5671 - وَ رَوَى اَلْحَسَنُ بْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنِ اَلْعَلاَءِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ : سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يَتَزَوَّجُ اَلْمَرْأَةَ ثُمَّ يَمُوتُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ بِهَا فَقَالَ "لَهَا اَلْمِيرَاثُ كَامِلاً وَ عَلَيْهَا اَلْعِدَّةُ أَرْبَعَةُ أَشْهُرٍ وَ عَشْراً وَ إِنْ كَانَ سَمَّى لَهَا مَهْراً يَعْنِي صَدَاقاً فَلَهَا نِصْفُهُ وَ إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ سَمَّى لَهَا مَهْراً فَلاَ مَهْرَ لَهَا".

Hadith.5671 - Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub narrated from Al-Ala, from Muhammad ibn Muslim, from Abu Jafar Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as), who said: I asked Imam (as) about a man who marries a woman and then dies before consummating the marriage with her. Imam (as) said: "She is entitled to the full inheritance, and she must observe the waiting period (iddah) of four months and ten days. If he had specified a dowry (mahr) for her, she is entitled to half of it. However, if he had not specified a dowry, then she is not entitled to any dowry."

Imam (as) said: "She is not entitled to a dowry (ṣadaq), but she inherits from him."
