1. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad and Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Muhammad ibn Yahya from Ahmad ibn Muhammad and Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father and Humayd ibn Ziyad from al-Hassan ibn Muhammad all of them from ibn Mahbub from Ali ibn Ri’ab from abu Basir who has narrated the following: “I once asked abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), about certain issues of ordained shares of inheritance. He (the Imam) said, ’Do you like if I show you the book of Ali (a.s.) ?’ I said, ‘But the book of Ali (a.s.), is no longer studied.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘O abu Muhammad, how can you say that the book of Ali (a.s.), is no longer studied?’ He (the Imam) brought it out and it was a magnificent book. I saw in it this case, ‘A man dies and leaves behind his paternal and maternal uncles.’ It said, ‘The paternal uncle receives two-thirds and the maternal uncle receives one- third.’” 

2- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ يُونُسَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ الْخَالُ وَالْخَالَةُ يَرِثَانِ إِذَا لَمْ يَكُنْ مَعَهُمَا أَحَدٌ إِنَّ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يَقُولُ وَأُولُوا الأرْحامِ بَعْضُهُمْ أَوْلى‏ بِبَعْضٍ فِي كِتابِ اللهِ.

2. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from Yunus from abu Basir who has narrated the following: “Abu Ja‘far (a.s.), has said, ‘The maternal uncle and maternal aunt inherit if there are no other heirs. Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, has said, ‘. . . relatives have priorities over other relatives according to the book of Allah.’(33:6)” 

3- حُمَيْدُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَمَاعَةَ عَنْ وُهَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ الْخَالُ وَالْخَالَةُ يَرِثَانِ إِذَا لَمْ يَكُنْ مَعَهُمَا أَحَدٌ يَرِثُ غَيْرُهُمَا إِنَّ اللهَ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى يَقُولُ وَأُولُوا الأرْحامِ بَعْضُهُمْ أَوْلى‏ بِبَعْضٍ فِي كِتابِ اللهِ.

3. Humayd ibn Ziyad has narrated from al-Hassan ibn Muhammad ibn Sama‘ah, from Wuhayb from abu Basir who has narrated the following: “I once heard abu Ja‘far (a.s.), saying, ‘Maternal uncle and maternal aunt inherit if there are no other heirs with them. Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, has said, ‘. . . relatives have priorities over other relatives according to the book of Allah.’ (33:6)” 

4- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَسِّنِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ أَبَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) فِي عَمَّةٍ وَخَالَةٍ قَالَ الثُّلُثُ وَالثُّلُثَانِ يَعْنِي لِلْعَمَّةِ الثُّلُثَانِ وَلِلْخَالَةِ الثُّلُثُ. حُمَيْدُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْمُثَنَّى عَنْ أَبَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) مِثْلَهُ.

4. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Muhsin ibn Ahmad from Aban from abu Maryam who has narrated the following: “About the case of the paternal aunt and maternal aunt, abu Ja’far (a.s.), has said, ‘It is one-third and two-thirds; two-thirds for the paternal aunt and one-third for the maternal aunt.’” Humayd ibn Ziyad, from al-Hassan ibn Muhammad, from al-Muthanna’, from Aban, from abu Maryam, from abu Ja‘far (a.s.), has narrated a similar Hadith. 

5- حُمَيْدُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ وُهَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) فِي رَجُلٍ تَرَكَ عَمَّتَهُ وَخَالَتَهُ قَالَ لِلْعَمَّةِ الثُّلُثَانِ وَلِلْخَالَةِ الثُّلُثُ.

5. Humayd ibn Ziyad has narrated from al-Hassan from Wuhayb from abu Basir who has narrated the following: “About the case of a man who has left behind his paternal aunt and maternal aunt, abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘The paternal aunt receives two-thirds and the maternal aunt receives one- third.’” 

6- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَمُوتُ وَيَتْرُكُ خَالَهُ وَخَالَتَهُ وَعَمَّهُ وَعَمَّتَهُ وَابْنَهُ وَابْنَتَهُ وَأَخَاهُ وَأُخْتَهُ فَقَالَ كُلُّ هَؤُلاءِ يَرِثُونَ وَيَحُوزُونَ فَإِذَا اجْتَمَعَتِ الْعَمَّةُ وَالْخَالَةُ فَلِلْعَمَّةِ الثُّلُثَانِ وَلِلْخَالَةِ الثُّلُثُ.

6. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Hammad from Hariz from Muhammad ibn Muslim who has narrated the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about the case of a man who dies and leaves behind a maternal uncle, maternal aunt, paternal uncle, paternal aunt, his son, his daughter, his brother and sister. He (the Imam) said, ‘All of them inherit and protect. When there are the paternal aunt and maternal uncle, then the paternal aunt receives two-thirds and the maternal uncle receives one-third of the legacy.’” 

7- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَهْلٍ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ الثَّانِي (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) فِي رَجُلٍ مَاتَ وَتَرَكَ خَالَتَيْهِ وَمَوَالِيَهُ قَالَ أُولُوا الأرْحَامِ بَعْضُهُمْ أَوْلَى بِبَعْضٍ الْمَالُ بَيْنَ الْخَالَتَيْنِ.

7. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Sahf ibn Ziyad from af-Husayn ibn af-Hakam who has narrated the folfowing: “About the case of a man who dies leaving behind his two maternal aunts and relatives, abu Ja’far (a.s.), has said, ‘Relatives have priorities over each other. The legacy belongs to the two maternal aunts.”’ 

8- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ دُرُسْتَ بْنِ أَبِي مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْمَغْرَاءِ عَنْ رَجُلٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ قَالَ إِنِ امْرُؤٌ هَلَكَ وَتَرَكَ عَمَّتَهُ وَخَالَتَهُ فَلِلْعَمَّةِ الثُّلُثَانِ وَلِلْخَالَةِ الثُّلُثُ. قَالَ الْفَضْلُ إِنْ تَرَكَ الْمَيِّتُ عَمَّيْنِ أَحَدُهُمَا لأبٍ وَأُمٍّ وَالآخَرُ لأبٍ فَالْمَالُ لِلْعَمِّ الَّذِي لِلأبِ وَالأمِّ وَإِنْ تَرَكَ أَعْمَاماً وَعَمَّاتٍ فَالْمَالُ بَيْنَهُمْ لِلذَّكَرِ مِثْلُ حَظِّ الأنْثَيَيْنِ وَإِنْ تَرَكَ أَخْوَالا وَخَالاتٍ فَالْمَالُ بَيْنَهُمُ الذَّكَرُ وَالأنْثَى فِيهِ سَوَاءٌ وَإِنْ تَرَكَ خَالا لأبٍ وَأُمٍّ وَخَالا لأبٍ فَالْمَالُ لِلْخَالِ لِلأبِ وَالأمِّ وَكَذَلِكَ الْعَمَّةُ وَالْخَالَةُ فِي هَذَا إِنَّمَا يَكُونُ الْمَالُ لِلَّتِي هِيَ لِلأبِ وَالأمِّ دُونَ الَّتِي هِيَ لِلأبِ.

8. Afi ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Durust ibn abu Mansur from abu af-Mighra’ from a man who has narrated the following: “Abu Ja‘far (a.s.), has said, ‘If a man dies and leaves behind a paternal aunt and maternal aunt, the paternal aunt receives two-thirds and the maternal aunt receives one-third of the legacy.’” Al-Fadl has said that if a deceased leaves behind two paternal uncles, one from both parents and the other from the father, the legacy belongs to the one who is from both parents. If a deceased leaves behind many uncles and aunts, the legacy among them is distributed by giving each male twice the share of a female. If a deceased leaves behind maternal uncles and aunts, the legacy is distributed between both male and female in equal shares. If he leaves behind a maternal uncle from both parents and one from mother’s side only, the legacy belongs to the uncle from both parents, and so is the case about paternal aunt and maternal aunt in this issue. The legacy belongs to the ones who are from both parents and not to the one who is just from the father’s side. 

9- وَقَدْ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) الْخَالُ وَارِثُ مَنْ لا وَارِثَ لَهُ. وَإِنْ تَرَكَ عَمّاً وَخَالا فَلِلْعَمِّ الثُّلُثَانِ نَصِيبُ الأبِ وَلِلْخَالِ الثُّلُثُ نَصِيبُ
