2096. Jābir bin ‘Abdullāh said: “The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ came to visit me while I was ill at Banū Salamah. I said: ‘O Prophet of Allāh! How shall I divide my wealth among my children?’ But he did not say anything to me, until the following was revealed: Allāh commands you regarding your children’s (inheritance): To the male, a portion equal to that of two females.”[1] (Sahīh)
[Abū ‘Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Sahīh. [Shu‘bah and] Ibn ‘Uyainah and others reported it from Muḥammad bin Al-Munkadīr, from Jābir, may Allāh be pleased with him.

Commentary
We learn from the Hadīth contained in the next chapter as well as from the unanimous Aḥādīth reported in both Al-Bukhārī and Muslim, Jābir ؓ was a Kalālah (having neither ascendants nor descendants). As such the term Walad (children) attributed to him in the Hadīth is used for his under-age sisters.
