Bayhaqi 12437 — How the grandfather and the brothers and sisters share

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدٍ، أنا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ، ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، أنا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ نَضْلَةَ قَالَ: كَانَ عُمَرُ وَعَبْدُ اللهِ يُقَاسِمَانِ بِالْجَدِّ مَعَ الْإِخْوَةِ مَا بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ أَنْ يَكُونَ السُّدُسُ خَيْرًا لَهُ مِنْ مُقَاسَمَتِهِمْ، ثُمَّ إِنَّ عُمَرَ كَتَبَ إِلَى عَبْدِ اللهِ: " مَا أُرَانَا إِلَّا قَدْ أَجْحَفْنَا بِالْجَدِّ، فَإِذَا جَاءَكَ كِتَابِي هَذَا فَقَاسِمْ بِهِ مَعَ الْإِخْوَةِ مَا بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ أَنْ يَكُونَ الثُّلُثُ خَيْرًا لَهُ مِنْ مُقَاسَمَتِهِمْ "، فَأَخَذَ بِذَلِكَ عَبْدُ اللهِ.
Ubayd bin Nadlah said: Umar and Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) used to have the grandfather share with the brothers as long as a sixth was not better for him than sharing with them. Then Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) wrote to Abdullah: "I can only see that we have been unfair to the grandfather. When this letter of mine reaches you, have him share with the brothers as long as a third is not better for him than sharing with them." So Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) acted upon that.
