Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

The Necessity of Surrendering the Inheritance According to the Portions that Allah OrdainedSa`id bin Jubayr and Qatadah said, "The idolators used to give adult men a share of inheritance and deprive women and children of it. Allah revealed;لِّلرِّجَالِ نَصيِبٌ مِّمَّا تَرَكَ الْوَلِدَنِ وَالاٌّقْرَبُونَ(There is a share for men from what is left by parents and those nearest in relation).
