قَالَ مَالِكٌ : وَالْجَدُّ أَبُو الْأَبِ أَوْلَى، مِنْ بَنِي الْأَخِ لِلْأَبِ وَالْأُمِّ، وَأَوْلَى مِنَ الْعَمِّ أَخِي الْأَبِ لِلْأَبِ وَالْأُمِّ بِالْمِيرَاثِ. وَابْنُ الْأَخِ لِلْأَبِ وَالْأُمِّ، أَوْلَى مِنَ الْجَدِّ بِوَلَاءِ الْمَوَالِي.
Imam Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, said that the grandfather has precedence over nephews and also over the uncle, and the nephew, who is the son of a real brother, has precedence over the grandfather in taking wala'.
