Ibn Jurayj narrates from Ata regarding the man who dies and leaves behind his mawla, grandfather, and brother: who will receive the wala’ of his mawla? He replied that it will be divided equally between the two of them.

Sufyan says that this statement has reached me from Zuhri that the right of wala' is for the grandfather.

Ibn Abi Dhi'b narrates from Zuhri about the man who leaves behind his grandfather and brother, he said that the right of inheritance (wala) is for the grandfather, because a person is attributed to his grandfather, not to his brother.
