حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ حَدَّثَنَا الزُّهْرِيُّ قَالَ مَرَّةً قَالَ قَبِيصَةُ و قَالَ مَرَّةً رَجُلٌ عَنْ قَبِيصَةَ بْنِ ذُؤَيْبٍ قَالَ جَائَتْ الْجَدَّةُ أُمُّ الْأُمِّ وَأُمُّ الْأَبِ إِلَی أَبِي بَکْرٍ فَقَالَتْ إِنَّ ابْنَ ابْنِي أَوْ ابْنَ بِنْتِي مَاتَ وَقَدْ أُخْبِرْتُ أَنَّ لِي فِي کِتَابِ اللَّهِ حَقًّا فَقَالَ أَبُو بَکْرٍ مَا أَجِدُ لَکِ فِي الْکِتَابِ مِنْ حَقٍّ وَمَا سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَضَی لَکِ بِشَيْئٍ وَسَأَسْأَلُ النَّاسَ قَالَ فَسَأَلَ النَّاسَ فَشَهِدَ الْمُغِيرَةُ بْنُ شُعْبَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَعْطَاهَا السُّدُسَ قَالَ وَمَنْ سَمِعَ ذَلِکَ مَعَکَ قَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ قَالَ فَأَعْطَاهَا السُّدُسَ ثُمَّ جَائَتْ الْجَدَّةُ الْأُخْرَی الَّتِي تُخَالِفُهَا إِلَی عُمَرَ قَالَ سُفْيَانُ وَزَادَنِي فِيهِ مَعْمَرٌ عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ وَلَمْ أَحْفَظْهُ عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ وَلَکِنْ حَفِظْتُهُ مِنْ مَعْمَرٍ أَنَّ عُمَرَ قَالَ إِنْ اجْتَمَعْتُمَا فَهُوَ لَکُمَا وَأَيَّتُکُمَا انْفَرَدَتْ بِهِ فَهُوَ لَهَا
جامع ترمذی · Hadith 2100
Qabisah bin Dhuw'aib said: A grandmother - the mother of a mother, or the mother of a father - came to Abu Bakr and she said: 'a son of my son' - or, 'a son of my daughter died, and I have been informed that there is a right ( from the wealth) for me in the Book.' So Abu Bakr said: 'I do not find that there is a right for you in the Book, and I haven't heard that the Messenger of Allah(S.A.W) judged anything for you. I shall ask the people.' So, Al-Mughirah bin Shu'bah testified that the Messenger of Allah(S.A.W) gave her (case) a sixth. He said: 'And who heard that along with you?' He said: 'Muhammad bin Maslamah. He said: So he gave her a sixth. Then the other grandmother who was left behind came to 'Umar. Sufyan said: And Ma'mar said to me in addition, from Az-Zuhri - and I do not remember it to be from A-Zuhri, rather I remember it to be from Ma'mar - that 'Umar said: 'If the two of you are together then it is for both of you, and whichever of you is alone with it (the sixth), then it is for her.'
