Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى عَنْ يُونُسَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ سَأَلَ عَنْ فَرِيضَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الْجَدِّ فَقَامَ مَعْقِلُ بْنُ يَسَارٍ الْمُزَنِيُّ فَقَالَ قَضَى فِيهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ مَاذَا قَالَ السُّدُسَ قَالَ مَعَ مَنْ قَالَ لَا أَدْرِي قَالَ لَا دَرَيْتَ فَمَا تُغْنِي إِذًا.
English Translation
Abd al-A'la told us, from Yunus, from al-Hasan: that Umar ibn al-Khattab asked about the ruling of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding the grandfather['s inheritance], so Ma'qil ibn Yasar al-Muzani stood up and said: "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ruled on it." He said: "What was it?" He said: "The sixth." He said: "Along with whom?" He said: "I do not know." He said: "Then you knew nothing - of what use is it then?"
