Bayhaqi 12377 — The inheritance of two paternal cousins, one

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، ثنا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، أنا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَوْسِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ حَكِيمِ بْنِ عِقَالٍ قَالَ: أُتِيَ شُرَيْحٌ فِي امْرَأَةٍ تَرَكَتِ ابْنَيْ عَمِّهَا، أَحَدُهُمَا زَوْجُهَا وَالْآخَرُ أَخُوهَا لِأُمِّهَا، فَأَعْطَى الزَّوْجَ النِّصْفَ، وَأَعْطَى الْأَخَ مِنَ الْأُمِّ مَا بَقِيَ، فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ عَلِيًّا رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ: ادْعُو إِلَىَّ الْعَبْدَ الْأَبْطَرَ، فَدُعِيَ شُرَيْحٌ فَقَالَ: " مَا قَضَيْتَ؟ " قَالَ: أَعْطَيْتُ الزَّوْجَ النِّصْفَ، وَالْأَخَ مِنَ الْأُمِّ مَا بَقِيَ، فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ: " أَبِكِتَابِ اللهِ أَمْ بِسُنَّةٍ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ؟ " فَقَالَ: بَلْ بِكِتَابِ اللهِ، فَقَالَ: " أَيْنَ؟ " قَالَ شُرَيْحٌ: {وَأُولُو الْأَرْحَامِ بَعْضُهُمْ أَوْلَى بِبَعْضٍ فِي كِتَابِ اللهِ} [الأحزاب: ٦]، فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ: " هَلْ قَالَ: لِلزَّوْجِ النِّصْفُ، وَلِهَذَا مَا بَقِيَ ". ثُمَّ أَعْطَى عَلِيٌّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ الزَّوْجَ النِّصْفَ، وَالْأَخَ مِنَ الْأُمِّ السُّدُسَ، ثُمَّ مَا بَقِيَ قَسَّمَهُ بَيْنَهُمَا وَرَوَاهُ أَيْضًا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ أَوْسٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ.
Hakim bin Iqal (may Allah have mercy on him) said: The case of a woman was brought to Shurayh (may Allah have mercy on him); she had left behind two sons of her paternal uncle, one of whom was her husband and the other her maternal half-brother. Shurayh (may Allah have mercy on him) gave the husband half and gave the rest to the maternal half-brother. This reached Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), so he sent for Shurayh (may Allah have mercy on him) and said: "Call this insolent slave to me." When Shurayh was called, he said: "What did you rule?" Shurayh (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "I gave the husband half and gave the maternal half-brother the remainder." Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Did you rule this by the Book of Allah or by a Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)?" Shurayh (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "By the Book of Allah." Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) asked: "Where?" Shurayh (may Allah have mercy on him) recited: "And those of blood relationship are more entitled to one another in the Book of Allah" [Surah al-Anfal: 75]. Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Does it say: half for the husband, and the rest for this one?" Then Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) gave the husband half and gave the maternal half-brother a sixth. Then he divided the remainder between the two of them.
