حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، قال حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ أَبِي قَيْسٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ جَاءَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَعُودُنِي وَأَنَا مَرِيضٌ فِي بَنِي سَلِمَةَ فَقُلْتُ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ كَيْفَ أَقْسِمُ مَالِي بَيْنَ وَلَدِي فَلَمْ يَرُدَّ عَلَىَّ شَيْئًا فَنَزَلَتْ : (يُوصِيكُمُ اللَّهُ فِي أَوْلاَدِكُمْ لِلذَّكَرِ مِثْلُ حَظِّ الأُنْثَيَيْنِ ) الآيَةَ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ . وَقَدْ رَوَاهُ شُعْبَةُ وَابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ وَغَيْرُهُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ.

‘Abd ibn Humayd narrated to us; ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn Sa‘d informed us; ‘Amr ibn Abi Qays informed us, from Muhammad ibn al-Munkadir, from Jabir ibn ‘Abd Allah, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came to visit me while I was ill among Banu Salimah. I said, ‘Prophet of Allah, how should I divide my wealth among my children?’ He gave me no answer. Then the verse was revealed: ‘Allah instructs you concerning your children: a male shall receive the share of two females.’ Abu ‘Isa said: This is a hasan sahih hadith. Shu‘bah, Ibn ‘Uyaynah, and others also narrated it from Muhammad ibn al-Munkadir, from Jabir.
