النص العربي
حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلَانَ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النَّضْرِ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ شَيْبَانُ ، عَنْ أَشْعَثَ ، عَنْ الْأَسْوَدِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ ، قَالَ : "
أَتَانَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ جَبَلٍ ، بِالْيَمَنِ مُعَلِّمًا وَأَمِيرًا ، فَسَأَلْنَاهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ تُوُفِّيَ وَتَرَكَ ابْنَتَهُ وَأُخْتَهُ ، فَأَعْطَى الِابْنَةَ النِّصْفَ ، وَالْأُخْتَ النِّصْفَ
