Sahih al-Bukhari 6739

Hadith text

Narrated Ibn `Abbas:(During the early days of Islam), the inheritance used to be given to one's offspring and legacy used to be bequeathed to the parents, then Allah cancelled what He wished from that order and decreed that the male should be given the equivalent of the portion of two females, and for the parents one-sixth for each of them, and for one's wife one-eighth (if the deceased has children) and one-fourth (if he has no children), for one's husband one-half (if the deceased has no children) and one-fourth (if she has children)

Ibn Abbas bataate hain: (Islam ke shuruaati dinon mein), miraas (waraasat) apni aulaad ko di jaati thi aur wasiyat maa-baap ko chhodi jaati thi, phir Allah ne us hukm mein se jo chaaha, use rad kar diya aur faisla diya ke mard ko do khawaateen ke barabar hissa milega, aur maa-baap ke liye har ek ko chhathvaan hissa, aur biwi ke liye aathvaan hissa (agar mayyat ki aulaad ho) aur chauthaai hissa (agar aulaad na ho), shohar ke liye aadha hissa (agar mayyat ki aulaad na ho) aur chauthaai hissa (agar uski aulaad ho).
