حَدَّثَنَا
مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى ، قَالَ : ثنا
بِشْرُ بْنُ عُمَرَ ، قَالَ : ثنا
مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ ، عَنِ
ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، عَنْ
عُثْمَانَ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ خَرَشَةَ ، عَنْ
قَبَيْصَة بْنِ ذُؤَيْبٍ ، قَالَ : جَاءَتِ الْجَدَّةُ إِلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ تَسْأَلُهُ مِيرَاثَهَا ، فَقَالَ : مَا لَكِ فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ شَيْءٌ ، وَمَا عَلِمْتُ لَكِ فِي سُنَّةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ شَيْئًا ، فَارْجِعِي حَتَّى أَسْأَلَ النَّاسَ ، فَسَأَلَ النَّاسَ ، فَقَالَ
الْمُغِيرَةُ بْنُ شُعْبَةَ : حُضَرْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَعْطَاهَا السُّدُسَ ، فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ : هَلْ مَعَكَ غَيْرُكَ ؟ فَقَامَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ الأَنْصَارِيُّ ، فَقَالَ مِثْلَمَا قَالَ الْمُغِيرَةُ ، فَأَنْفَذَهُ لَهَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، ثُمَّ جَاءَتِ الْجَدَّةُ الأُخْرَى إِلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ تَسْأَلُهُ مِيرَاثَهَا ، فَقَالَ : مَا لَكِ فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ شَيْءٌ ، وَمَا الْقَضَاءُ الَّذِي بَلَغَنَا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَضَى بِهِ إِلا لِغَيْرِكِ ، وَمَا أَنَا زَائِدٌ فِي الْفَرَائِضِ شَيْئًا ، وَلَكِنْ هُوَ ذَلِكَ السُّدُسُ ، فَإِنِ اجْتَمَعْتُمَا فِيهِ فَهُوَ بَيْنَكُمَا ، وَأَيُّكُمَا خَلَتْ بِهِ فَهُوَ لَهَا " .
Qabisah bin Dhuwaib (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that a maternal grandmother came to Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) to inquire about her share of inheritance. He (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "There is no share mentioned for you in the Book of Allah, nor do I know of any share for you from the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Go back, and I will ask the people about this matter." So he asked the people, and Mughira bin Shu’bah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I was present with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he gave her (the grandmother) one-sixth." Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) asked him: "Is there anyone else (as a witness) with you?" Then Muhammad bin Maslamah (may Allah be pleased with him) stood up and said the same thing that Mughira bin Shu’bah (may Allah be pleased with him) had said. So Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) implemented this ruling. Then another maternal grandmother came to Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) to inquire about her share of inheritance. He said: "There is nothing for you in the Book of Allah, and the decision of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that has reached us is not concerning you. Also, I cannot add anything from myself to the prescribed shares, and your share is one-sixth. If both of you are present, it will be divided between you, and if only one of you is present, then the one-sixth will be hers alone."
