حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رُمْحٍ أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ لَهِيعَةَ عَنْ عُقَيْلٍ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ نَافِعًا يُخْبِرُ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ مَا کَانَ مِنْ مِيرَاثٍ قُسِمَ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَهُوَ عَلَی قِسْمَةِ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ وَمَا کَانَ مِنْ مِيرَاثٍ أَدْرَکَهُ الْإِسْلَامُ فَهُوَ عَلَی قِسْمَةِ الْإِسْلَامِ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 2749
It was narrated from 'Abdullah bin 'Umar that the Messenger of Allah P.B.U.H said: "Whatever division of inheritance was made during the Ignorance period, stands according to the division of the Ignorance period, and whatever division of inheritance was made during Islam, it stands according to the division of Islam." (Hasan)
