"عَنْ عبدِ الرحمَن بن أَبِى الزِّنادِ قَالَ: أَخَذَ أَبو الزِّناد هذِه الرسالَة مِنْ خارجةَ بْنِ زَيْدِ بنِ ثابتٍ وَمِنْ كُبَرَاءِ آلِ زَيدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ: "بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحيمِ، لِعبْد اللهِ معاويَة أَميرِ المؤمنين من زيدِ بن ثابِت: إِنِّى رأَيْتُ مِنْ نحْوِ قَسْم أَمير المؤمنين عُمَرَ بينَ الجدِّ والإِخوة مِنَ الأبِ، إِذَا كَانَ أَخًا واحِدًا ذكرًا مع الجدِّ قُسم ما ورثا بينهما شطرين، فإِن كَانَ مع الجد أُختٌ واحِدَةٌ قسم لها الثلُثُ، فإِن كانتا أخْتَيْنِ مَعَ الْجد قسم لهُما الشطر، وللجدِّ الشطر، فَإِنْ كَانَ معَ الجد أَخوان فَإِنَهُ يقْسمُ للجد الثلث، فَإِن كانوا أَكثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ فإِنِّى لمْ أَره حسبت ينْقُص الجد من الثلث (شيئًا، ثُمَّ ما خلص للإِخوة مِنْ ميراث أَخيهِمْ بعد الجد فإِنَّ بنى الأب والأُم هم أَوْلَى بعضهم من بعض بما فرض الله لهم دون بنى العلة؛ فلذلك حسبت) نَحْوا من الذى كان عمر أَمير المؤمنين يقسم بين الجد (والإخوة من الأب، ولم يكن يورث الإخوة من الأم الذين ليسوا من الأب مع الجد) شيئًا، ثم حسبت أَمير المؤمنين عثمان بن عفان كان يقسم بين الجدّ والإخوة نحو الذى كتبت به إليك في هذه الصحيفة".

"'Abd al-Rahman ibn Abi al-Zinad said: Abu al-Zinad took this letter from Kharijah ibn Zayd ibn Thabit and from the elders of the family of Zayd ibn Thabit: "In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. To 'Abdullah Mu'awiyah, Commander of the Believers, from Zayd ibn Thabit: I have seen, regarding the division of 'Umar, Commander of the Believers, between the grandfather and the paternal brothers, that if there is one male brother with the grandfather, what they inherit is divided between them into two halves. If there is one sister with the grandfather, she is given a third. If there are two sisters with the grandfather, they are given two-thirds... and the grandfather takes the remaining share. If there are two brothers with the grandfather, the grandfather is given a third. If there are more than that, I have not seen that the grandfather's share is reduced below a third. Then whatever remains of the inheritance of their brother after the grandfather goes to the brothers, and the full brothers have priority over one another by what Allah has ordained for them, to the exclusion of the half-blood brothers; for this reason I calculated [the share] approximately as what 'Umar, Commander of the Believers, used to divide between the grandfather and the paternal brothers, and the maternal brothers who are not paternal were not given an inheritance alongside the grandfather. Then I calculated that 'Uthman ibn 'Affan, Commander of the Believers, used to divide between the grandfather and the brothers in the manner I have written to you in this document.""
