Al-Kafi 13378

Translation

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Umar Bin Azina, from Zurara and Bukeyr and Al Fazl and Muhammad and Bureyd, (It has been narrated) from one of the two (5^th or 6^th Imam^asws) having said: ‘The grandfather is with the brothers from the father, becoming like one from the brothers, whatever (number) they reach’. He (the narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘A man left his brother from this father and his mother, and his grandfather’, or I said, ‘Left his grandfather, and his brother from this father and his mother’. He^asws said: ‘The wealth is (divided) between them, even if there were two brothers or a hundred thousand, so for his would be like the share of one of the brothers’. He (the narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘A man left his grandfather and his sister’. So he^asws said: ‘For the male is like the portion of two females, and even if there were two sisters, so the half would be for the grandfather, and the other half for the two sisters, even if they were to be more than that. Thus, it is upon this calculation, if he were to leave brothers and sisters from the father and mother, or from the father, and a grandfather, so, for the grandfather is one (with the) brothers. So the wealth is (divided) between them, for the male being the like of the portion of the two females’.
