1. Muhammad ibn ’Isma‘il has narrated from al-Fadl ibn Shadhan and abu Ali al-Ash‘ariy has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al- Jabbar all from Safwan ibn Yahya from ‘Abd Allah ibn Muskan from Ishaq al-Fazariy who has narrated the following
“Once abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), was asked, when I was with him, about the case of a newborn who is not a male or female but there is only the anus and how to deal with the inheritance of such person. He (the Imam) said, ‘The Imam and people come in a gathering, pray to Allah then arrange a raffle to see the name of which sex comes and deal with the case according to the result of the raffle. No other means is as fair as raffle; Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, has said, ‘They cast raffle and he lost in the raffle.’” (37:141)
1- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ شَاذَانَ وَأَبُو عَلِيٍّ الأشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ جَمِيعاً عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مُسْكَانَ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ الْفَزَارِيِّ قَالَ
سُئِلَ وَأَنَا عِنْدَهُ يَعْنِي أَبَا عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) عَنْ مَوْلُودٍ وُلِدَ وَلَيْسَ بِذَكَرٍ وَلا أُنْثَى وَلَيْسَ لَهُ إِلا دُبُرٌ كَيْفَ يُوَرَّثُ قَالَ يَجْلِسُ الإمَامُ وَيَجْلِسُ مَعَهُ نَاسٌ فَيَدْعُو اللهَ وَيُجِيلُ السِّهَامَ عَلَى أَيِّ مِيرَاثٍ يُوَرَّثُ مِيرَاثِ الذَّكَرِ أَوْ مِيرَاثِ الأنْثَى فَأَيُّ ذَلِكَ خَرَجَ وَرَّثَهُ عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ وَأَيُّ قَضِيَّةٍ أَعْدَلُ مِنْ قَضِيَّةٍ يُجَالُ عَلَيْهَا بِالسِّهَامِ إِنَّ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يَقُولُ فَساهَمَ فَكانَ مِنَ الْمُدْحَضِينَ.
