2093. Huzail bin Shurahbīl said: "A man came to Abū Musa and Salmān bin Rabī'ah and asked them about a daughter, a son's daughter, a father's sister and a mother's sister. So they said: 'For the daughter is half, for the sister of the father and the mother is what remains.' And they said to him: 'Go to 'Abdullāh (bin Mas'ūd) and ask him, for surely he will concur with us.' So he went to 'Abdullāh mentioning that to him and informing him what they had said. 'Abdullāh said: 'If that were the case, then I would have erred and not been among the rightly-guided (on the matter). Rather, I will judge with what the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ judged: For the daughter is half, for the son's daughter a sixth, totaling two thirds, and for the sister is what remains.'" (Sahih)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Ḥadīth is Ḥasan Sahih, and Abū Qais Al-Awdī's (a narrator) name is 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin Tharwān Al-Kūfī.
Shu'bah also reported it from Abū Qais.

Commentary
If the deceased person has left behind a single daughter plus one daughter or more from the son, unquestionably the daughter would get half of the
inherited wealth since Allāh himself has decreed one half for the single daughter (An-Nisā', 4:11). In case there is one daughter or more from the son then, in order to make good the share of the daughters, one-sixth of the inherited wealth shall go to her (or them).
