باب الرَّجُلِ يُوصِي بِمِثْلِ نَصِيبِ بَعْضِ الْوَرَثَةِ:
Chapter on a man bequeathing the same share as some heirs
Hadith 3283
حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ، عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ: "إِذَا أَوْصَى الرَّجُلُ لِآخَرَ بِمِثْلِ نَصِيبِ ابْنِهِ، فَلَا يَتِمُّ لَهُ مِثْلُ نَصِيبِهِ، حَتَّى يَنْقُصَ مِنْهُ".
Ibrahim (may Allah have mercy on him) said: When a man makes a bequest for someone that he should be given a share like that of his son, then his share will not be complete until there is a reduction from the son's share.
Hadith 3284
حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ أَبِي هِنْدٍ، عَنْ الشَّعْبِيِّ: "فِي رَجُلٍ كَانَ لَهُ ثَلَاثَةُ بَنِينَ، فَأَوْصَى لِرَجُلٍ مِثْلَ نَصِيبِ أَحَدِهِمْ لَوْ كَانُوا أَرْبَعَةً، قَالَ الشَّعْبِيُّ: يُعْطَى الْخُمُسَ".
It is narrated from Imam Sha'bi, may Allah have mercy on him: If a man has three sons and he makes a bequest for someone equal to the share of one of them, as if he had four sons, Sha'bi, may Allah have mercy on him, said: He will be given one-fifth.
Hadith 3285
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عِيسَى، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ أَبِي هِنْدٍ، قَالَ: "سَأَلْنَا عَامِرًا عَنْ رَجُلٍ تَرَكَ ابْنَيْنِ، وَأَوْصَى بِمِثْلِ نَصِيبِ أَحَدِهِمْ لَوْ كَانُوا ثَلَاثَةً، قَالَ: أَوْصَى بِالرُّبُعِ".
Dawud bin Abi Hind said: We asked ‘Amir (Sha’bi, may Allah have mercy on him): A man left behind two sons and made a will that so-and-so should be given a share equal to one of their shares, when they are three? Sha’bi, may Allah have mercy on him, said: I instruct that he be given a quarter share. In some versions it is «أوصي بالربع» and in others «افتي بالربع », meaning he gave the fatwa of a quarter.
Hadith 3286
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النُّعْمَانِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ مُغِيرَةَ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ: "فِي رَجُلٍ أَوْصَى بِمِثْلِ نَصِيبِ بَعْضِ الْوَرَثَةِ، قَالَ: لَا يَجُوزُ، وَإِنْ كَانَ أَقَلَّ مِنْ الثُّلُثِ"، قَالَ أَبُو مُحَمَّد: هُوَ حَسَنٌ.
Ibrahim (may Allah have mercy on him) said: If a man makes a bequest (wasiyyah) for someone equal to the share of one of his heirs, he said: Such (ambiguous) bequest, even if it is less than one third, is not permissible. Imam Darimi (may Allah have mercy on him) said: This statement is good.
