Abu Hani said: 'Amir Sha'bi, may Allah have mercy on him, was asked: If a woman or a man passes away, and leaves behind a maternal aunt and a paternal aunt, and besides them there is no other heir or relative, Sha'bi, may Allah have mercy on him, said: Sayyiduna Abdullah ibn Mas'ud, may Allah be pleased with him, used to give the maternal aunt the share of the mother and the paternal aunt the share of her brother, that is, the deceased woman's brother.
