Abu Musa was asked about a case involving a daughter, a son's daughter, and a sister. He said, "The daughter receives half, and the sister receives half. Go to Ibn Masud, for he will agree with me."Ibn Masud was then asked, and he was informed of Abu Musa's ruling. He said, "I would indeed have gone astray and would not be among the rightly guided if I ruled that way. I will judge in this matter as the Prophet ﷺ judged. The daughter gets half, the son's daughter gets a sixth to complete the two-thirds, and whatever remains goes to the sister."We then went to Abu Musa and told him what Ibn Masud had said. He said, "Do not ask me anything as long as this learned scholar is among you."
سئل أبو موسى عن ابنة وابنة ابن، وأخت. فقال: للابنة النصف وللأخت النصف. وائت ابن مسعود فسيتابعني. فسئل ابن مسعود، وأخبر بقول أبي موسى. فقال: لقد ضللت إذا، وما أنا من المهتدين. أقضي فيها بما قضى النبي ﷺ: للابنة النصف، ولابنة الابن السدس تكملة الثلثين، وما بقي فللأخت. فأتينا أبا موسى، فأخبرناه بقول ابن مسعود، فقال: لا تسألوني ما دام هذا الحبر فيكم.
