It is narrated from Masruq (may Allah have mercy on him) that Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said regarding full sisters and paternal sisters: "For the full sisters there will be two-thirds, and what remains will be only for the men, not for the women." Then when Masruq came to Madinah, he heard the statement of Sayyiduna Zayd bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him), which he liked very much. Some of his students said: "Will you leave the statement of your teacher, Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him)?" He replied: "When I came to Madinah, I found Sayyiduna Zayd bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) among those with strong and firm knowledge."

Ahmad bin Abdullah bin Yunus said: I asked Ibn Shihab: "What did Sayyiduna Zayd (may Allah be pleased with him) say about this?" He said: "He included both the full and paternal sisters together (in inheritance)."
