4578. Narrated Ibn 'Abbās رضي الله عنهما: (In the pre-Islāmic period) the children used to inherit all the property but the parents used to inherit only through a will. So, Allāh cancelled that which He liked to cancel and decreed that the share of a son was to be twice the share of a daughter, and for the parents one-sixth for each one of them(1) or one-third(2) for each one, and for the wife one-eighth(1) or one-fourth(2), and for the husband one half(1), or one-fourth(1).
4578 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، عَنْ وَرْقَاءَ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَجِيحٍ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا، قَالَ: " كَانَ المَالُ لِلْوَلَدِ، وَكَانَتِ الوَصِيَّةُ لِلْوَالِدَيْنِ، فَنَسَخَ اللَّهُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ مَا أَحَبَّ، فَجَعَلَ: لِلذَّكَرِ مِثْلَ حَظِّ الأُنْثَيَيْنِ، وَجَعَلَ لِلْأَبَوَيْنِ لِكُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا السُّدُسَ، وَالثُّلُثَ، وَجَعَلَ لِلْمَرْأَةِ الثُّمُنَ وَالرُّبُعَ، وَللزَّوْجِ الشَّطْرَ وَالرُّبُعَ "
