2. It is narrated from the narrator of the previous Hadith from al-Hassan ibn Muhammad from Muhammad ibn Sukayn and Ali ibn abu Hamzah from Mushma‘il and ibn Ribat from Mushma‘il all of them from abu Basir who has narrated the following: “Abu Ja‘far (a.s.), once read for me (from the book) on the issue of ordained shares of inheritance the following: ‘A woman dies and leaves behind her husband,’ he (the Imam) said, ‘The entire legacy belongs to him. If a man dies and leaves behind his wife, he (the Imam) said that one- fourth belongs to her and the rest belongs to the Imam.’”
