Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 16559 — A grandmother came to Sayyiduna Abu Bakr

حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الدَّبَرِيُّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ قَبِيصَةَ بْنِ ذُؤَيْبٍ الْخُزَاعِيِّ، قَالَ: جَاءَتِ الْجَدَّةُ إِلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ تَطْلُبُ مِيرَاثَهَا مِنِ ابْنِهَا أَوِ ابْنَتِهَا، فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: مَا أَجِدُ لَكِ فِي كِتَابِ اللهِ شَيْئًا، وَمَا سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، يَقْضِي لَكِ بِشَيْءٍ، وَسَأَسْأَلُ النَّاسَ الْعَشِيَّةَ، فَلَمَّا صَلَّى الظُّهْرَ أَقْبَلَ عَلَى النَّاسِ، فَقَالَ: إِنَّ الْجَدَّةَ أَتَتْنِي تَسْأَلُ مِيرَاثَهَا مِنِ ابْنِهَا أَوِ ابْنَتِهَا، وَإِنِّي لَمْ أَجِدْ لَهَا فِي الْكِتَابِ شَيْئًا، وَمَا سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقْضِي لَهَا بِشَيْءٍ، فَهَلْ سَمِعَ أَحَدٌ مِنْكُمْ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فِيهَا شَيْئًا؟، فَقَامَ الْمُغِيرَةُ بْنُ شُعْبَةَ فَقَالَ: «شَهِدْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقْضِي لَهَا بِالسُّدُسِ» ، فَأَعْطَاهَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ السُّدُسَ، فَقَالَ: هَلْ سَمِعَ ذَلِكَ مَعَكَ أَحَدٌ، فَقَامَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ، فَقَالَ: شَهِدْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، يَقْضِي لَهَا بِالسُّدُسِ "، فَأَعْطَاهَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ السُّدُسَ، فَلَمَّا كَانَتْ خِلَافَةُ عُمَرَ جَاءَتْهُ الْجَدَّةُ الَّتِي تُخَالِفُهَا، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ: إِنَّمَا كَانَ الْقَضَاءُ فِي غَيْرِكِ، وَلَكِنْ إِذَا اجْتَمَعْتُمَا فَالسُّدُسُ بَيْنَكُمَا، وَأَيَّتُكُمَا خَلَتْ فَهُوَ لَهَا
Qabisah bin Dhu'ayb al-Khuza'i said: A grandmother came to Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) seeking her inheritance from (the estate of) her son or daughter. Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I do not find anything for you in the Book of Allah, nor have I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) decide anything for you, and I will ask the people in the evening. When he had prayed the Zuhr prayer, he turned to the people and said: A grandmother has come to me asking about her inheritance from (the estate of) her son or daughter, and I have not found anything for her in the Book of Allah, nor have I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) give any decision for her. Has any of you heard anything from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) about this? Al-Mughirah bin Shu'bah (may Allah be pleased with him) stood up and said: "I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) give her one sixth." So Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) gave her one sixth. Then he asked: Did anyone else hear this along with you? Sayyiduna Muhammad bin Maslamah (may Allah be pleased with him) stood up and said: I too saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) give her one sixth. So Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) gave her one sixth. When the caliphate of Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) came, the grandmother from the other side (that is, the maternal grandmother) came to him, and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: That decision was for someone other than you, but if the two of you are together, the one sixth will be divided between you, and whichever of you is alone will receive all of it.
