حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، عَنْ وَرْقَاءَ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَجِيحٍ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ كَانَ الْمَالُ لِلْوَلَدِ، وَكَانَتِ الْوَصِيَّةُ لِلْوَالِدَيْنِ، فَنَسَخَ اللَّهُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ مَا أَحَبَّ، فَجَعَلَ لِلذَّكَرِ مِثْلَ حَظِّ الأُنْثَيَيْنِ، وَجَعَلَ لِلأَبَوَيْنِ لِكُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا السُّدُسَ، وَجَعَلَ لِلْمَرْأَةِ الثُّمُنَ وَالرُّبْعَ، وَلِلزَّوْجِ الشَّطْرَ وَالرُّبُعَ.

Narrator: Ibn `Abbas

English translation
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: The custom (in old days) was that the property of the deceased would be inherited by his offspring; as for the parents (of the deceased), they would inherit by the will of the deceased. Then Allah cancelled from that custom whatever He wished and fixed for the male double the amount inherited by the female, and for each parent a sixth (of the whole legacy) and for the wife an eighth or a fourth and for the husband a half or a fourth

ইবনু ‘আব্বাস (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, উত্তরাধিকারী হিসেবে সম্পদ পেতো সন্তান আর পিতা-মাতার জন্য ছিল অসীয়াত। অতঃপর আল্লাহ্ তাআলা তাঁর পছন্দ মত এ বিধান রহিত করে ছেলের অংশ মেয়ের দ্বিগুণ, পিতামাতা প্রত্যেকের জন্য এক ষষ্ঠাংশ, স্ত্রীর জন্য এক অষ্টমাংশ, এক চতুর্থাংশ, স্বামীর জন্য অর্ধেক, এক চতুর্থাংশ নির্ধারণ করেন। (৪৫৭৮, ৬৭৩৯) (আধুনিক প্রকাশনীঃ ২৫৪৫, ইসলামিক ফাউন্ডেশনঃ)
