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.”
