كتاب الفرائض

Al-Bara' (رضي الله تعالى عنه) reported that the last verse revealed was - ۚ َِ لَةَّ ُ يُفْتِيكُمْ فِي الْكَاليَسْتَفْتُونَكَ قُلِ َّللاَُ لَهُ وَلَدٌ وَلَهإِنِ امْرُؤٌ هَلَكَ لَيْس َِ ثُهَا إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهَا وَلَدٌ ۚ فَإِنْ كَانَتَا اثْنَكَ ۚ وَهُوَ يَرُ مَا تَرأُخْتٌ فَلَهَا نِصْف ۚ ََكتَيْنِ فَلَهُمَا الثُّلُثَانِ مِمَّا تَرِ لُّوَّ ُ لَكُمْ أَنْ تَضْ ُنْثَيَيْنِ ۗ يُبَي ِنُ َّللاِ مِثْلُ حَظ ِ األً وَ نِسَاءً فَلِلذَّكَرِ جَاالوَإِنْ كَانُوا إِخْوَ ةً ر ٌَّ ُ بِكُل ِ شَيْءٍ عَلِيما ۗ وََّللا [They ask you (O' Prophet ﷺ) about Kalalah (a man who dies childless). Say, Allah has given a decision in the matter of inheritance. If a man dies and leaves no child behind but have a sister, she will get half of what he owned, as he would have done the whole of what she possessed if she had died childless. In case he has two sisters then they will get two-thirds of the heritage. But if he has both brothers and sisters, the male will inherit a share equal to that of two females. Allah makes this manifest to you, lest you wander astray, for Allah has knowledge of all the things.] (An-Nisa - 176).
