بَابُ قَوْلِ عُمَرَ فِي الْجَدِّChapter on Umar's statement regarding the grandfather
Hadith 1237
اُردوEn
سَعِيدٌ قَالَ: نا هُشَيْمٌ، قَالَ: أنا مُطَرِّفٌ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، قَالَ: كَتَبَ عُمَرُ إِلَى أَبِي مُوسَى الْأَشْعَرِيِّ «إِنَّا كُنَّا أَعْطَيْنَا الْجَدَّ مَعَ الْإِخْوَةِ السُّدُسَ وَلَا أَحْسَبُنَا إِلَّا قَدْ أَجْحَفْنَا بِهِ فَإِذَا أَتَاكَ كِتَابِي هَذَا فَأَعْطِ الْجَدَّ مَعِ الْأَخِ الشَّطْرَ، وَمَعَ الْأَخَوَيْنِ الثُّلُثَ، فَإِذَا كَانُوا أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَلَا تُنْقِصْهُ مِنَ الثُّلُثَ»
Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) wrote to Sayyiduna Abu Musa Ash’ari (may Allah be pleased with him): “We used to give the grandfather one-sixth along with the brothers, and perhaps we were excessive with him in this. So when this letter of mine reaches you, give the grandfather half with one brother, a third with two brothers, and if the brothers are more, do not make the grandfather’s share less than a third.”
