CHAPTER 1. The inheritance share of the offspring from the property of their dead fathers and mothers.

8:724 Narrated Ibn ‘Abbâs:

The Prophet said,” Give the Fará ‘Id (the shares of the inheritance that are prescribed in the Qur’an) to those who are entitled to receive it. Then whatever remains, should be given to the closest male relative of the deceased.

CHAPTER 2. The share of inheritance of one’s son’s daughter in the presence of one’s own daughter.

8:728 Narrated Abü Müsa:

that he was asked regarding (the inheritance of) a daughter, a son’s daughter, and a sister. He said, “The daughter will take one-half and the sister will take one-half. If you go to Ibn Mas’üd, he will tell you the same.” Ibn Mas’Ud was asked and was told of Abü Müsa’s verdict. Ibn Mas’üd then said, “If I give the same verdict, I would stray and would not be of the rightly-guided. The verdict I will give in this case, will be the same as the Prophet did, i.e., one-half is for daughter, and one-sixth for the son’s daughter, i.e., both shares make two thirds of the total property; and the rest is for the sister.” Afterwards we came to Abü Müsa and informed him of Ibn Mas’üd’s verdict, whereupon he said, “So, do not ask me for verdicts, as long as this learned man is among you.”

CHAPTER 3. The freed slave belongs to the people who have freed him. And the son of the sister of some people is one of them (belongs to those people).

8:753 Narrated Anas bin Mâlik:

The Prophet said,” The freed slave belongs to the people who have freed him,” (or said something similar.)

8:754 Narrated (Anas bin Mâlik):

The Prophet said, “The son of the sister of some people is from them or from their ownselves.”

CHAPTER 4. Whoever claims to be the son of a person other than his father.

8:758 Narrated Sa’d bin Abi Waqqâs:

I heard the Prophet saying,” Whoever claims to be the son of a person other than his father, and he knows that, that person is not his father, then Paradise is (will be) forbidden for him.” I mentioned that to Abü Bakra, and he said, “My ears heard that, and my heart memorized it from Allah’s Messenger”

8:759 Narrated Abü Huraira:

The Prophet said, “Do not deny your fathers (i.e. claim to be the sons of persons other than your fathers), and whoever denies his father, is charged with disbelief.”
