Al-Kafi 13356

Translation

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr and Muhammad Bin Isa, from Yunus Bin Abdul Rahman, altogether from Umar Bin Azina who said, ‘I said to Zurara, ‘I heard Muhammad Bin Muslim and Bukeyr both narrating form Abu Ja’far^asws regarding a husband and two parents and a daughter. So for the husband would be a quarter, three shares from twelve, and for the two parents would be a sixth (each coming to), four shares from twelve, and the remaining five shares, so it is for the daughter, because had she been a male she would not have other than five shares from twelve; and if there were two females, so for the both of them would be five shares from twelve, because they both, had they been two males, would not have had other than what remains, five shares from twelve’. Zurara said, ‘This is the truth, when you want to receive the deficiency, so make the Obligations (legislated shares) with no deficiencies. But rather, the deficiency is upon the one for whom is the excess – from the son, and the sisters from the father, and the mother. So, as for the husband and the brothers of the mother, so they would not be reduced from what Allah^azwj has Named something for them’.
