سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ شَيْءٍ مِنَ الْفَرَائِضِ فَقَالَ لِي أَ لَا أُخْرِجُ لَكَ كِتَابَ عَلِيٍّ ( عليه السلام ) فَقُلْتُ كِتَابُ عَلِيٍّ ( عليه السلام ) لَمْ يُدْرَسْ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ إِنَّ كِتَابَ عَلِيٍّ ( عليه السلام ) لَمْ يُدْرَسْ فَأَخْرَجَهُ فَإِذَا كِتَابٌ جَلِيلٌ وَ إِذَا فِيهِ رَجُلٌ مَاتَ وَ تَرَكَ عَمَّهُ وَ خَالَهُ قَالَ لِلْعَمِّ الثُّلُثَانِ وَ لِلْخَالِ الثُّلُثُ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad and Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad and Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father and Humeyd Bin Ziyad, from Al Hassan Bin Muhammad, all of them from Al Hassan Bin Mahboub, from Ali Bin Raib, from Abu Baseer who said, ‘I asked Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> about something from the Obligations (legislated shares of inheritance), so he<sup>asws</sup> said to me: ‘Shall I<sup>asws</sup> bring out for you a Book of Ali<sup>asws</sup>?’ So I<sup>asws</sup> said, ‘The Book of Ali<sup>asws</sup> is not studied’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘O Abu Muhammad! The Book of Ali<sup>asws</sup> is not studied?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> brought it out, and it was a splendid Book, and therein was, a man who died and left his paternal uncle and his maternal uncle. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘For the paternal uncle is two-thirds and for the maternal uncle is the one-third’.
