Hadith 770
۞
Hadith.5728 - Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub narrated from Ali ibn Ri'ab from Abu Basir who said
I asked Abu Jafar Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) about a Muslim man who died and had a Christian mother, along with a Muslim wife and Muslim children.
Imam (as) said: "If his mother accepts Islam before the inheritance is divided, she is given one-sixth."
I asked: "What if he has no wife, no children, and no heir entitled to a share in the Book from among the Muslims, and his mother is Christian, and his relatives are Christians who would have a share in the Book if they were Muslim - who inherits his wealth?"
Imam (as) said: "If his mother embraces Islam, then all of his inheritance belongs to her. But if his mother does not embrace Islam and some of his relatives who have a rightful share in the Book accept Islam, the inheritance goes to them. If none of his relatives become Muslim, then his inheritance belongs to the Imam."

سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مُسْلِمٍ مَاتَ وَ لَهُ أُمٌّ نَصْرَانِيَّةٌ وَ لَهُ زَوْجَةٌ وَ وُلْدٌ مُسْلِمُونَ فَقَالَ "إِنْ أَسْلَمَتْ أُمُّهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُقْسَمَ مِيرَاثُهُ أُعْطِيَتِ اَلسُّدُسَ" قُلْتُ فَإِنْ لَمْ تَكُنْ لَهُ اِمْرَأَةٌ وَ لاَ وَلَدٌ وَ لاَ وَارِثٌ لَهُ سَهْمٌ فِي اَلْكِتَابِ مِنَ اَلْمُسْلِمِينَ وَ أُمُّهُ نَصْرَانِيَّةٌ وَ قَرَابَتُهُ نَصَارَى مِمَّنْ لَهُمْ سَهْمٌ فِي اَلْكِتَابِ لَوْ كَانُوا مُسْلِمِينَ لِمَنْ يَكُونُ مِيرَاثُهُ قَالَ "إِنْ أَسْلَمَتْ أُمُّهُ فَإِنَّ جَمِيعَ مِيرَاثِهِ لَهَا وَ إِنْ لَمْ تُسْلِمْ أُمُّهُ وَ أَسْلَمَ بَعْضُ قَرَابَتِهِ مِمَّنْ لَهُ سَهْمٌ فِي اَلْكِتَابِ فَإِنَّ مِيرَاثَهُ لَهُ وَ إِنْ لَمْ يُسْلِمْ مِنْ قَرَابَتِهِ أَحَدٌ فَإِنَّ مِيرَاثَهُ لِلْإِمَامِ".
