حَدَّثَنَا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ مَالِكٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ إِسْحَاق بْنِ خَرَشَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ قَبِيصَةَ بْنِ ذُؤَيْبٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّهُ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ جَاءَتِ الْجَدَّةُ إِلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقِ تَسْأَلُهُ مِيرَاثَهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ مَا لَكِ فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى شَيْءٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَمَا عَلِمْتُ لَكِ فِي سُنَّةِ نَبِيِّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ شَيْئًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَارْجِعِي حَتَّى أَسْأَلَ النَّاسَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَسَأَلَ النَّاسَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ الْمُغِيرَةُ بْنُ شُعْبَةَ:‏‏‏‏ حَضَرْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَعْطَاهَا السُّدُسَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ:‏‏‏‏ هَلْ مَعَكَ غَيْرُكَ ؟، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَامَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ مِثْلَ مَا قَالَ الْمُغِيرَةُ بْنُ شُعْبَةَ فَأَنْفَذَهُ لَهَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ جَاءَتِ الْجَدَّةُ الأُخْرَى إِلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ تَسْأَلُهُ مِيرَاثَهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ مَا لَكِ فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى شَيْءٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَمَا كَانَ الْقَضَاءُ الَّذِي قُضِيَ بِهِ إِلَّا لِغَيْرِكِ وَمَا أَنَا بِزَائِدٍ فِي الْفَرَائِضِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَلَكِنْ هُوَ ذَلِكَ السُّدُسُ فَإِنِ اجْتَمَعْتُمَا فِيهِ فَهُوَ بَيْنَكُمَا وَأَيَّتُكُمَا خَلَتْ بِهِ فَهُوَ لَهَا.

A grandmother came to Abu Bakr رضی اللہ عنہ asking him for her share of inheritance. He said: There is nothing prescribed for you in Allah's Book, nor do I know anything for you in the Sunnah of the Prophet of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم Go home till I question the people. He then questioned the people, and al-Mughirah Ibn Shubah رضی اللہ عنہ said: I had been present with the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم when he gave grandmother a sixth. Abu Bakr رضی اللہ عنہ said: Is there anyone with you? Muhammad Ibn Maslamah stood and said the same as al-Mughirah Ibn Shubah رضی اللہ عنہ had said. So Abu Bakr رضی اللہ عنہ made it apply to her. Another grandmother came to Umar Ibn al-Khattab رضی اللہ عنہ asking him for her share of inheritance. He said: Nothing has been prescribed for you in Allah's Book. The decision made before you was made for a grandmother other than you. I am not going to add in the shares of inheritance; but it is that sixth. If there are two of you, it is shared between you, but whichever of you is the only one left gets it all.
