Meaning: the sixth · Also translated as: a sixth
السدس: جزء من ستة، قال تعالى: فلأمه السدس [النساء/ 11] ، والسدس في الإظماء، وست أصله سدس ، وسدست القوم: صرت سادسهم، وأخذت سدس أموالهم، وجاء سادسا، وساتا، وساديا بمعنى، قال تعالى:
السين والدال والسين أصل في العدد، وهو قولهم السدس: جزء من ستة أجزاء. وإزار سديس، أي سداسي. والسدس من الورد في أظماء الإبل: أن تنقطع الإبل عن الورد خمسة أيام وترد السادس. وأسدس البعير، إذا ألقى السن بعد الرباعية، وذلك في السنة الثامنة. فأما الستة فمن هذا أيضا غير أنها مدغمة، كأنها سدسة.
Verses 1–2 of 2
God (thus) directs you As regards your children's (Inheritance): to the male, A portion equal to that Of two females: if only Daughters, two or more, Their share is two-thirds Of the inheritance; If only one, her share Is a half. For parents, a sixth share Of the inheritance to each, If the deceased left children; If no children, and the parents Are the (only) heirs, the mother Has a third; if the deceased Left brothers (or sisters) The mother has a sixth. (The distribution in all cases Is) after the payment Of legacies and debts. Ye know not whether Your parents or your children Are nearest to you In benefit. These are Settled portions ordained By God; and God is All-knowing, All-wise.
Surah An-Nisa, verse 4:11In what your wives leave, Your share is a half, If they leave no child; But if they leave a child, Ye get a fourth; after payment Of legacies and debts. In what ye leave, Their share is a fourth, If ye leave no child; But if ye leave a child, They get an eighth; after payment Of legacies and debts. If the man or woman Whose inheritance is in question, Has left neither ascendants nor descendants, But has left a brother Or a sister, each one of the two Gets a sixth; but if more Than two, they share in a third; After payment of legacies And debts; so that no loss Is caused (to any one). Thus is it ordained by God; And God is All-knowing, Most Forbearing.
Surah An-Nisa, verse 4:12
