(5) Chapter. Allah’s Statement “In that which your wives leave, your share is a half...” (V.4:12)
Hadith 4578
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ ، عَنْ وَرْقَاءَ ، عَنْ ابْنِ أَبِي نَجِيحٍ ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ ، عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا ، قَالَ : " كَانَ الْمَالُ لِلْوَلَدِ ، وَكَانَتِ الْوَصِيَّةُ لِلْوَالِدَيْنِ ، فَنَسَخَ اللَّهُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ مَا أَحَبَّ ، فَجَعَلَ لِلذَّكَرِ مِثْلَ حَظِّ الْأُنْثَيَيْنِ ، وَجَعَلَ لِلْأَبَوَيْنِ لِكُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا السُّدُسَ وَالثُّلُثَ ، وَجَعَلَ لِلْمَرْأَةِ الثُّمُنَ وَالرُّبُعَ ، وَللزَّوْجِ الشَّطْرَ وَالرُّبُعَ " .
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: (In the Pre-Islamic Period ) the children used to inherit all the property but the parents used to inherit only through a will. So Allah cancelled that which He liked to cancel and put decreed that the share of a son was to be twice the share of a daughter, and for the parents one-sixth for each one of them, or one third, and for the wife one-eighth or one-fourth, and for the husband one-half, or one-fourth.
