Hadith 513
۞
Hadith.5484 - Sahl bin Ziyad Al-Adami wrote to Abu Muhammad (as) about a man who had sons and daughters and acknowledged that a piece of land belonged to his children without specifying, whether it should be divided according to Allah's (swt) shares and obligations, where the male receives double the share of the female.
Abu Muhammad (as) responded: "They should execute their father's will as he specified. If he did not specify anything, then it should be divided according to the Book of Allah (swt), the Exalted, if Allah (swt) wills."
5484 - وَ كَتَبَ سَهْلُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ اَلْأَدَمِيُّ إِلَى أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : رَجُلٌ لَهُ وُلْدٌ ذُكُورٌ وَ إِنَاثٌ فَأَقَرَّ بِضَيْعَةٍ أَنَّهَا لِوُلْدِهِ وَ لَمْ يَذْكُرْ أَنَّهَا بَيْنَهُمْ عَلَى سِهَامِ اَللَّهِ وَ فَرَائِضِهِ اَلذَّكَرُ وَ اَلْأُنْثَى فِيهِ سَوَاءٌ فَوَقَّعَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ "يُنْفِذُونَ وَصِيَّةَ أَبِيهِمْ عَلَى مَا سَمَّى فَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ سَمَّى شَيْئاً رَدُّوهَا عَلَى كِتَابِ اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِنْ شَاءَ اَللَّهُ".
