حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى عَنْ أَبِي قَيْسٍ عَنْ هُزَيْلِ بْنِ شُرَحْبِيلَ أَنَّ الْأَشْعَرِيَّ أُتِيَ فِي ابْنَةٍ وَابْنَةِ ابْنٍ وَأُخْتٍ لِأَبٍ وَأُمٍّ قَالَ فَجَعَلَ لِلِابْنَةِ النِّصْفَ وَلِلْأُخْتِ مَا بَقِيَ وَلَمْ يَجْعَلْ لِابْنَةِ الِابْنِ شَيْئًا قَالَ فَأَتَوْا
ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ فَأَخْبَرُوهُ قَالَ فَقَالَ لَقَدْ ضَلَلْتُ إِذَنْ وَمَا أَنَا مِنْ الْمُهْتَدِينَ إِنْ أَخَذْتُ بِقَوْلِهِ وَتَرَكْتُ قَوْلَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ ثُمَّ قَالَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ لِلِابْنَةِ النِّصْفُ وَلِابْنَةِ الِابْنِ السُّدُسُ وَمَا بَقِيَ لِلْأُخْتِ

English Translation
It was narrated from Ibn Mas'ud (رضي الله عنه) — via Hushaym, from Ibn Abi Layla, from Abi Qays, from Huzayl ibn Shura hill — that al-Ash'ari [Abu Musa] was asked about [the inheritance of] a daughter, a granddaughter [son's daughter], and a full sister. He gave the daughter a half, the full sister the remainder, and gave nothing to the granddaughter. They came to Ibn Mas'ud and told him. He said: 'I would indeed be astray and not among the guided if I took his opinion and left the saying of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.' Then Ibn Mas'ud said: 'The daughter gets a half, the granddaughter a sixth [completing the two-thirds share], and the sister gets the remainder.'
