Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father and Muhammad Bin Ismail, from Al Fazl Bin Shazaan, altogether from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Jameel Bin Darraj, from Zakariyya Bin Yahya, from Al Shairi, from Al Hakam Bin Uteyba who said, ‘We were at the door of Abu Ja’far^asws, and we were a group awaing him^asws that he^asws comes out, when a woman came over. So she said, ‘Which one of you is Abu Ja’far^asws?’ So the group said to her, ‘What do you want from him^asws?’ She said, ‘I want to ask him^asws a question’. So they said to her, ‘This here is a jurist of the people of Al-Iraq, so ask him (instead)’. She said, ‘My husband died and left a thousand Dirhams, and there is still outstanding upon him, for me, my dower of five hundred Dirhams. So I took my dower and I took my inheritance. Then a man came over, so he claimed a thousand Dirhams against him. So I testified for him (that such is the case)’. So Al-Hakam said, ‘So while I was calculating what is for her, when Abu Ja’far^asws came out, so he^asws said: ‘What is this which I^asws see you moving your fingers, O Hakam?’ So I informed him^asws with the words of the woman, and what she asked about?’ So Abu Ja’far^asws said: ‘She acceptes with a third of what is in her hands, and there is no inheritance for her’. Al-Hakam said, ‘By Allah^azwj! I have never seen anyone of more understanding that Abu Ja’far^asws’.
