Sunan Abi Dawud 2891

Musaddad narrated to us: Bishr ibn al-Mufaddal narrated to us: 'Abd Allah ibn Muhammad ibn 'Aqil narrated to us, from Jabir ibn 'Abd Allah, who said: ‘We went out with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) until we came upon a woman of the Ansar in the marketplace. The woman brought her two daughters and said: “Messenger of Allah, these are the daughters of Thabit ibn Qays, who was killed with you on the day of Uhud. Their paternal uncle has taken possession of all their property and inheritance and left them nothing. What do you think, Messenger of Allah? By Allah, they will never be married unless they have property.”’ The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) replied: ‘Allah will decide the matter.’ The chapter of Women was then revealed: ‘Allah instructs you concerning your children’s [inheritance] ...’ The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘Call the woman and her companion to me.’ He said to their paternal uncle: ‘Give them two-thirds, give their mother one-eighth, and what remains is yours.’ Abu Dawud said: ‘Bishr made a mistake in this report. They were the daughters of Sa'd ibn al-Rabi'; Thabit ibn Qays was killed on the day of Yamamah.’’
