حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلَانَ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النَّضْرِ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ شَيْبَانُ ، عَنْ أَشْعَثَ ، عَنْ الْأَسْوَدِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ ، قَالَ : " أَتَانَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ جَبَلٍ ، بِالْيَمَنِ مُعَلِّمًا وَأَمِيرًا ، فَسَأَلْنَاهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ تُوُفِّيَ وَتَرَكَ ابْنَتَهُ وَأُخْتَهُ ، فَأَعْطَى الِابْنَةَ النِّصْفَ ، وَالْأُخْتَ النِّصْفَ " .
Narrated Al-Aswad bin Yazid: Mu`adh bin Jabal came to us in Yemen as a tutor and a ruler, and we (the people of Yemen) asked him about (the distribution of the property of ) a man who had died leaving a daughter and a sister. Mu`adh gave the daughter one-half of the property and gave the sister the other half.
