Allah's Apostle said, "None has more sense of ghaira than Allah, and for this He has forbidden shameful sins whether
committed openly or secretly, and none loves to be praised more than Allah does, and this is why He Praises Himself."
Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith
Hadith 9.512
Al Mughira
Narrated by
Sa'd bin 'Ubada said, "If I saw a man with my wife, I would strike him (behead him) with the blade of my sword." This news
reached Allah's Apostle who then said, "You people are astonished at Sa'd's Ghira. By Allah, I have more Ghira than he, and
Allah has more Ghira than I, and because of Allah's Ghira, He has made unlawful shameful deeds and sins (illegal sexual
intercourse etc.) done in open and in secret. And there is none who likes that the people should repent to Him and beg His
pardon than Allah, and for this reason He sent the warners and the givers of good news. And there is none who likes to be
praised more than Allah does, and for this reason, Allah promised to grant Paradise (to the doers of good)." 'Abdul Malik said,
"No person has more Ghira than Allah."
SHARES:
4:7 - From what is left by parents and those nearest related there is a share for men and a share for
women whether the property be small or large a determinate share. 514
514 I have resisted the temptation to translate "next to kin," as this phrase has a technical meaning in Indian Law, referring
to certain kinds of heirs, whereas here the people meant are those whose inheritance is to be divided. The shares are
specified. Here the general principles are laid down that females inherit as well as males, and that relatives who have
no legal shares, orphans, and indigent people are not to be treated harshly, if present at the division. (4.7)
4:8 - But if at the time of division other relatives of orphans or poor are present feed them out of the
(property) and speak to them words of kindness and justice.
6:139 - They say: "What is in the wombs of such and such cattle is specially reserved (for food) for
our men and forbidden to our women; but if it is still-born then all have shares therein. For
their (false) attribution (of superstitions to Allah): He will soon punish them: for He is full of
Wisdom and Knowledge. 963
963 These are further Pagan superstitions about cattle. Some have already been noted in v. 106, which may be consulted
with the notes. (6.139)

Al-Muwatta Hadith
Hadith 27.0a
Inheritance of Descendants
Yahya related to me from Malik, "The generally agreed upon way of doing things among us and what I have seen the people
of knowledge doing in our city about the fixed shares of inheritance of children from the mother or father when one or other of
them dies is that if they leave male and female children, the male takes the portion of two females. If there are only females,
and there are more than two, they get two thirds of what is left between them. If there is only one, she gets a half. If someone
shares with the children, who has a fixed share and there are males among them, the reckoner begins with the ones with
fixed shares. What remains after that is divided among the children according to their inheritance.
"When there are no children, grandchildren through sons have the same position as children, so that grandsons are like sons
and grand-daughters are like daughters. They inherit as they inherit and they overshadow as they overshadow. If there are
both children and grandchildren through sons, and there is a male among the children, then the grandchildren through sons
do not share in the inheritance with him.
"If there is no surviving male among the children, and there are two or more daughters, the granddaughters through a son do
not share in the inheritance with them unless there is a male who is in the same position as them in relation to the deceased,
or further than them. His presence gives access to whatever is left over, if any, to whoever is in his position and whoever is
above him of the granddaughters through sons. If something is left over, they divide it among them, and the male takes the
portion of two females. If nothing is left over, they have nothing.
"If the only descendant is a daughter, she takes half, and if there are one or more grand-daughters through a son who are in
the same position to the deceased, they share a sixth. If there is a male in the same position as the granddaughters through
a son in relation to the deceased, they have no share and no sixth .
"If there is a surplus after the allotting of shares to the people with fixed shares, the surplus goes to the male and whoever is
in his position and whoever is above him of the female descendants through sons. The male has the share of two females.
The one who is more distant in relationship than grandchildren through sons has nothing. If there is no surplus, they have
nothing. That is because Allah, the Blessed, the Exalted, said in His Book, 'Allah charges you about your children that the
male has the like of the portion of two females. If there are more than two women they have two thirds of what is left. If there
is one, she has a half.' (Sura 4 ayat 10)
