one hundred and nineteen, which is the complete ten. Thus, the paternal uncle's bequest becomes six and thirty-six parts, the maternal uncle's bequest seven and forty-seven parts, the grandfather's bequest seven and ninety-seven parts, and the brother's bequest eight and eighty-eight parts. By the method of the chapter, you multiply the denominators by one another, which becomes one hundred and twenty. Subtract one from it, leaving one hundred and nineteen; this is the divisor. Then subtract one from the two and multiply it by three; then increase it by one and multiply it by four, which becomes sixteen. Subtract one from it and multiply it by five, which becomes seventy-five; this is the paternal uncle's bequest. Multiply it by ten, then divide it by nineteen, and it becomes six and thirty-six parts. Then subtract one from the three and multiply it by four, then increase it by one and multiply it by five, which becomes forty-five. Subtract one from it and multiply it by two, which becomes eighty-eight; this is the maternal uncle's bequest. Then subtract one from the four and multiply it by five, which becomes fifteen; increase it by one and multiply it by two, which becomes thirty-two. Subtract one from it and multiply it by three, which becomes ninety-three; this is the grandfather's bequest. Then subtract one from the five and multiply it by two, which becomes eight; increase it by one and multiply it by three, which becomes twenty-seven. Subtract one from it and multiply it by four, which becomes one hundred and four; this is the brother's bequest. In that, you multiply the number that is with each one of them and divide it by nineteen; the result of the division is his bequest. If one were to bequeath to his paternal uncle ten and half the bequest of his maternal uncle, and to his maternal uncle ten and a third of the bequest of his paternal uncle, the paternal uncle's bequest would be eighteen, and the maternal uncle's bequest sixteen. Its method is to multiply one of the two denominators by the other and subtract one from it; this is the divisor. Then add to the denominator of the half one, multiply it by the denominator of the third, then by ten, which becomes ninety; divided by [fifteen], it becomes eighteen. Then add one to the denominator of the third, multiply it by the denominator of the half, then by ten, which becomes eighty; divided by five. If there is another person with them, and he bequeathed to the maternal uncle ten and a quarter of his bequest, and he bequeathed to him ten and a quarter of the paternal uncle's bequest, you multiply the denominators and subtract one from them, which becomes twenty-three; this is the divisor. Then add one to the two and multiply it by three, which becomes nine; increase it by one and multiply it by four, which becomes forty, then by ten, then divide it, and there results seventeen and nine parts; this is the paternal uncle's bequest. Then you do with the remaining two as we mentioned; the maternal uncle's bequest will be fourteen and eighteen parts, and the third person's bequest fourteen and eight parts. If you wish, after you have worked out the paternal uncle's bequest, multiply the excess from his bequest by two, and it is the maternal uncle's bequest; and multiply the excess over ten from the maternal uncle's bequest by three, and it is the paternal uncle's bequest. Whenever you know what is with one of them, it is possible for you to know what is with the others. And Allah knows best. This amount from this field is sufficient, for the need for it is little, and its branches are numerous and long, and others are more important than it. May Allah the Exalted grant us success in what pleases Him, for He is powerful over what He wills.
