Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ أَبِي قَيْسٍ عَنِ الْهُزَيْلِ بْنِ شُرَحْبِيلٍ قَالَ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى أَبِي مُوسَى وَسُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ فَسَأَلَهُمَا عَنْ ابْنَةٍ وَابْنَةِ ابْنٍ وَأُخْتٍ لِأَبٍ فَقَالَا لِلْب
ِنْتِ النِّصْفُ وَلِلْأُخْتِ النِّصْفُ وَأْتِ ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ فَإِنَّهُ سَيُتَابِعُنَا قَالَ فَأَتَى ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ فَسَأَلَهُ وَأَخْبَرَهُ بِمَا قَالَا فَقَالَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ لَقَدْ ضَلَلْتُ إِذًا وَمَا أَنَا مِنْ الْمُهْتَدِينَ سَأَقْضِي بِمَا قَضَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِلِابْنَةِ النِّصْفُ وَلِابْنَةِ الِابْنِ السُّدُسُ تَكْمِلَةَ الثُّلُثَيْنِ وَمَا بَقِيَ فَلِلْأُخْتِ

English Translation
It was narrated from 'Abdullah ibn Mas'ud (رضي الله عنه) — via Waki', from Sufyan, from Abi Qays, from al-Huzayl ibn Shurahbil — that he said: 'A man came to Abu Musa and Sulayman ibn Rabi'a and asked them about [the inheritance of] a daughter, a granddaughter [son's daughter], and a paternal half-sister. They said: The daughter receives a half, the sister receives a half — and go to Ibn Mas'ud, for he will agree with us. He came to Ibn Mas'ud, asked him, and informed him of what they had said. Ibn Mas'ud said: If I said that, I would have gone astray and am not among the rightly-guided. I will judge as the Messenger of Allah ﷺ judged: For the daughter, a half; for the son's daughter, a sixth — completing the two-thirds; and whatever remains belongs to the sister.'
