Hadith 1330
سَعِيدٌ قَالَ: نا خَالِدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، وَأَبُو شِهَابٍ، عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ، «أَعْطَى الْعَمَّةَ الثُّلُثَيْنِ، وَالْخَالَةَ الثُّلُثَ»
Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) gave two-thirds to the paternal aunt and one-third to the maternal aunt.
Hadith 1331
سَعِيدٌ قَالَ: نا هُشَيْمٌ، قَالَ: أنا دَاوُدُ بْنُ أَبِي هِنْدَ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، قَالَ: انْتَهَى إِلَى زِيَادٍ عَمَّةٌ وَخَالَةٌ، فَقَالَ زِيَادٌ: «أَنَا أَعْلَمُ النَّاسِ بِقَضَاءِ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ فِيهَا، جَعَلَ الْعَمَّةَ بِمَنْزِلَةِ الْأَبِ فَجَعَلَ لَهَا الثُّلُثَيْنِ، وَجَعَلَ الْخَالَةَ بِمَنْزِلَةِ الْأُمِّ فَجَعَلَ لَهَا الثُّلُثَ»
It is narrated from ‘Amir Sha‘bi (may Allah have mercy on him) that a case concerning a paternal aunt and a maternal aunt was brought before Ziyad. Ziyad said: “I am most knowledgeable of the ruling of Sayyiduna ‘Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him); he gave the paternal aunt the status of the father and allotted her two-thirds, and he gave the maternal aunt the status of the mother and allotted her one-third.”
Hadith 1332
سَعِيدٌ قَالَ: نا هُشَيْمٌ، قَالَ: أنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَالِمٍ، قَالَ: نا الشَّعْبِيُّ، عَنْ مَسْرُوقِ بْنِ الْأَجْدَعِ، عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «الْعَمَّةُ بِمَنْزِلَةِ الْأَبِ، وَالْخَالَةُ بِمَنْزِلَةِ الْأُمِّ، وَبِنْتُ الْأَخِ بِمَنْزِلَةِ الْأَخِ، وَكُلُّ ذِي رَحِمٍ بِمَنْزِلَةِ رَحِمِهِ الَّتِي تَجُرُّهُ، إِذَا لَمْ يَكُنْ وَارِثٌ أَوْ فَرِيضَةٌ»
Masruq bin al-Ajda’ (may Allah have mercy on him) narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: “The paternal aunt is in the place of the father, the maternal aunt is in the place of the mother, the brother’s daughter is in the place of the brother, and every relative is in the place of the one from whom they originate, when there is no other heir or prescribed heir.”
Hadith 1333
سَعِيدٌ قَالَ: نا هُشَيْمٌ، قَالَ: أنا مُغِيرَةُ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، أَنَّ مَسْرُوقًا، قَضَى فِي عَمَّةٍ وَخَالَةٍ، فَجَعَلَ الْعَمَّةَ بِمَنْزِلَةِ الْأَبِ، فَجَعَلَ لَهَا الثُّلُثَيْنِ، وَجَعَلَ الْخَالَةَ بِمَنْزِلَةِ الْأُمِّ فَجَعَلَ لَهَا الثُّلُثَ قَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ: وَكَانَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ ذَلِكَ
Masruq (may Allah have mercy on him) gave a ruling regarding the paternal aunt and the maternal aunt: he placed the paternal aunt in the position of the father and gave her two-thirds, and he placed the maternal aunt in the position of the mother and gave her one-third. Ibrahim (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Our master Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) also used to say the same.
Hadith 1334
سَعِيدٌ قَالَ: نا هُشَيْمٌ، قَالَ: أنا مُغِيرَةُ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا عَرَفَ أُخْتًا لَهُ سُبِيَتْ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ، فَوَجَدَهَا وَمَعَهَا ابْنٌ لَهَا، وَلَا يَدْرِي مَنْ أَبُوهُ، فَاشْتَرَاهُمَا ثُمَّ أَعْتَقَهُمَا، وَأَصَابَ الْغُلَامُ مُوَيْلًا وَمَاتَ، فَأَتَوَا ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ فَذَكَرُوا ذَلِكَ، فَقَالَ: ائْتِ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عُمَرَ فَاسْأَلْهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ، ثُمَّ ارْجِعْ فَأَخْبِرْنِي بِمَا يَقُولُ لَكَ. فَأَتَى عُمَرَ، فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لَهُ، فَقَالَ: مَا أَرَاكَ عَصَبَةً وَلَا بِذِي فَرِيضَةٍ. فَرَجَعَ إِلَى ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ فَأَخْبَرَهُ، فَانْطَلَقَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ حَتَّى دَخَلَ عَلَى عُمَرَ، فَقَالَ: كَيْفَ أَفْتَيْتَ هَذَا الرَّجُلَ؟ قَالَ: لَمْ أَرَهُ عَصَبَةً وَلَا بِذِي فَرِيضَةٍ. فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ: هَذَا لَمْ تُوَرِّثْهُ مِنْ قِبَلِ الرَّحِمِ، وَلَا وَرَّثْتَهُ مِنْ قِبَلِ الْوَلَاءِ. قَالَ: مَا تَرَى؟ قَالَ: أَرَاهُ ذَا رَحِمٍ وَوَلِيَّ نِعْمَةٍ، وَأَرَى أَنْ تُوَرِّثَهُ. قَالَ: فَوَرَّثَهُ
A man in the time of ignorance took hold of his sister, and with her was her son, whose father was unknown. He bought them and set them free. The boy became wealthy and died. The case was brought to Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him). He said: "Go to the Commander of the Believers, Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him)." They went, and Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "You are neither an 'Asabah (agnate) nor among those entitled to a fixed share." Then they returned to Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him), and he said: "He is a guardian by kinship and favor; I make him the heir." Thus, Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) made him the heir.
Hadith 1335
سَعِيدٌ قَالَ: نا خَالِدٌ، عَنْ بَيَانٍ، عَنْ وَبَرَةَ، عَنْ عُمَرَ، وَعَبْدِ اللَّهِ، بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ

It is narrated from Sha'bi (may Allah have mercy on him) that Abu Ubaidah bin Abdullah gave all the wealth to a man's daughter or sister. Sha'bi (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "People better than them also used to do this, such as Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him)."

Shu'bi (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I asked him, "Is the paternal uncle's daughter given precedence or the paternal aunt?" He said: "The paternal uncle's daughter." I bear witness that Masruq (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "Place them in the position of their father."

سَعِيدٌ قَالَ: نا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ الشَّيْبَانِيِّ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِعَامِرٍ الشَّعْبِيِّ: الْعَمَّةُ أَحَقُّ بِالْمِيرَاثِ أَوِ ابْنَةُ الْأَخِ؟ قَالَ: وَأَنْتَ لَا تَعْلَمُ؟ ابْنَةُ الْأَخِ، أَشْهَدُ عَلَى مَسْرُوقٍ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «أَنْزِلُوهُنَّ مَنَازِلَ آبَائِهِنَّ»
