English Translation
Abu Sa'id ibn Abi Amr informed us: Abu Abdullah ibn Ya'qub narrated to us: Muhammad ibn Nasr narrated to us. And Abu Bakr Muhammad ibn Ibrahim al-Farisi informed us: Isma'il ibn Ahmad al-Khallali informed us: Abu Ya'la narrated to us. Both narrated from Muhammad ibn Bakkar: Abd al-Rahman ibn Abdullah ibn Dhakwan narrated from his father from Kharijah ibn Zayd ibn Thabit from his father: The meanings of these laws of inheritance and their principles are all from Zayd ibn Thabit, while the commentary is the interpretation of Abu al-Zinad based on the meanings of Zayd. He said: The husband inherits from his wife one-half if she left no child or grandchild. If she left a child or grandchild, male or female, her husband inherits one-quarter, and nothing less. The wife inherits from her husband one-quarter if he left no child or grandchild. If he left a child or grandchild, his wife inherits one-eighth.
