We set out with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ until we came to a woman of the Ansar in al-Aswaq. The woman brought her two daughters and said, "Messenger of Allah, these are the two daughters of Thabit bin Qays, who was killed fighting alongside you at the Battle of Uhud. Their uncle has seized all of their wealth and inheritance, leaving them nothing. He took everything they had. What do you say about this, Messenger of Allah? By Allah, they will never be able to marry without any wealth of their own."The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, "Allah will decide in this matter."Then the surah of an-Nisa was revealed, "Allah instructs you concerning your children" [Nisa 4:11].The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Bring the woman and her companion to me." He said to their uncle, "Give the two daughters two-thirds, give their mother one-eighth, and what remains is yours."
حدثنا مسدد حدثنا بشر بن المفضل حدثنا عبد الله بن محمد بن عقيل
خرجنا مع رسول الله ﷺ حتى جئنا امرأة من الأنصار في الأسواق فجاءت المرأة بابنتين لها فقالت يا رسول الله هاتان بنتا ثابت بن قيس قتل معك يوم أحد وقد استفاء عمهما مالهما وميراثهما كله فلم يدع لهما مالا إلا أخذه فما ترى يا رسول الله فوالله لا تنكحان أبدا إلا ولهما مال فقال رسول الله ﷺ يقضي الله في ذلك قال ونزلت سورة النساء {يوصيكم الله في أولادكم} الآية فقال رسول الله ﷺ ادعوا لي المرأة وصاحبها فقال لعمهما أعطهما الثلثين وأعط أمهما الثمن وما بقي فلك
[Its chain is daif] Tirmidhi recorded it in the Book of Inheritance, Chapter on What Has Been Said Regarding the Inheritance of Daughters, hadith 2092, and Ibn Majah, hadith 2720, from the hadith of Ibn Aqeel with this wording. Tirmidhi said, "hasan sahih." Hakim graded it sahih, 4/333, 334, and Dhahabi agreed with him. Ibn Aqeel is daif, as noted previously at 126.
