and an agnate. The 'awl: a woman, parents, and two daughters. It 'awls to twenty-seven, and it is called "Al-Bakhila" (the stingy one) because it is the origin that 'awls the least, as it only 'awls by its eighth. It is also called "Al-Minbariyya" because Ali, may Allah be pleased with him, was asked about it while on the pulpit and said: "Its eighth became a ninth." This has been mentioned in his sermon. He means that the woman had the eighth, which was three out of twenty-four; through the 'awl, it became three out of twenty-seven, which is a ninth. The deceased in this origin cannot be anyone but a man because it contains an eighth, which is only for the wife with the child. It is impossible for this origin to 'awl to more than this, except according to the opinion of Ibn Mas'ud, for he disqualifies the spouses and the mother (from inheritance) by the unbelieving, murdering, or enslaved child, and does not grant them inheritance. Therefore, according to his opinion, if there is a woman, a mother, six sisters from different sides, and an unbelieving child, the sisters receive a third, and the two-thirds are twenty-four, and for the mother and the woman is the sixth, and the eighth is seven, so it 'awls to thirty-one.
