Abu Musa was asked about the inheritance of 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 surely agree with me."Ibn Masud was then asked, and he was informed of Abu Musa's ruling. He said, "I would have gone astray then, and would not be among the rightly guided. I will judge in this matter as the Prophet ﷺ judged. The daughter receives half, the son's daughter receives a sixth to complete two-thirds, and what remains goes to the sister."We then went to Abu Musa and told him what Ibn Masud had said. He replied, "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، وأت 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.
Bukhari narrated it in the Book of Inheritance (6736), from Adam, who said, Shuba narrated to us, who said, Abu Qays narrated to us, who said, I heard Huzayll bin Shurahbil say, and then he mentioned it.Hakim erred, citing it as an addition (4/334) through the routes of Abu Qays, except that he mentioned alongside Abu Musa, Sulayman bin Rabia, and said, "Sahih according to the criterion of the two Shaykhs, though they did not include it."
