Al-Kafi 13226

Translation

A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad who said, ‘I wrote to Abu Muhammad^asws, ‘A man had two sons for him, so one of them died having (left behind) a boy and a girl. So their grandfather bequeathed to them with the portion of their father. So in this portion, the male and the female are equal in it, or for the male would be similar to two females?’ So he^asws signed: ‘The bequest of their grandfather would be enforced just as he had ordered, Allah^azwj Willing’. He (the narrator) said, ‘And I wrote to him^asws, ‘A man who had children, male and female, so he agreed for then with a place that it is for his children, and did not mention that it is (to be divided) between them with the share (Prescribed by) Allah^azwj Mighty and Majestic, and His^azwj Obligation. The male and the female are equal in it?’ So he^asws signed: ‘The bequest of their father would be enforced upon what he has named. So if he had not mentioned anything, so refer it to the Book of Allah^azwj Mighty and Majestic, and the Sunnah of His^azwj Prophet^saww, Allah^azwj Willing’.
