حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، حَدَّثَنَا الزُّهْرِيُّ، قَالَ مَرَّةً:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ قَبِيصَةُ، وقَالَ مَرَّةً:‏‏‏‏ رَجُلٌ، عَنْ قَبِيصَةَ بْنِ ذُؤَيْبٍ، قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ جَاءَتِ الْجَدَّةُ أُمُّ الْأُمِّ وَأُمُّ الْأَبِ إِلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَتْ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّ ابْنَ ابْنِي أَوِ ابْنَ بِنْتِي مَاتَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَقَدْ أُخْبِرْتُ أَنّ لِي فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ حَقًّا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ:‏‏‏‏ مَا أَجِدُ لَكِ فِي الْكِتَابِ مِنْ حَقٍّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَمَا سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَضَى لَكِ بِشَيْءٍ وَسَأَسْأَلُ النَّاسَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَسَأَلَ النَّاسَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَشَهِدَ الْمُغِيرَةُ بْنُ شُعْبَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَعْطَاهَا السُّدُسَ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ وَمَنْ سَمِعَ ذَلِكَ مَعَكَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ، قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَأَعْطَاهَا السُّدُسَ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ جَاءَتِ الْجَدَّةُ الْأُخْرَى الَّتِي تُخَالِفُهَا إِلَى عُمَرَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ سُفْيَانُ:‏‏‏‏ وَزَادَنِي فِيهِ مَعْمَرٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَلَمْ أَحْفَظْهُ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَلَكِنْ حَفِظْتُهُ مِنْ مَعْمَرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّ عُمَرَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ إِنِ اجْتَمَعْتُمَا فَهُوَ لَكُمَا وَأَيَّتُكُمَا انْفَرَدَتْ بِهِ فَهُوَ لَهَا.

Qabisah bin Dhuw'aib said: A grandmother - the mother of a mother, or the mother of a father - came to Abu Bakr and she said: 'a son of my son' - or, 'a son of my daughter died, and I have been informed that there is a right ( from the wealth) for me in the Book.' So Abu Bakr said: 'I do not find that there is a right for you in the Book, and I haven't heard that the Messenger of Allah(S.A.W) judged anything for you. I shall ask the people.' So, Al-Mughirah bin Shu'bah testified that the Messenger of Allah(S.A.W) gave her (case) a sixth. He said: 'And who heard that along with you?' He said: 'Muhammad bin Maslamah. He said: So he gave her a sixth. Then the other grandmother who was left behind came to 'Umar. Sufyan said: And Ma'mar said to me in addition, from Az-Zuhri - and I do not remember it to be from A-Zuhri, rather I remember it to be from Ma'mar - that 'Umar said: 'If the two of you are together then it is for both of you, and whichever of you is alone with it (the sixth), then it is for her.'
