Arabic (Original)
أَخْبَرَنَا الشَّيْخُ أَبُو الْفَتْحِ أنا الشُّرَيْحِيُّ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْقَاسِمِ الْبَغَوِيُّ ثنا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْجَعْدِ أنا زُهَيْرٌ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنِ الْحَارِثِ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ؓ قَالَ لَأَنْ أُوْصِيَ بِالرُّبُعِ أَحَبُّ إِلِيَّ مِنْ أَنْ أُوصِيَ بِالثُّلُثِ فَمَنْ أَوْصَى بِالثُّلُثِ فَلَمْ يَتْرُكْ
English Translation
The Shaykh Abu al-Fath informed us with his chain from Ali ibn al-Ja'd: Zuhayr narrated from Abu Ishaq from al-Harith from Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) who said: 'You recite this verse: After any bequest which was bequeathed or debt (Quran 4:12). The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) ruled that debt is paid before bequest, and the sons of the same mother inherit from one another, not the sons of different mothers. A man inherits from his brother through his father and mother, not through his father alone.'
