Hadith 488
۞
7. Through the same chain of narrators as that of the previous Hadith the following is narrated from Aban ibn ‘Uthman from ‘Ubayd ibn Zurarah and Fadl ibn al-‘Abbas who have said the following
“Once we asked abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), about the case of a man who marries a woman and then dies. He has set mahr (dower) for her. He (the Imam) said, ’She deserve one-half of the mahr (dower) and complete inheritance. If she dies the same rule applies in her favor.’”
وَ بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنْ أَبَانِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ زُرَارَةَ وَ فَضْلٍ أَبِي الْعَبَّاسِ قَالَا قُلْنَا لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) مَا تَقُولُ
فِي رَجُلٍ تَزَوَّجَ امْرَأَةً ثُمَّ مَاتَ عَنْهَا وَ قَدْ فَرَضَ لَهَا الصَّدَاقَ فَقَالَ لَهَا نِصْفُ الصَّدَاقِ وَ تَرِثُهُ مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَ إِنْ مَاتَتْ فَهِيَ كَذَلِكَ.
