وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدِ بْنُ أَبِي عَمْرٍو أنا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ ثنا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ثنا عِيسَى بْنُ يُونُسَ وَوَكِيعٌ عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنِ الْأَسْوَدِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ كَانَ عُمَرُ ؓ إِذَا سَلَكَ طَرِيقًا فَاتَّبَعْنَاهُ وَجَدْنَاهُ سَهْلًا وَأَنَّهُ أُتِيَ فِي امْرَأَةٍ وَأَبَوَيْنِ فَأَعْطَى الْمَرْأَةَ الرُّبُعَ وَأَعْطَى الْأُمَّ ثُلُثَ مَا بَقِيَ وَأَعْطَى الْأَبَ سَهْمَيْنِ
