Chapter 19 · Shares of Inheritance (Kitab Al-Fara'id)مَنْ كَانَ لَيْسَ لَهُ وَلَدٌ وَلَهُ أَخَوَاتٌ
حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا كَثِيرُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ يَعْنِي الدَّسْتُوَائِيَّ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، قَالَ: اشْتَكَيْتُ وَعِنْدِي سَبْعُ أَخَوَاتٍ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَنَفَخَ فِي وَجْهِي فَأَفَقْتُ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَلَا أُوصِي لِأَخَوَاتِي بِالثُّلُثِ، قَالَ: أَحْسِنْ، قُلْتُ الشَّطْرَ، قَالَ: أَحْسِنْ، ثُمَّ خَرَجَ وَتَرَكَنِي فَقَالَ: يَا جَابِرُ لَا أُرَاكَ مَيِّتًا مِنْ وَجَعِكَ هَذَا، وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ أَنْزَلَ فَبَيَّنَ الَّذِي لِأَخَوَاتِكَ فَجَعَلَ لَهُنَّ الثُّلُثَيْنِ، قَالَ: فَكَانَ جَابِرٌ يَقُولُ: أُنْزِلَتْ هَذِهِ الآيَةُ فِيَّ{ يَسْتَفْتُونَكَ قُلِ اللَّهُ يُفْتِيكُمْ فِي الْكَلالَةِ}[ سورة النساء آية 176].

A Person Who Has No Son But He Has Sisters
I fell ill, and I had seven sisters. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم came to me and blew on my face. So I became conscious. I said: Messenger of Allah, may I not bequeath one-third of my property to my sisters? He replied: Do good. I asked: Half? He replied: Do good. He then went out and left me, and said: I do not think, Jabir, you will die of this disease. Allah has revealed (verses) and described the share of your sisters. He appointed two-thirds for them. Jabir used to say: This verse was revealed about me: They ask thee for a legal decision. Say: Allah directs (thus) about those who leave no descendants or ascendants as heirs.
