Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 33122 — A husband and both parents: from how

Ikrimah said: Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) sent me to Sayyiduna Zayd bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) to ask about the issue of a husband and parents inheriting. Sayyiduna Zayd (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "The husband is entitled to half of the estate and the mother to a third of the remainder, and that will be a sixth of the whole estate." Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) sent him a message: "Do you find this in the Book of Allah?" He said: "I dislike giving a mother preference over a father." Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) used to give the mother a third of the entire estate.
