Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Musayyib bin Rafi’ narrates that I was sitting with Abdullah bin Utbah when he instructed me to reconcile between the daughter and the sister, and Hazrat Ibn Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him) had instructed him not to make the sister an heir in the presence of the daughter. I was about to reconcile between the two when Aswad bin Yazid arrived and said that he had seen Hazrat Mu’adh (may Allah be pleased with him) in Yemen distribute wealth between the daughter and the sister. I went to Hazrat Ibn Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him) and informed him of this, so he instructed me to go to you and inform you as well, so that you may decide accordingly and send this matter in writing to them. And he said, “O Aswad! In our view, you are a truthful man. Go to them and inform them of this so that they may decide accordingly.” Abu Bakr says that this issue will be resolved in two shares, one share for the daughter and one for the sister.
