قَالَ لِي ابْنُ أَبِي الْعَوْجَاءِ مَا بَالُ الْمَرْأَةِ الْمِسْكِينَةِ الضَّعِيفَةِ تَأْخُذُ سَهْماً وَاحِداً وَ يَأْخُذُ الرَّجُلُ سَهْمَيْنِ قَالَ فَذَكَرَ بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِنَا لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) فَقَالَ إِنَّ الْمَرْأَةَ لَيْسَ عَلَيْهَا جِهَادٌ وَ لَا نَفَقَةٌ وَ لَا مَعْقُلَةٌ وَ إِنَّمَا ذَلِكَ عَلَى الرِّجَالِ وَ لِذَلِكَ جَعَلَ لِلْمَرْأَةِ سَهْماً وَاحِداً وَ لِلرَّجُلِ سَهْمَيْنِ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hammad, from Hisham, from Al Ahowl who said, ‘Ibn Abu Al-Awja said to me, ‘What is the matter that the poor woman, the weak, takes one share (of the inheritance) and the man takes two shares?’ He said, ‘So one or our companions mentioned to Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, so he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘on woman, there is neither Jihad, nor expenses, nor a stronghold (household expenses). But rather, that is upon the men, and due to that one share was made to be for the woman, and for the man, two shares’.
