2099. 'Imrān bin Ḥuṣain narrated: "A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: 'My son[1] died, so what do I inherit from him?' He said: 'For you is a sixth.' When he turned to leave, he called him and said: 'For you is another sixth.' So when he turned to leave, he called him, saying: 'The last sixth is consumable for you.'"[1] (Ḍa'if) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ. There is something on this topic from Ma'qīl bin Yasār.
٢٠٩٩ - حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَرَفَةَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ ، عَنْ هَمَّامِ بْنِ يَحْيَى، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ ، عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ قَالَ: «جَاءَ رَجُلٌ» إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: إِنَّ ابْنِي مَاتَ فَمَا لِي مِنْ مِيرَاثِهِ؟ قَالَ: لَكَ السُّدُسُ. فَلَمَّا وَلَّى دَعَاهُ فَقَالَ: لَكَ سُدُسٌ آخَرُ، فَلَمَّا وَلَّى دَعَاهُ قَالَ: إِنَّ السُّدُسَ الْآخَرَ طُعْمَةٌ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ. وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ مَعْقِلِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ.

[1] See the following note.
The fact of the matter in this case was that a certain person died leaving behind just two daughters and no sons. These daughters were, therefore, entitled to inherit two thirds of their father's wealth. One third share of the wealth still remained. The deceased person's father (grandfather to the daughters), therefore, inherited one-sixth of the wealth as recipient of the prescribed share, and another one-sixth as 'sustenance' from Allāh in his capacity as ʿAṣabah (a term defined above).
