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 al-Farisi informed us: Isma'il al-Khallali informed us: Abu Ya'la narrated to us. Both narrated from Muhammad ibn Bakkar: Abd al-Rahman ibn Abi al-Zinad narrated from his father from Kharijah ibn Zayd ibn Thabit: The meanings of these laws of inheritance and their principles are from Zayd ibn Thabit, while the commentary is the interpretation of Abu al-Zinad based on the meanings of Zayd. He said: The inheritance of the mother from her child: if her son or daughter dies leaving a child or grandchild, male or female, or leaving two or more siblings, whether male or female, full or paternal or maternal, the mother gets one-sixth. If the deceased left no child, no grandchild, and no two or more siblings, then the mother gets the full one-third, except in two specific cases only: if a man dies leaving his wife and both parents, the wife gets one-quarter, and the mother gets one-third of the remainder, which is one-quarter of the total estate. And if a woman dies leaving her husband and both parents, the husband gets one-half, and the mother gets one-third of the remainder, which is one-sixth of the total estate.
