حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ ابْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، عَنْ وَكِيعٍ ، قَالَ : إِذَا كَانَا أَخَوَيْنِ، فَادَّعَى أَحَدُهُمَا أَخًا وَأَنْكَرَهُ الْآخَرُ؟ قَالَ : كَانَ ابْنُ أَبِي لَيْلَى ، يَقُولُ :" هِيَ مِنْ سِتَّةٍ : لِلَّذِي لَمْ يَدَّعِ ثَلَاثَةٌ، وَلِلْمُدَّعِي سَهْمَانِ، وَلِلْمُدَّعَى سَهْمٌ "

Abu Bakr Ibn Abi Shaybah told us, on the authority of Waki’, who said: If they were brothers, and one of them claimed to be a brother and the other denied it? He said: Ibn Abi Laila used to say: “It is out of six: for the one who did not claim three, for the plaintiff two shares, and for the plaintiff one share.”
