Hadith 381
۞
5. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Ali ibn al-Hakam from al-‘Ala’ from Muhammad ibn Muslim who has narrated the following
“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘A woman inherits from bricks but does not inherit from residence anything.’ I then asked, ‘How is it that she inherits from branches but not from the roots?’ He (the Imam) said to me, ‘She does not have lineage because of which she can inherit. She is an addition to them thus she inherits from branches and not from the roots and no addition is made to them because of her.’”
5- عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنِ الْعَلاءِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ
قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) تَرِثُ الْمَرْأَةُ مِنَ الطُّوبِ وَلا تَرِثُ مِنَ الرِّبَاعِ شَيْئاً قَالَ قُلْتُ كَيْفَ تَرِثُ مِنَ الْفَرْعِ وَلا تَرِثُ مِنَ الأصْلِ شَيْئاً فَقَالَ لِي لَيْسَ لَهَا مِنْهُمْ نَسَبٌ تَرِثُ بِهِ وَإِنَّمَا هِيَ دَخِيلٌ عَلَيْهِمْ فَتَرِثُ مِنَ الْفَرْعِ وَلا تَرِثُ مِنَ الأصْلِ وَلا يَدْخُلُ عَلَيْهِمْ دَاخِلٌ بِسَبَبِهَا.
