حَدَّثَنَا الْأَنْصَارِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا مَعْنٌ حَدَّثَنَا مَالِکٌ عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ إِسْحَقَ بْنِ خَرَشَةَ عَنْ قَبِيصَةَ بْنِ ذُؤَيْبٍ قَالَ جَائَتْ الْجَدَّةُ إِلَی أَبِي بَکْرٍ تَسْأَلُهُ مِيرَاثَهَا قَالَ فَقَالَ لَهَا مَا لَکِ فِي کِتَابِ اللَّهِ شَيْئٌ وَمَا لَکِ فِي سُنَّةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ شَيْئٌ فَارْجِعِي حَتَّی أَسْأَلَ النَّاسَ فَسَأَلَ النَّاسَ فَقَالَ الْمُغِيرَةُ بْنُ شُعْبَةَ حَضَرْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَعْطَاهَا السُّدُسَ فَقَالَ أَبُو بَکْرٍ هَلْ مَعَکَ غَيْرُکَ فَقَامَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ فَقَالَ مِثْلَ مَا قَالَ الْمُغِيرَةُ بْنُ شُعْبَةَ فَأَنْفَذَهُ لَهَا أَبُو بَکْرٍ قَالَ ثُمَّ جَائَتْ الْجَدَّةُ الْأُخْرَی إِلَی عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ تَسْأَلُهُ مِيرَاثَهَا فَقَالَ مَا لَکِ فِي کِتَابِ اللَّهِ شَيْئٌ وَلَکِنْ هُوَ ذَاکَ السُّدُسُ فَإِنْ اجْتَمَعْتُمَا فِيهِ فَهُوَ بَيْنَکُمَا وَأَيَّتُکُمَا خَلَتْ بِهِ فَهُوَ لَهَا قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَی وَفِي الْبَاب عَنْ بُرَيْدَةَ وَهَذَا أَحْسَنُ وَهُوَ أَصَحُّ مِنْ حَدِيثِ ابْنِ عُيَيْنَةَ
جامع ترمذی · Hadith 2101
Qabisah bin Dhuw'aib said: A grandmother came to Abu Bakr to ask him about her inheritance. He said to her, 'There is noting for you in the Book of Allah and there is nothing for you in the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah(S.A.W). So ,return until I ask the people. So he asked the people and Al-Mughirah bin Shu'bah said: 'I was present when the Messenger of Allah(S.A.W) gave her (case) a sixth.' So he said: 'Was anyone else with you?' Muhammad bin Maslamah stood to say the same as what Al-Mughirah bin Shu'bah said. So Abu Bakr implemented that for her. Then the other grandmother came to 'Umar bin Al-Khattab to ask him about her inheritance. He said: 'There is nothing in the Book of Allah for you, but there is that sixth. So if the two of you are together then it is for both of you, and whichever of you remains), then it is for her.'
