Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Muhassin ibn Ahmad from Aban ibn ‘Uthman from Fadl abu al-‘Abbas al-Baqbaq who has narrated the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about the case of both parents and two sisters from both parents; if they bar the mother from one-third of the legacy.

He (the Imam) said, ‘No, they do not do so.’ I then asked, ‘What happens if they are three?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘No, they do not do so.’ I then asked, ‘What happens if they are four?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, they bar her from one-third.’” جهول - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (23/141))
