Saeed bin Musayyib (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates: Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) stood up and inquired, "Does anyone among you have knowledge regarding whether the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) made any decision about a woman's inheritance from the blood money (diyah) of her murdered husband?" Upon this, Sayyiduna Dahiak bin Sufyan (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I have knowledge about this. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) wrote us a letter instructing us to give the wife of Ashyam Dhibabi a share from the blood money (diyah) of her husband Ashyam."

Saeed bin Musayyib (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates: Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I think that the blood money (diyah) should only be given to the 'asaba (male agnate relatives), because they are the ones who pay the diyah as well." Has any one of you heard anything about this from the tongue of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)? After this, the narrator has transmitted the hadith as previously mentioned, and in it are also these words: that Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) gave a verdict according to this. The narrator named Ibn Jurayj has transmitted these additional words: "He was killed by mistake."

Saeed bin Musayyib (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab said: "The blood money will go to the family members, and a woman will not inherit anything from her husband's blood money." Until Sayyiduna Dahiya bin Sufyan (may Allah be pleased with him) informed him that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) had written this letter to me (after which the narration continues as previously mentioned).

Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "The blood money will be distributed according to the obligations prescribed by Allah, and the heir will take his share from it."

Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with both of them) narrates that once we were on a journey with the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) until we reached the place of Aswaf, where we came to a woman who was the grandmother of Kharijah bin Zaid. We stayed with her that day. She spread a cloth for us and we sat on it under a date-palm tree. The woman had a goat slaughtered for us and brought a water-skin and placed it there. During this time, we continued to converse. Meanwhile, a woman came, bringing her two daughters, and said: O Messenger of Allah! These are the daughters of Thabit bin Qais (the narrator is unsure, perhaps these are the words) or the daughters of Sa‘id bin Rabi‘, who was martyred with you in the Battle of Uhud. Their uncle has taken their wealth and inheritance into his possession. He has left nothing for them; he has taken it all. O Messenger of Allah! What is your opinion regarding this? By Allah! These two cannot be married off until they have some wealth. So the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:“Allah will decide about this.”Then the verse from Surah An-Nisa was revealed in which it is commanded:“Allah commands you concerning your children: for the male, a portion equal to that of two females.”Then the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said to me:“Bring that woman to me and bring the other party as well.”Then the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said to the guardian of those girls:“Give these girls two-thirds of the wealth, and give their mother one-eighth, and whatever remains will be yours.”

Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) reports: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) allotted one-eighth for the wife, two-thirds for the two daughters, and the remaining wealth for the full brother.

Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the wife of Sayyiduna Sa’d bin Rabi’ (may Allah be pleased with him) came to the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said:“O Messenger of Allah! Sayyiduna Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) was martyred with you.”(After this, the narrator mentioned the entire hadith, in which these words are found): The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) called the uncle of those two girls and said:“Give two-thirds to these two girls, give one-eighth to the wife, and whatever remains will be for you.”

Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that the wife of Sayyiduna Sa’d bin Rabi’ (may Allah be pleased with him) submitted:“O Messenger of Allah! Sayyiduna Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) has passed away. He has left behind two daughters and a brother. His brother has taken all the wealth left by Sayyiduna Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) into his possession. Women are to be married according to their financial status.”The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) did not give any answer to this woman during that gathering. Then she came to your service again and submitted:“O Messenger of Allah! It is about the two daughters of Sayyiduna Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him).”The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:“Call his brother to me.”That person came, so the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:“Give his daughters two-thirds share, and give his wife one-eighth share, and whatever remains, that will be for you.”

Huzail bin Shurahbil narrates: A man came to Sayyiduna Abu Musa Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) and Salman bin Rabiah (may Allah be pleased with him), and he asked both of them about the inheritance ruling for a daughter, a granddaughter, and a full sister. Both of them said: "The daughter will receive half, and the remainder will go to the sister." Then both of them said: "Go to Sayyiduna Abdullah and ask him about this; he will also answer according to our opinion." The man went to Sayyiduna Abdullah, asked him about this, and also informed him of the answer given by the two. Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I will give the ruling in this matter as the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave: half will go to the daughter, one-sixth to the granddaughter, so that two-thirds are completed, and the remainder will go to the sister."

This narration is also transmitted with another chain of transmission.
