During the lifetime of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, while he was in good health, he had gathered the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and adjured them by Allah whether anyone had heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say anything about the grandfather's share of inheritance.Maqil bin Yasar stood up and said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when a case of inheritance was brought to him involving a grandfather, and he granted him either a third or a sixth."He asked, "What was the case?"Maqil replied, "I do not know."He said, "What prevented you from knowing?"
