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 agree with me."Ibn Masud was then asked and 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 whatever remains goes to the sister."We came 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."
حدثنا آدم حدثنا شعبة حدثنا أبو قيس سمعت
سئل أبو موسى عن بنت وابنة ابن وأخت فقال للبنت 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 ابن السدس تكملة الثلثين وما بقي فللأخت فأتينا أبا موسى فأخبرناه بقول ابن مسعود فقال لا تسألوني ما دام هذا الحبر فيكم
