Sahih Muslim 1615b (Book 23, Hadith 3) #11253
Sharing Inheritance Equitably

SUMMARY: The hadith is about giving shares to those who are entitled to them and the remaining should go to the nearest male heir.

Ibn 'Abbas (Allah be pleased with them) reported Allah's Messenger as saying: Give the shares to those who are entitled to them, and what is left from those who are entitled to it goes to the nearest male heir.
حَدَّثَنَا أُمَيَّةُ بْنُ بِسْطَامَ الْعَيْشِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ طَاوُسٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏ "‏ أَلْحِقُوا الْفَرَائِضَ بِأَهْلِهَا فَمَا تَرَكَتِ الْفَرَائِضُ فَلأَوْلَى رَجُلٍ ذَكَرٍ
