Hadith.5603 - Al-Faḍl narrated that Abdullah ibn Al-Walid Al-Adani, the companion of Sufyan, reported from Abu Al-Qasim Al-Kufi, the companion of Abu Yusuf, who narrated from Abu Yusuf, who said: Layth ibn Abi Sulaym narrated from Abu Amr Al-Abdi, from Ibn Sulayman, from Imam Ali ibn Abi Ṭalib (as), who used to say
"The shares of inheritance are from six portions: two-thirds is four portions, half is three portions, one-third is two portions, one-fourth is one and a half portions, and one-eighth is three-fourths of a portion. No one inherits alongside the children except the parents, the husband, and the wife. The mother is not prevented from receiving one-third except by the presence of children or siblings. The husband's share does not exceed half, nor is it reduced from one-fourth. The wife's share does not exceed one-fourth, nor is it reduced from one-eighth. If there are four wives or fewer, they share equally. Siblings from the mother do not inherit more than one-third and are not given less than one-sixth, and in this, males and females are equal. They are not prevented from receiving one-third except by the presence of children or the father. Blood money (diyyah for accidental death) is distributed among those who inherit the estate."
5603 - قَالَ اَلْفَضْلُ وَ رَوَى عَبْدُ اَللَّهِ بْنُ اَلْوَلِيدِ اَلْعَدَنِيُّ صَاحِبُ سُفْيَانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو اَلْقَاسِمِ اَلْكُوفِيُّ صَاحِبُ أَبِي يُوسُفَ عَنْ أَبِي يُوسُفَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثُ بْنُ أَبِي سُلَيْمٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَمْرٍو اَلْعَبْدِيِّ عَنِ اِبْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَنَّهُ
كَانَ يَقُولُ : "اَلْفَرَائِضُ مِنْ سِتَّةِ أَسْهُمٍ اَلثُّلُثَانِ أَرْبَعَةُ أَسْهُمٍ وَ اَلنِّصْفُ ثَلاَثَةُ أَسْهُمٍ وَ اَلثُّلُثُ سَهْمَانِ وَ اَلرُّبُعُ سَهْمٌ وَ نِصْفٌ وَ اَلثُّمُنُ ثَلاَثَةُ أَرْبَاعِ سَهْمٍ وَ لاَ يَرِثُ مَعَ اَلْوَلَدِ إِلاَّ اَلْأَبَوَانِ وَ اَلزَّوْجُ وَ اَلْمَرْأَةُ وَ لاَ يَحْجُبُ اَلْأُمَّ عَنِ اَلثُّلُثِ إِلاَّ اَلْوَلَدُ وَ اَلْإِخْوَةُ وَ لاَ يُزَادُ اَلزَّوْجُ عَلَى اَلنِّصْفِ وَ لاَ يُنْقَصُ مِنَ اَلرُّبُعِ وَ لاَ تُزَادُ اَلْمَرْأَةُ عَلَى اَلرُّبُعِ وَ لاَ تُنْقَصُ مِنَ اَلثُّمُنِ وَ إِنْ كُنَّ أَرْبَعاً أَوْ دُونَ ذَلِكَ فَهُنَّ فِيهِ سَوَاءٌ وَ لاَ يُزَادُ اَلْإِخْوَةُ مِنَ اَلْأُمِّ عَلَى اَلثُّلُثِ وَ لاَ يُنْقَصُونَ مِنَ اَلسُّدُسِ وَ هُمْ فِيهِ سَوَاءٌ اَلذَّكَرُ وَ اَلْأُنْثَى وَ لاَ يَحْجُبُهُمْ عَنِ اَلثُّلُثِ إِلاَّ اَلْوَلَدُ وَ اَلْوَالِدُ وَ اَلدِّيَةُ تُقْسَمُ عَلَى مَنْ أَحْرَزَ اَلْمِيرَاثَ ".
