Al-Kafi 13353

Translation

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr and Muhammad Bin Isa Bin Ubyd, from Yunus Bin Abdul Rahman, altogether from Safwan, or he said, from Umar Bin Azina, from Muhammad Bin Muslim who said, ‘Abu Ja’far^asws made me read a book of the Obligations (legislated shares of inheritance) which was dictated by Rasool-Allah^saww, and in the handwriting of Ali^asws by his^asws own hand. So I found therein a man who left his daughter, and his mother. For the daughter is the half, three shares, and for the mother is the six of the share. The wealth would be divided upon four shares. So what comes to three shares, so it is for the daughter, and whatever comes to one share so it is for the mother’. He (the narrator) said, ‘And I read in it, a man who left his daughter and his father. So for the daughter is the half, three shares, and for the father is the sixth. The wealth is divided upon four shares. So whatever comes to three shares, so it is for the daughter, and whatever comes to one share, so it is for the mother’. Muhammad (the narrator) said, ‘And I found in it, a man who left his two parents, and a daughter. So for the daughter is the half, three shares, and for the two parents, for each one of the two, is the sixth, (one share for each of the two of them). The wealth is divided upon five shares. So whatever comes three shares, so it is for the daughter, and whatever comes to two shares, so it is for the two parents’.
