Hadith 26:481

Waki’ narrated to us, he said: Sufyan narrated from a man whom he would not name, from Abu Salamah and Sa’id ibn al-Musayyib, regarding a man who enters into a *kitabah* (emancipation contract) with his slave, then dies and leaves behind children, both men and women. They both said: The wealth is [divided] among them according to their shares, and the *wala’* (right of inheritance/patronage) belongs to the men to the exclusion of the women.

حدثنا وكيع قال سفيان عن رجل لم يكن يسميه عن أبي سلمة وسعيد بن المسيب في الرجل يكاتب عبده ثم يموت ويدع ولدا رجالا ونساء قالا المال بينهم بالحصص والولاء للرجل دون النساء
