Distribution of What is Bequeathed To Relatives

3- عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ جَمِيعاً عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنِ ابْنِ رِئَابٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) فِي رَجُلٍ أَوْصَى بِثُلُثِ مَالِهِ فِي أَعْمَامِهِ وَأَخْوَالِهِ فَقَالَ لأعْمَامِهِ الثُّلُثَانِ وَلأخْوَالِهِ الثُّلُثُ.
3. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad and Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father all from ibn Mahbub from ibn Ri’ab from Zurarah who has narrated the following: “This is about the case of a man who bequests one-third of his legacy to his paternal and maternal uncles. Abu Ja‘far عليه السلام, has said, ‘The paternal uncle receive two-thirds and the maternal uncle receives one-third.’”
