حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَجِيحٍ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ، أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ يَغْزُو الرِّجَالُ وَلاَ يَغْزُو النِّسَاءُ وَإِنَّمَا لَنَا نِصْفُ الْمِيرَاثِ . فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ : (وَلاَ تَتَمَنَّوْا مَا فَضَّلَ اللَّهُ بِهِ بَعْضَكُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ ) . قَالَ مُجَاهِدٌ فَأُنْزِلَ فِيهَا : ( إِنَّ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَالْمُسْلِمَاتِ ) وَكَانَتْ أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ أَوَّلَ ظَعِينَةٍ قَدِمَتِ الْمَدِينَةَ مُهَاجِرَةً . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ مُرْسَلٌ . وَرَوَاهُ بَعْضُهُمْ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَجِيحٍ عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ مُرْسَلٌ أَنَّ أُمَّ سَلَمَةَ قَالَتْ كَذَا وَكَذَا .

Mujahid reported that Umm Salamah said: ‘Men go out to fight, while women do not, and we receive only half the inheritance.’ Then Allah revealed, “Do not covet what Allah has given some of you over others” (Qur’an 4:32). Mujahid said that the verse “Indeed, Muslim men and Muslim women…” (Qur’an 33:35) was also revealed concerning this. Umm Salamah was the first woman to arrive in Medina as an emigrant by camel. Abu ‘Isa said this report is mursal. Some narrators also transmitted it from Ibn Abi Najih, from Mujahid, disconnected, with Umm Salamah saying similar words.
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
Abu ‘Isa explicitly identifies the report as mursal, with a gap in the chain between Mujahid and Umm Salamah.
