"Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) used to make the paternal brother inherit alongside the grandfather, placing him in the same position as the grandfather."

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that ’ Amir al-Mu’minin would say, ‘An heir who has an ordained share is more deserving of the legacy.’”

Hadith.5734 - In the narration of Ibn Muskan from Sulayman ibn Khalid, Abu Abdullah (as) said: "When a man died and had a slave woman as his wife, Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) would purchase her from his wealth, free her, and then grant her inheritance."

"Indeed, in the Book of Ali (as), it is written that 'the maternal siblings inherit one-third along with the grandfather.'"

“About the case of a man who leaves behind brothers from his mother with a grandfather, abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘The ordained shares of brothers from one’s mother is one-third if a grandfather is with them.’”

Hadith.5731 - Abu Abdullah Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) said that Commander of the Faithful (as) used to say regarding a free man who dies while his mother is a slave: "She should be purchased from the wealth of her son, then freed, and then she will inherit from him."

"To whom does his blood money (diyyah) go?" Imam (as) said: "It is taken and placed in the treasury (Bayt Al-Mal) of the Muslims because his liability falls upon the treasury of the Muslims."

“Abu ‘Abd Allah, Alayhi al-Salam, has said, ‘When a man dies, his sword, ring, holy book, his books, his personal belongings, his stumper and clothes belong to his eldest son and if the eldest among his children is a girl then such items belong to the next eldest son.’”

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that about the case of a free man who dies and leaves behind his mother who is owned by someone, Amir al-Mu’minin would say, ‘She is bought with the legacy of her son, then is set free and made to inherit her son.’”

“’Amir al-Mu’minin (a.s.), issued a judgment about the wergild of one slain that the heirs inherit from it according to the book of Allah their shares if there is no debt on the deceased except the brothers and sisters from the mother’s side who do not inherit from the wergild anything.’”

One of our companions wrote to Abu Ja'far Al-Thani (as) through me, asking Imam (as) about a man who committed adultery with a woman, and she became pregnant. Later, he married her after the pregnancy, and she gave birth to a child who resembled him more than anyone else in creation. Imam (as) wrote back in his own handwriting and with his seal: "The child is the result of fornication and does not inherit."

"The Commander of the Faithful (as) ruled regarding the blood money (diyyah) of a murdered person that it is to be inherited by the heirs according to the Book of Allah (swt), the Exalted, and according to their prescribed shares, provided the murdered person has no outstanding debt. However, the maternal brothers and sisters do not inherit anything from the blood money."

“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about the case of a man who has said that this ship belongs to so and so but has not identified its contents. There is food in it; if the ship with its content must be given to him. He (the Imam) said, ‘It belongs to him except; if its owner is accused (of wrong-doing) and the heirs do not have anything.’”

“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about the slave who is freed in the manner of Sa’ibah (unconditionally freed slave). He (the Imam) said, ‘He is free to choose a guardian whoever he likes to bail out his liabilities due to crime and then inherit his legacy. ’I then asked, ‘What happens if he remains quiet until he dies?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘His legacy is placed in the treasury of the Muslims.’”

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that ’ Amir al-Mu’minin, about the case of a free man who dies leaving behind his mother who is owned by someone, has said that she is bought with money from the legacy of her son, then is set free and then she is made to inherit him.’”

"He is given a choice between two options. It is said to him: 'If you wish, you can accept the blame upon yourself, in which case the prescribed punishment (ḥadd) will be carried out on you, and you will be entitled to her inheritance. However, if you choose to admit to your accusation, you must perform liʿan (mutual cursing) with her closest living relative, and in that case, you will not inherit from her.'"

"He is given a choice between two options. It is said to him: If you wish, you can admit to the sin, in which case the legal punishment (hadd) will be carried out upon you, and you will receive her inheritance. Or, if you wish, you may affirm your accusation and perform mula'anah (mutual cursing) with her closest living relative, and in that case, you will have no share in her inheritance."

“About the case of a man who forms Mula ‘anah against his wife and denies her child, then calls himself a liar after forming Mula ‘anah and thinks that the child is his child; if the child can be returned to him, abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘The child is returned to him. The child is not called his child, he does not leave any legacy for him (father) and the woman is not lawful for him forever.’ I then asked him (the Imam) about who inherits the child. He (the Imam) said, ‘His maternal uncles inherit him.’ I then asked, ‘What happens if the child’s mother dies and the child inherits her, then the child dies: who then inherits him?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘The relatives of his mother inherit him.’ I then asked, ‘Can he inherit his maternal uncles? He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, he can do so.’”

I used to attend at Ibn Abi Layla with regards to inheritance, and he used to push me. When that had (lasted for a) prolonged (time), I complained about him to Ja’far ibn Muhammed, peace be upon them both, so he said: Does he not know that the Messenger of Allah, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, ordered for the return of the restrained and the fulfilment of inheritance? He said: Then I went to him, and he did what he used to do, so I said to him: I complained about you to Ja’far bin Muhammed, peace be upon them both, and he said to me such-and-such. Then Ibn Abi Layla made me swear that he said that, so I swore to him, and he ruled to my favor in that (case).

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that in the time of ’ Amir al-Mu’minin a child was bom with two heads and two chests on one groin. ’ Amir al-Mu’minin was asked about it; if the child receives inheritance for one or for two. He (the Imam) said, ‘The child must be allowed to sleep then called to wake up. If both wake up at the same time the share of inheritance is one share but if one wakes up and the other remains sleeping it then is two shares of inheritance.’” A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Khalid from his father from al-Qasim ibn Muhammad ibn Muhammad al-Jawhariy from Hariz ibn ‘Abd Allah a similar Hadith.
