إذا ترك إخوة وجدا واختلافهم فيه
When he leaves brothers and a grandfather, and their disagreement over it
Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 33317 — When he leaves brothers
٣٣٣١٧ - (١) حدثنا أبو معاوية عن الأعمش عن إبراهيم عن عبيد بن (نضيلة) (٢) قال: كان عمر وعبد اللَّه (يقاسمان) (٣) بالجد مع الإخوة ما بينه وبين أن يكون السدس خيرا له من مقاسمتهم، ثم إن عمر كتب إلى عبد اللَّه: ما أرى إلا أنا قد أجحفنا بالجد، فإذا جاءك كتابي هذا فقاسم به مع الإخوة ما بينه وبين أن يكون الثلث خيرا له من مقاسمتهم، فأخذ به عبد اللَّه (٤).
Ubayd bin Nadilah said: Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) used to divide the grandfather's share in the presence of brothers, and they would have him given whichever was better for him: one sixth, or sharing with the brothers. Then Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) wrote to Sayyiduna Abdullah: "I think that we have left the grandfather destitute. So when this letter of mine reaches you, make him a partner with the brothers in the division, in such a way that you have him given whichever is better for him: one third of the estate, or sharing with them in the division." Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) accepted this.
