Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Ibrahim narrates that Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) used to divide the issue of "Akdariyyah" into eight shares: three shares for the husband, three shares for the sister, one share for the mother, and one share for the grandfather. He says that Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) used to divide this issue into nine shares: three shares for the husband, three shares for the sister, two shares for the mother, and one share for the grandfather. Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him) also used to divide this issue into nine shares: three shares for the husband, three shares for the sister, two shares for the mother, and one share for the grandfather. Then he would multiply this by three, making a total of 27 shares. Thus, the husband would get nine shares, the mother six shares, and from the remaining twelve shares, the grandfather would get eight shares and the sister four shares.

Ibrahim, through another chain of narration, reports from Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him), and Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him) similar to the previous hadith, and he has added the following: I have received this information from Hazrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he considered the grandfather as taking the place of the father, so he would not make the brother an heir in his presence, and he would give the husband half of the wealth, and the grandfather one share, that is, one-sixth of the wealth, and the mother one-third of the wealth, that is, two shares.

A narration similar to the previous hadith is also transmitted from Ibrahim through a third chain.

Hazrat Sufyan says that I asked Hazrat A’mash why this issue is called “Akdariyyah”? He replied that Abdul Malik bin Marwan had asked this issue from a man named “Akdar.” He made a mistake in it, so he (Abdul Malik) named this issue “Akdariyyah.” Hazrat Waki’ says that before this explanation of Hazrat Sufyan, we used to think that the issue was named Akdariyyah because Hazrat Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him) gave a dusty (unclear) statement about this issue, meaning he did not clarify his point.
