نَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ ، أنا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْقَوَارِيرِيُّ ، نَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، نَا أَبُو حَسَّانَ الأَعْرَجُ ، عَنِ الأَسْوَدِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ الْكُوفِيُّ ، أَنَّ مُعَاذَ بْنَ جَبَلٍ ، " أُتِيَ بِالْيَمَنِ فِي مِيرَاثِ رَجُلٍ تَرَكَ ابْنَتَهُ ، وَأُخْتَهُ ، فَأَعْطَى ابْنَتَهُ النِّصْفَ ، وَأُخْتَهُ النِّصْفَ ، وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَيُّ بَيْنَ أَظْهُرِهِمْ " .
Aswad bin Yazid Kufi narrates that Sayyiduna Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) distributed the inheritance of a man in Yemen, who had left behind a daughter and a sister among his heirs. Sayyiduna Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) gave half to the daughter and half to the sister. This was at the time when the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) was present among the people (i.e., during the lifetime of the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him).
