حَدَّثَنَا يَعْلَى بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ : فِي الرَّجُلِ يَمُوتُ وَيَتْرُكُ مُكَاتَبًا، وَلَهُ بَنُونَ وَبَنَاتٌ، أَيَكُونُ لِلنِّسَاءِ مِنْ الْوَلَاءِ شَيْءٌ؟ قَالَ :" تَرِثُ النِّسَاءُ مِمَّا عَلَى ظَهْرِهِ مِنْ مُكَاتَبَتِهِ، وَيَكُونُ الْوَلَاءُ لِلرِّجَالِ دُونَ النِّسَاءِ، إِلَّا مَا كَاتَبْنَ، أَوْ أَعْتَقْنَ "

Ya’la bin Ubaid told us, Abdul Malik told us, about Ata’: In a man who dies and leaves office, and he has sons and daughters, is it for the women? Is there any loyalty? He said: “The women inherit from what is written on his back, and allegiance is to the men and not to the women, unless they write to him or are emancipated.”
