Masruq bin Ajda’ (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him) used to say:“When there are paternal and maternal sisters present, and along with them there are only paternal siblings, then the maternal and paternal sisters will receive two-thirds, and the remainder will go only to the male (i.e., the brother), and nothing will be given to the women.”Then when I reached Madinah and heard the statement of Sayyiduna Zayd bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him), I liked it. So some of his companions said:“Will you abandon the statement of Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas’ud?”He replied:“When I came to Madinah, I found Zayd bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) to be firmly grounded in knowledge.”
