Hadith.5604 - Abu Abdullah Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) said: "The shares of inheritance were set at six portions and do not exceed that because the human being was created from six elements, as stated in the words of Allah (swt), the Majestic: 'And indeed, We created man from an extract of clay.' (Surah Al-Mu'minun 23:12). Another reason is that the
inheritors who always inherit and are never excluded are six: the two parents, the son, the daughter, the husband, and the wife."
5604 - وَ قَالَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : "إِنَّمَا صَارَتْ سِهَامُ اَلْمَوَارِيثِ مِنْ سِتَّةِ أَسْهُمٍ لاَ يَزِيدُ عَلَيْهَا لِأَنَّ اَلْإِنْسَانَ خُلِقَ مِنْ سِتَّةِ أَشْيَاءَ وَ هُوَ قَوْلُ اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ ۝ وَ لَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا اَلْإِنْسٰانَ مِنْ سُلاٰلَةٍ مِنْ طِينٍ ۝ اَلْآيَةَ. وَ عِلَّةٌ أُخْرَى‌ وَ هِيَ أَنَّ أَهْلَ الْمَوَارِيثِ الَّذِينَ يَرِثُونَ أَبَداً وَ لَا يُسْقَطُونَ سِتَّةٌ الْأَبَوَانِ وَ الِابْنُ وَ الْبِنْتُ وَ الزَّوْجُ وَ الزَّوْجَةُ.
