Hadith 1238
اُردوEn
سَعِيدٌ قَالَ: نا هُشَيْمٌ، قَالَ: أنا مُغِيرَةُ، قَالَ: أنا الْهَيْثَمُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ بْنِ التَّوْأَمِ الضَّبِّيِّ، قَالَ: تُوُفِّيَ أَخٌ لَنَا فِي عَهْدِ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ، وَتَرَكَ جَدَّهُ وَإِخْوَتَهُ، فَأَتَيْنَا ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ، فَأَعْطَى الْجَدَّ مَعَ الْإِخْوَةِ السُّدُسَ، ثُمَّ تُوُفِّيَ أَخٌ لَنَا آخَرُ فِي عَهْدِ عُثْمَانَ، وَتَرَكَ جَدَّهُ وَإِخْوَتَهُ، فَأَتَيْنَا ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ، فَأَعْطَى الْجَدَّ مَعَ الْإِخْوَةِ الثُّلُثَ، فَقُلْنَا: أَمَا أَتَيْنَاكَ فِي أَخِينَا الْأَوَّلِ فَجَعَلْتَ لِلْجَدِّ مَعَ الْإِخْوَةِ السُّدُسَ، ثُمَّ جَعَلْتَ لَهُ الْآنَ الثُّلُثَ؟ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ: «إِنَّمَا نَقْضِي بِقَضَاءِ أَئِمَّتِنَا»
We presented a case to Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) regarding the death of a brother who had left behind a grandfather and brothers, so he gave the grandfather one-sixth along with the brothers. Then, upon the death of another brother, a similar case was presented, and this time he gave the grandfather one-third. When we asked why he gave one-sixth before and now one-third, he replied: "We decide according to the rulings of our rulers."
