1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr and Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from Yunus all from ‘Umar ibn ’Udhaynah who has narrated the following: “I once said to Zurarah, "Certain people have narrated to me from him (abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.) ) and from his father (a.s.), about certain things regarding the ordained shares. I like to show them to you so you can tell me which is false and which is right and do not narrate this (what is false) and remain quiet.’ I said, "A man narrated from one of the two Imam, (abu Ja‘far or abu "Abd Allah), ‘Alayhim al-Salam, about both parents and brothers from the side of mother that they are barred and do not inherit.’ He said, "This by Allah is false. I will inform you, do not narrate as such. What I say by Allah is the truth. If a deceased leaves behind his parents, the share of the mother is one-third and the father receives two-thirds according to the book of Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious. If he leaves behind brothers, that is, the deceased has brothers from both parents or brothers from the father’s side, the share of his mother is one-sixth and the share of the father is five-sixths. It is made available to the father because of his dependents. Brothers from the side of the mother, who are not from the father, do not bar the mother from her one-third and they do not inherit. If a man dies and leaves behind his mother and brothers and sisters from both parents and brothers and sisters from the mother’s side and the father is not alive, they do not inherit and do not bar her because Kalalah does not inherit.’”
