Arabic hadith text
حَدَّثَنِي مَحْمُودٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النَّضْرِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، شَيْبَانُ عَنْ أَشْعَثَ، عَنِ الأَسْوَدِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، قَالَ أَتَانَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ جَبَلٍ بِالْيَمَنِ مُعَلِّمًا وَأَمِيرًا، فَسَأَلْنَاهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ، تُوُفِّيَ وَتَرَكَ ابْنَتَهُ وَأُخْتَهُ، فَأَعْطَى الاِبْنَةَ النِّصْفَ وَالأُخْتَ النِّصْفَ.
Translation
Mahmud narrated to me; Abu al-Nadr narrated to us; Abu Muawiyah narrated to us; Shayban narrated to us, from Ashath, from al-Aswad ibn Yazid, who said: Muadh ibn Jabal came to us in Yemen as a teacher and governor. We asked him about a man who died leaving a daughter and a sister. He gave half to the daughter and half to the sister.
