Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَظِيمِ الْعَنْبَرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَنْبَأَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ طَاوُسٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ اقْسِمُوا الْمَالَ بَيْنَ أَهْلِ الْفَرَائِضِ عَلَى كِتَابِ اللَّهِ فَمَا تَرَكَتِ الْفَرَائِضُ فَلأَوْلَى رَجُلٍ ذَكَرٍ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

al-ʿAbbās ibn ʿAbd al-ʿAẓīm al-ʿAnbarī narrated to us: ʿAbd al-Razzāq narrated to us: Maʿmar informed us, from Ibn Ṭāwūs, from his father, from Ibn ʿAbbās, who said: The Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “Distribute the property among those entitled to prescribed shares according to the Book of God. Whatever remains after the prescribed shares goes to the nearest male relative.”
