We stayed with her that day. She spread a cloth for us and we sat on it under a date-palm tree. The woman had a goat slaughtered for us and brought a water-skin and placed it there. During this time, we continued to converse. Meanwhile, a woman came, bringing her two daughters, and said: O Messenger of Allah! These are the daughters of Thabit bin Qais (the narrator is unsure, perhaps these are the words) or the daughters of Sa‘id bin Rabi‘, who was martyred with you in the Battle of Uhud. Their uncle has taken their wealth and inheritance into his possession. He has left nothing for them; he has taken it all. O Messenger of Allah! What is your opinion regarding this? By Allah! These two cannot be married off until they have some wealth. So the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: “Allah will decide about this.” Then the verse from Surah An-Nisa was revealed in which it is commanded: “Allah commands you concerning your children: for the male, a portion equal to that of two females.” Then the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said to me: “Bring that woman to me and bring the other party as well.” Then the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said to the guardian of those girls: “Give these girls two-thirds of the wealth, and give their mother one-eighth, and whatever remains will be yours.”

Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that the wife of Sayyiduna Sa’d bin Rabi’ (may Allah be pleased with him) submitted: “O Messenger of Allah! Sayyiduna Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) has passed away. He has left behind two daughters and a brother. His brother has taken all the wealth left by Sayyiduna Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) into his possession. Women are to be married according to their financial status.” The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) did not give any answer to this woman during that gathering. Then she came to your service again and submitted: “O Messenger of Allah! It is about the two daughters of Sayyiduna Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him).” The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Call his brother to me.” That person came, so the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Give his daughters two-thirds share, and give his wife one-eighth share, and whatever remains, that will be for you.”

Both of them said: "The daughter will receive half, and the remainder will go to the sister." Then both of them said: "Go to Sayyiduna Abdullah and ask him about this; he will also answer according to our opinion." The man went to Sayyiduna Abdullah, asked him about this, and also informed him of the answer given by the two. Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I will give the ruling in this matter as the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave: half will go to the daughter, one-sixth to the granddaughter, so that two-thirds are completed, and the remainder will go to the sister."

Then Abu Musa Ash'ari said: "Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) will also answer in accordance with what I have said."
