قَالَ لِي أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) يَا زُرَارَةُ مَا تَقُولُ فِي رَجُلٍ تَرَكَ أَبَوَيْهِ وَ إِخْوَتَهُ مِنْ أُمِّهِ قَالَ قُلْتُ السُّدُسُ لِأُمِّهِ وَ مَا بَقِيَ فَلِلْأَبِ فَقَالَ مِنْ أَيْنَ قُلْتَ هَذَا قُلْتُ سَمِعْتُ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَقُولُ فِي كِتَابِهِ فَإِنْ كانَ لَهُ إِخْوَةٌ فَلِأُمِّهِ السُّدُسُ فَقَالَ وَيْحَكَ يَا زُرَارَةُ أُولَئِكَ الْإِخْوَةُ مِنَ الْأَبِ فَإِذَا كَانَ الْإِخْوَةُ مِنَ الْأُمِّ لَمْ يَحْجُبُوا الْأُمَّ عَنِ الثُّلُثِ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Al Husayn Bin Saeed, from Abdullah Bin Bahr, from Hareyz, from Zurara who said, ‘Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> said to me: ‘O Zurara! What are you saying regarding a man who leaves his two parents, and his brothers of his mother?’ I said, ‘A sixth for his mother and whatever remains, so it is for the father’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘From where did you say this?’ I said, ‘I heard Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic Saying in His<sup>azwj</sup> Book <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:4#h11"><a href="/books/quran:4#h11">[4:11]</a></a> but if he has brothers, then his mother shall have the sixth</span>’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘O Zurara! Those are the brothers of the father. So if there were brothers of the father, they would not be barring the mother from the third’.
