2101. Qabiṣah bin Dhu'waib said: "A grandmother came to Abū Bakr to ask him about her inheritance. He said to her, 'There is nothing for you in the Book of Allāh and there is nothing for you in the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ. So, return until I ask the people. So he asked the people and Al-Mughīrah bin Shu'bah said: 'I was present when the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ gave her (case) a sixth.' So he said: 'Was anyone else with you?' Muḥammad bin Salamah stood to say the same as what Al-Mughīrah bin Shu'bah said. So Abū Bakr implemented that for her." He said: "Then the other grandmother came to 'Umar bin Al-Khaṭṭāb to ask him about her inheritance. He said: 'There is nothing in the Book of Allāh for you, but there is that sixth. So if the two of you are together then it is for both of you, and whichever one of you remains, then it is for her.'" (Ṣaḥīḥ) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Ḥadīth is Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ, and it is more authentic than the (previous) narration of Ibn 'Uyainah. There is a narration on this topic from Buraidah.

٢١٠١ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌الْأَنْصَارِيُّ : قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌مَعْنٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌مَالِكٌ ، عَنِ ‌ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ ‌عُثْمَانَ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ خَرَشَةَ ، عَنْ ‌قَبِيصَةَ بْنِ ذُؤَيْبٍ قَالَ: «جَاءَتِ الْجَدَّةُ إِلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ» تَسْأَلُهُ مِيرَاثَهَا، قَالَ: فَقَالَ لَهَا: مَا لَكِ فِي كِتَابِ اللهِ شَيْءٌ، وَمَا لَكِ فِي سُنَّةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ شَيْءٌ، فَارْجِعِي حَتَّى أَسْأَلَ النَّاسَ، فَسَأَلَ النَّاسَ، فَقَالَ ‌الْمُغِيرَةُ بْنُ شُعْبَةَ : حَضَرْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَعْطَاهَا السُّدُسَ، فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: هَلْ مَعَكَ غَيْرُكَ؟ فَقَامَ ‌مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ فَقَالَ مِثْلَ مَا قَالَ الْمُغِيرَةُ بْنُ شُعْبَةَ، فَأَنْفَذَهُ لَهَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ. قَالَ: ثُمَّ جَاءَتِ الْجَدَّةُ الْأُخْرَى إِلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ تَسْأَلُهُ مِيرَاثَهَا، فَقَالَ: مَا لَكِ فِي كِتَابِ اللهِ شَيْءٌ، وَلَكِنْ هُوَ ذَاكَ السُّدُسُ، فَإِنِ اجْتَمَعْتُمَا فِيهِ فَهُوَ بَيْنَكُمَا، وَأَيَّتُكُمَا خَلَتْ بِهِ فَهُوَ لَهَا. وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ بُرَيْدَةَ. وَهَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ، وَهُوَ أَصَحُّ مِنْ حَدِيثِ ابْنِ عُيَيْنَةَ.
