Hadith 1210
سَعِيدٌ قَالَ: نا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ خَارِجَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ «أَنَّهُ أَوَّلُ مَنْ عَالَ فِي الْفَرَائِضِ، وَأَكْثَرُ مَا بَلَغَ الْعَوْلُ مِثْلَ ثُلُثَيْ رَأْسِ الْفَرِيضَةِ»
Sayyiduna Zaid bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) was the first person who gave the verdict of «عَول» (reduction) in inheritance, and the maximum «عَول» reached up to two-thirds.
Hadith 1211
سَعِيدٌ قَالَ: نا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، قَالَ: أُتِيَ عَلِيٌّ فِي رَجُلٍ مَاتَ وَتَرَكَ أَبَوَيْهِ وَابْنَتَيْهِ وَامْرَأَتَهُ فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ لِلْمَرْأَةِ: «أَرَى ثُمُنَكِ صَارَ تُسْعًا»
A case was brought before Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) regarding a man who had left behind parents, two daughters, and a wife. He said to the wife: "I see that your one-eighth share has become one-ninth."
Hadith 1212
سَعِيدٌ قَالَ: نا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ: «لَا تَعُولُ فَرِيضَةٌ»
Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: "There is no «عَول» in inheritance."
Hadith 1213
سَعِيدٌ قَالَ: نا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ، «أَتَرَوْنَ الَّذِي أَحْصَى رَمْلَ عَالِجٍ عَدَدًا جَعَلَ فِي مَالٍ نِصْفًا وَثُلُثًا وَرُبُعًا؟ إِنَّمَا هُوَ نِصْفَانِ، وَثَلَاثَةُ أَثْلَاثٍ، وَأَرْبَعَةُ أَرْبَاعٍ»
Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: "Do you think that the one who counted the grains of sand in Al-'Alij would assign half, a third, and a quarter in wealth? Inheritance is only divided into two halves, three thirds, and four quarters."
Hadith 1214
سَعِيدٌ قَالَ: نا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَجِيحٍ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ: إِنَّ النَّاسَ لَا يَأْخُذُونَ بِقَوْلِي وَلَا بِقَوْلِكَ وَلَوْ مُتُّ أَنَا وَأَنْتَ مَا اقْتَسَمُوا مِيرَاثًا عَلَى مَا نَقُولُ، قَالَ: «فَلْيَجْتَمِعُوا فَلْنَضَعْ أَيْدِيَنَا عَلَى الرُّكْنِ ثُمَّ نَبْتَهِلْ فَنَجْعَلَ لَعْنَةَ اللَّهِ عَلَى الْكَاذِبِينَ، مَا حَكَمَ اللَّهُ بِمَا قَالُوا»
I said to Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them): "People neither accept my words nor yours. If I and you die, they will not divide the inheritance according to what we have said." He said: "Then come, let us place our hands on the Ka'bah and invoke a curse, that whoever is lying, may Allah's curse be upon him, because Allah has decided according to what we have said."
