1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu ‘Umayr and Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from Yunus all from ‘Umar ibn ’Udhaynah from Zurarah who has narrated the following: “I once asked abu Ja‘far, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, about the ordained share of grandfather. He (the Imam) said, ’I do not know anyone who has spoken about it but that it is his own opinion except Ali, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, who has spoken about it with the words of the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause.’” Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad has narrated from Mu‘alla’ ibn Muhammad from al-Hassan ibn Ali al- Washsha’ from Aban ibn ‘Uthman from Zurarah from abu Ja‘far, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, a similar Hadith.

2. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu ‘Umayr from ‘Umar ibn ’Udhaynah from Zurarah and Bukayr and al- Fudayl and Muhammad and Burayd who has narrated the following: “One of the two Imam, (abu Ja‘far or abu ‘ Abd Allah), ‘Alayhim al-Salam, has said, ‘The grandfather with brothers from the father’s side become like one of the brothers regardless of how many they are.’ He (the narrator) has said that I asked, ‘A man has left his brother from his mother and father and his grandfather’, or I asked, ‘He has left his grandfather, his brother from his father and mother.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘The legacy is given to them, regardless, one or one hundred thousand he (grandfather) receives the share of one brother.’ I then asked, ‘A man has left behind his grandfather and his sister.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘The male receives like the share of two females. If they are two sisters then one- half is for grandfather and the other one-half for the two sisters. However, if they are more, it then is like the above calculation, if he leaves brothers and sisters from father and mother and grandfather then the grandfather is like one of the brothers and the legacy among them is distributed, each male receiving twice the share of a female.’” Zurarah has said, ‘This is what I cannot be questioned for because I heard it from his father and from him (the Imam) before and we have no doubt about it or differences.’”
