سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ رَجُلٍ تَرَكَ أَخَاهُ لِأَبِيهِ وَ أُمِّهِ وَ جَدَّهُ قَالَ الْمَالُ بَيْنَهُمَا نِصْفَانِ وَ لَوْ كَانَا أَخَوَيْنِ أَوْ مِائَةً كَانَ الْجَدُّ مَعَهُمْ كَوَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ لِلْجَدِّ مَا يُصِيبُ وَاحِداً مِنَ الْإِخْوَةِ قَالَ وَ إِنْ تَرَكَ أُخْتَهُ فَلِلْجَدِّ سَهْمَانِ وَ لِلْأُخْتِ سَهْمٌ وَ إِنْ كَانَتَا أُخْتَيْنِ فَلِلْجَدِّ النِّصْفُ وَ لِلْأُخْتَيْنِ النِّصْفُ قَالَ وَ إِنْ تَرَكَ إِخْوَةً وَ أَخَوَاتٍ مِنْ أَبٍ وَ أُمٍّ كَانَ الْجَدُّ كَوَاحِدٍ مِنَ الْإِخْوَةِ لِلذَّكَرِ مِثْلُ حَظِّ الْأُنْثَيَيْنِ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad and Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, altogether from Ibn Mahboub, from Ali Bin Raib, from Zurara who said, ‘I asked Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> about a man who left his brother from his father and his mother, and his grandfather. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘The wealth is between the two of them, two halves, and had there been two brothers, or a hundred, the grandfather would be with them like one of them, whatever is attained by one of the brothers’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘And if he had left his sister, so for the grandfather would be two shares, and for the sister would be a share; and if there were two sisters, so for the grandfather is the half, and for the two sisters would be the half’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘And if he left brothers and sisters from a father and a mother, the grandfather would be like one of the brothers – for the males being the like of the portion of two females’.
