Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 18191 — A grandmother (maternal or paternal)

حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الدَّبَرِيُّ، أَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ قَبِيصَةَ بْنِ ذُؤَيْبٍ، قَالَ: جَاءَتِ الْجَدَّةُ إِلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ تَطْلُبُ مِيرَاثَهَا مِنِ ابْنِ ابْنِهَا أَوِ ابْنِ ابْنَتِهَا - لَا أَدْرِي أَيَّتَهُمَا هِيَ - 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 تَسْأَلُنِي مِيرَاثَهَا مِنِ ابْنِ ابْنِهَا أَوِ ابْنِ ابْنَتِهَا , وَإِنِّي لَمْ أَجِدْ لَهَا فِي الْكِتَابِ شَيْئًا , وَلَمْ أَسْمَعِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَضَى 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» 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 رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ: إِنَّمَا كَانَ الْقَضَاءُ فِي غَيْرِكِ , وَلَكِنْ إِذَا اجْتَمَعْتُمَا فَالسُّدُسُ بَيْنَكُمَا , وَأَيَّتُكُمَا خَلَتْ بِهِ فَهُوَ لَهَا
Qabisah bin Dhu'ayb (may Allah have mercy on him) said: A grandmother (maternal or paternal) came to Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) asking for her share of the inheritance of her son's son or her daughter's son - I do not remember which of the two she was. Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I do not find any share 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 this evening." When he had prayed Zuhr, he turned to the people and said: "A grandmother (maternal or paternal) has come to me asking for her share of the inheritance of her son's son or her daughter's son, and I have not found any share for her in the Book of Allah, nor have I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) decide anything for her. Has any of you heard anything about this from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)?" At that, Mughirah bin Shu'bah (may Allah be pleased with him) stood up and said: "I witnessed the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) deciding a sixth for her." Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) asked: "Did anyone else hear this with you?" Then Muhammad bin Maslamah (may Allah be pleased with him) stood up and said: "I witnessed the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) deciding a sixth for her." So Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) gave her a sixth. Then, when the caliphate of Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) came, the other grandmother, the counterpart of the first, came to him. Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "The ruling was only made for someone other than you, but if the two of you are together, the sixth will be divided equally between you, and whichever of you is alone, it is all hers."
