Al-Kāfi|Volume 7|Book 2|Chapter 26
5- عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَسْبَاطٍ عَنْ خَلَفِ بْنِ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ بَكْرٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) فِي زَوْجٍ مَاتَ وَتَرَكَ امْرَأَةً فَقَالَ لَهَا الرُّبُعُ وَتَدْفَعُ الْبَاقِيَ إِلَيْنَا.
5. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Ali ibn Asbat from Khalaf ibn Hammad from Musa ibn Bakr from Muhammad ibn Muslim who has narrated the following: “About the case of a man who dies and leaves behind his wife, abu Ja‘far عليه السلام, has said, ‘One-fourth belongs to her and the rest must be given to us.’”
