حَدَّثَنَا
مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، حَدَّثَنَا
وَرْقَاءُ، عَنْ
ابْنِ أَبِي نَجِيحٍ، عَنْ
عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ
ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ:
"كَانَ الْمَالُ لِلْوَلَدِ، وَكَانَتْ الْوَصِيَّةُ لِلْوَالِدَيْنِ وَالْأَقْرَبِينَ، فَنَسَخَ اللَّهُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ مَا أَحَبَّ، فَجَعَلَ لِلذَّكَرِ مِثْلَ حَظِّ الْأُنْثَيَيْنِ، وَجَعَلَ لِلْأَبَوَيْنِ لِكُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا السُّدُسَ وَالثُّلُثَ، وَجَعَلَ لِلْمَرْأَةِ الثُّمُنَ وَالرُّبُعَ، وَلِلزَّوْجِ الشَّطْرَ وَالرُّبُعَ".
Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: The wealth of the deceased used to belong to the children, and the will was specific for the parents and relatives. From this, Allah abrogated whatever He willed. Thus, He fixed for the male double the share of the female, and for each of the parents the sixth and the third, and for the wife the eighth and the fourth, and for the husband the half and the fourth.
