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 السُّدُسُ، وَجَعَلَ لِلْمَرْأَةِ الثُّمُنَ وَالرُّبُعَ، وَلِلزَّوْجِ الشَّطْرَ وَالرُّبُعَ.

Narrator: Ibn `Abbas

English translation
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: (During the early days of Islam), the inheritance used to be given to one's offspring and legacy used to be bequeathed to the parents, then Allah cancelled what He wished from that order and decreed that the male should be given the equivalent of the portion of two females, and for the parents one-sixth for each of them, and for one's wife one-eighth (if the deceased has children) and one-fourth (if he has no children), for one's husband one-half (if the deceased has no children) and one-fourth (if she has children)
বাংলা অনুবাদ
ইবনু ‘আব্বাস (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, (প্রাথমিক অবস্থায় মৃতের ছেড়ে যাওয়া) মাল ছিল সন্তানাদির জন্য আর ওসিয়াত ছিল পিতামাতার জন্য। অতঃপর আল্লাহ্ তাত্থেকে কিছু রহিত করে দিয়ে অধিকতর পছন্দনীয়টি প্রবর্তন করেছেন। পুরুষের জন্য দু’জন নারীর অংশের সমান নির্ধারণ করেছেন। আর পিতা-মাতার প্রত্যেকের জন্য এক-ষষ্ঠাংশ নির্ধারণ করেছেন। স্ত্রীর জন্য নির্ধারণ করেছেন (সন্তানের বর্তমানে) এক-অষ্টমাংশ এবং (সন্তানের অবর্তমানে) এক-চতুর্থাংশ। আর স্বামীর জন্য (সন্তানের অবর্তমানে-) অর্ধেক আর (সন্তানের বর্তমানে) চার ভাগের একভাগ। [২৭৪৭] (আধুনিক প্রকাশনী- ৬২৭১, ইসলামিক ফাউন্ডেশন)
