Brothers from a Mother with the Grandfather

“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about the case of a man who leaves behind his brother from his mother. He (the Imam) said, ‘If he has not left other heirs besides him the legacy belongs to him.’ I then asked about a brother from a mother with a grandfather. He (the Imam) said, ‘One-sixth must be given to the brother from his mother and the rest is given to the grandfather.’ I then asked about a brother from the father and a grandfather. He (the Imam) said, ‘The legacy between them is in equal shares.’”
