Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 33337 — A man who left his grandfather

Ibrahim said: Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) used to make the grandfather a partner with the brothers in the division of the estate up to one third, and he used to give every entitled person his right, and he would not make a maternal half-brother an heir in the presence of the grandfather, and when full brothers were sharing in the division with the grandfather he would not include a paternal half-brother in the division. When a full sister, a paternal half-sister and a grandfather came together, he would have the full sister given half of the estate and the grandfather also half of the estate. And Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) used to make the grandfather a partner with the brothers in the division of the estate up to one sixth, and he would have every entitled person given his right, and he would not make a maternal half-brother an heir in the presence of the grandfather, and he would not include paternal half-brothers in the division with full brothers, and he would not give the grandfather more than one sixth of the estate in the presence of children, unless there was no other heir besides the grandfather. So when a full sister, a paternal half-brother and a grandfather came together, he would give the full sister half of the estate and divide the remaining half between the grandfather and the brother. And Sayyiduna Zayd (may Allah be pleased with him) used to make the grandfather a partner with the brothers and sisters in the division up to one third; when his portion reached one third he would give him one third of the estate, and the rest of the estate was for the brothers and sisters. He would not make maternal half-brothers heirs in the presence of the grandfather, nor would he include them in the division. He used to count the paternal half-brothers along with the full brothers in the division, but he would not make them heirs of anything. When a full sister, a paternal half-brother, a paternal half-sister and a grandfather came together, he would give the full sister half of the estate and make the brother and the sister partners with the grandfather in the division.
