قُلْتُ لِزُرَارَةَ إِنَّ بُكَيْراً حَدَّثَنِي عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) أَنَّ الْإِخْوَةَ لِلْأَبِ وَ الْأَخَوَاتِ لِلْأَبِ وَ الْأُمِّ يُزَادُونَ وَ يُنْقَصُونَ لِأَنَّهُنَّ لَا يَكُنَّ أَكْثَرَ نَصِيباً مِنَ الْإِخْوَةِ وَ الْأَخَوَاتِ لِلْأَبِ وَ الْأُمِّ لَوْ كَانُوا مَكَانَهُنَّ لِأَنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَقُولُ إِنِ امْرُؤٌ هَلَكَ لَيْسَ لَهُ وَلَدٌ وَ لَهُ أُخْتٌ فَلَها نِصْفُ ما تَرَكَ وَ هُوَ يَرِثُها إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَها وَلَدٌ يَقُولُ يَرِثُ جَمِيعَ مَالِهَا إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهَا وَلَدٌ فَأَعْطَوْا مَنْ سَمَّى اللَّهُ لَهُ النِّصْفَ كَمَلًا وَ عَمَدُوا فَأَعْطَوُا الَّذِي سَمَّى اللَّهُ لَهُ الْمَالَ كُلَّهُ أَقَلَّ مِنَ النِّصْفِ وَ الْمَرْأَةُ لَا تَكُونُ أَبَداً أَكْثَرَ نَصِيباً مِنْ رَجُلٍ لَوْ كَانَ مَكَانَهَا قَالَ فَقَالَ زُرَارَةُ وَ هَذَا قَائِمٌ عِنْدَ أَصْحَابِنَا لَا يَخْتَلِفُونَ فِيهِ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Hassan Bin Ali, from Abdullah Bin Al Mugheira, from Musa Bin Bakr who said, ‘I said to Zurara that Bukeyr narrated to me, from Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> that the brothers of the father, and the sister of the fathers and the mother would be increased and decreased because these would not be more shares that the brother and the sisters of the father and the mother, even though they had been in their places, because Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic is Saying that a person dies and there is no child for him, and for him is a sister, so for her is a halve of what is left, and he would be inheriting her, if there does not happen to be a child for her, Saying that he would be inheriting the entirety of her wealth, if there does not happen to be a child for her. But they are giving to the one whom Allah<sup>azwj</sup> has Named the half for him, the whole, and resorting to giving to the one for whom Allah<sup>azwj</sup> has Named to be the whole of the wealth, less than the half. And the woman would never ever be with a share more than the man, even though she may be in his place’. He (the narrator) said, ‘So Zurara said, ‘And this is established in the presence of our companions, who are not differing with regards to it’.
