Masruq (may Allah have mercy on him) was asked whether Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) was well-versed in the laws of inheritance (the shares of inheritance). He replied: "I have seen the senior companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asking her about the issues of inheritance."

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "Distribute the wealth according to the prescribed shares, and whatever remains, give it to the closest male heir."

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: "Distribute the wealth according to the prescribed shares. If anything is left after the shares, then give it to the closest male relative."

A hypothetical division was asked about from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both), but he could not give the correct answer. Then he was asked again, but still did not know. So he said: "There is no harm (in that)."

Sa’d bin ‘Ubadah (may Allah be pleased with him) distributed his wealth among his children and went to Syria. There, another son was born to him. When Sa’d passed away, Sayyiduna Abu Bakr and Sayyiduna ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) came to Qais bin Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) and said:“Sa’d had distributed his wealth among his children and was unaware of the child to come. We wish that this child should also be given a share.”Qais said:“I will not change the decision made by my father Sa’d, but I will give him my own share.”

It is narrated from Ata (may Allah have mercy on him) that Sa'd bin Ubadah (may Allah be pleased with him) distributed his wealth among his children while there was a pregnancy present, which he was not aware of. Then, when Sa'd passed away, Sayyiduna Abu Bakr and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) came to Qais bin Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: "What Sa'd has done, I will not change it, but I will give this child's share." Ata (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "They used to distribute wealth according to the Book of Allah."

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Be equal in giving gifts to your children; if I were to give preference to anyone, I would have given preference to women over men."

This same hadith is also narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both).
