Hadith.5758 - Muhammad ibn Abi Abdullah Al-Kufi narrated from Musa ibn ʿImran Al-Nakhaʿi from his uncle Al-Husayn ibn Yazid from Ali ibn Salim from his father, who said
"I asked Abu Abdullah (as), 'Why is the inheritance for the male equal to the share of two females?' Imam (as) replied: 'Because the grains that Adam (as) and Hawwaʾ ate in Paradise were eighteen grains. Adam ate twelve of them, and Hawwaʾ ate six. For this reason, the inheritance is for the male equal to the share of two females.'"
5758 - وَ رَوَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ اَلْكُوفِيُّ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ عِمْرَانَ اَلنَّخَعِيِّ عَنْ عَمِّهِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ سَالِمٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ
سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ كَيْفَ صَارَ اَلْمِيرَاثُ "لِلذَّكَرِ مِثْلُ حَظِّ اَلْأُنْثَيَيْنِ" فَقَالَ "لِأَنَّ اَلْحَبَّاتِ اَلَّتِي أَكَلَهَا آدَمُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ وَ حَوَّاءُ فِي اَلْجَنَّةِ كَانَتْ ثَمَانِيَ عَشْرَةَ حَبَّةً أَكَلَ آدَمُ مِنْهَا اِثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ حَبَّةً وَ أَكَلَتْ حَوَّاءُ سِتّاً فَلِذَلِكَ صَارَ اَلْمِيرَاثُ "لِلذَّكَرِ مِثْلُ حَظِّ اَلْأُنْثَيَيْنِ" ".
