Kharijah bin Zaid (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I saw my father (Sayyiduna Zaid bin Thabit, may Allah be pleased with him) that after distributing the prescribed shares, he would return the surplus wealth to the treasury and would not give anything back to any heir.

Shu'bi (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) used to return the surplus wealth to each heir according to his share, except for the husband and the woman.

Shu'bi (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) used to return the surplus wealth to each heir according to his share, except that he would not return it to the real daughter along with the granddaughter, to the real or maternal sister along with the paternal sister, to the grandmother (when she was the sole heir), to the mother along with the maternal sister, nor to the husband or the woman.

Alqamah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) gave the maternal brothers one third and the rest of the wealth to the mother, and said: "The mother is the 'asaba (residuary heir) of the one who has no 'asaba."

Ibrahim (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "The mother is the 'asaba (agnate) for the one who has no 'asaba, and the sister is the 'asaba for the one who has no 'asaba."

Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Regarding the child of the woman who performed li'an (i.e., whose mother did li'an), who died and left behind his mother and brother, the brother should be given one-sixth, the mother one-third, and whatever remains should be returned to them according to their shares." And Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "The brother gets one-sixth and the rest is for the mother, and the mother is his 'asaba (residuary heir)." And Sayyiduna Zaid bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "The mother gets one-third, the brother one-sixth, and the remainder is for the Bayt al-Mal (public treasury)."

Sayyiduna Ali and Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: "The mother of the child of curse is his 'asaba (agnatic relative); if the mother is not present, then the 'asaba of his mother is his 'asaba, and the child born of adultery is under the same ruling as the child of curse."

Jabir bin Zaid (may Allah have mercy on him) said: A person was brought to Ziyad who had both organs (male and female), and it was not known how to allocate inheritance for him. So he said: "Who will solve this issue?" It was said: Jabir bin Zaid (may Allah have mercy on him. So he was called from prison, and he came walking in shackles. Ziyad said: "Decide." So he said: "Make him stand against the wall; if he urinates on the wall, he is a man, and if he urinates on his legs, she is a woman."

Qatadah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I mentioned the statement of Jabir bin Zayd (may Allah have mercy on him) to Sa'id bin al-Musayyib (may Allah have mercy on him), so he said: "What if he urinates from both passages at the same time?" I said: "I do not know." So he said: "The ruling will be according to whichever side it comes from first."

Jabir bin Zaid (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Ziyad imprisoned me out of suspicion, then he sought a ruling from me regarding the inheritance of a khuntha (hermaphrodite). I said: "You suspect us and then you ask us about a religious matter!" Then I wrote to Ziyad: "Give inheritance according to the side from which he urinates."
