2. It is narrated from the narrator of the previous Hadith from al-Hassan ibn Muhammad from Muhammad ibn Sukayn and Ali ibn abu Hamzah from Mushma‘il and ibn Ribat from Mushma‘il all of them from abu Basir who has narrated the following
“Abu Ja‘far (a.s.), once read for me (from the book) on the issue of ordained shares of inheritance the following: ‘A woman dies and leaves behind her husband,’ he (the Imam) said, ‘The entire legacy belongs to him. If a man dies and leaves behind his wife, he (the Imam) said that one- fourth belongs to her and the rest belongs to the Imam.’”
2- عَنْهُ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ رِبَاطٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سُكَيْنٍ وَعَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ مُشْمَعِلٍّ وَعَنِ ابْنِ رِبَاطٍ عَنْ مُشْمَعِلٍّ كُلِّهِمْ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ قَالَ
قَرَأَ عَلَيَّ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) فِي الْفَرَائِضِ امْرَأَةٌ تُوُفِّيَتْ وَتَرَكَتْ زَوْجَهَا قَالَ الْمَالُ كُلُّهُ لِلزَّوْجِ وَرَجُلٌ تُوُفِّيَ وَتَرَكَ امْرَأَتَهُ قَالَ لِلْمَرْأَةِ الرُّبُعُ وَمَا بَقِيَ فَلِلإمَامِ.
