوا فِي الْكِتَابِ.
“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘The roots of ordained shares are six. They do not increase or face deficiency and thereafter the legacy is for those whose shares are mentioned in the book (of Allah).”’
