أَخْبَرَنَا أَخْبَرَنَا
سَعِيدُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ، أَنْبَأَنَا
شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ
الْحَكَمِ، عَنْ
عِكْرِمَةَ، قَالَ:
"أَرْسَلَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ إِلَى زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ: أَتَجِدُ فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ لِلْأُمِّ ثُلُثُ مَا بَقِي ؟ فَقَالَ زَيْدٌ: إِنَّمَا أَنْتَ رَجُلٌ تَقُولُ بِرَأْيِكَ، وَأَنَا رَجُلٌ أَقُولُ بِرَأْيِي".
Ikrimah said: Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) sent a message to Sayyiduna Zaid bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) asking, "Do you give the mother one-third of what remains in Allah's Book (the Noble Qur'an)?" Sayyiduna Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him) replied: "You are a man who gives a verdict on this matter according to your opinion, and I am also a man who gives a verdict according to my opinion."
