Man Lā Yaḥḍuruh al-Faqīh

الْمَجُوسُ يَرِثُونَ بِالنَّسَبِ وَ لَا يَرِثُونَ بِالنِّكَاحِ الْفَاسِدِ فَإِنْ مَاتَ مَجُوسِيٌّ وَ تَرَكَ أُمَّهُ وَ هِيَ أُخْتُهُ وَ هِيَ امْرَأَتُهُ فَالْمَالُ لَهَا مِنْ قِبَلِ أَنَّهَا أُمٌّ وَ لَيْسَ لَهَا مِنْ قِبَلِ أَنَّهَا أُخْتٌ وَ أَنَّهَا زَوْجَةٌ شَيْ‌ءٌ.

The Magians (Zoroastrians) inherit through blood relations but not through invalid marriage. So, if a Magian man dies and leaves behind his mother, who is also his sister and his wife, the inheritance goes to her because she is his mother. However, she does not inherit anything by virtue of being his sister or his wife.

5758 - وَ رَوَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ اَلْكُوفِيُّ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ عِمْرَانَ اَلنَّخَعِيِّ عَنْ عَمِّهِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ سَالِمٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ : سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ كَيْفَ صَارَ اَلْمِيرَاثُ "لِلذَّكَرِ مِثْلُ حَظِّ اَلْأُنْثَيَيْنِ" فَقَالَ "لِأَنَّ اَلْحَبَّاتِ اَلَّتِي أَكَلَهَا آدَمُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ وَ حَوَّاءُ فِي اَلْجَنَّةِ كَانَتْ ثَمَانِيَ عَشْرَةَ حَبَّةً أَكَلَ آدَمُ مِنْهَا اِثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ حَبَّةً وَ أَكَلَتْ حَوَّاءُ سِتّاً فَلِذَلِكَ صَارَ اَلْمِيرَاثُ "لِلذَّكَرِ مِثْلُ حَظِّ اَلْأُنْثَيَيْنِ" ".

Hadith.5758 - Muhammad ibn Abi Abdullah Al-Kufi narrated from Musa ibn ʿImran Al-Nakhaʿi from his uncle Al-Husayn ibn Yazid from Ali ibn Salim from his father, who said: "I asked Abu Abdullah (as), 'Why is the inheritance for the male equal to the share of two females?' Imam (as) replied: 'Because the grains that Adam (as) and Hawwaʾ ate in Paradise were eighteen grains. Adam ate twelve of them, and Hawwaʾ ate six. For this reason, the inheritance is for the male equal to the share of two females.'"

5745 - وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ اَلسَّكُونِيِّ : "أَنَّ عَلِيّاً عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ كَانَ يُوَرِّثُ اَلْمَجُوسِيَّ إِذَا تَزَوَّجَ بِأُمِّهِ وَ بِأُخْتِهِ وَ بِابْنَتِهِ مِنْ وَجْهَيْنِ مِنْ وَجْهِ أَنَّهَا أُمُّهُ وَ مِنْ وَجْهِ أَنَّهَا زَوْجَتُهُ".

Hadith.5745 - In the narration of Al-Sakuni: " Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) used to grant inheritance to a Magian who married his mother, sister, or daughter from two aspects - one being that she was his mother, and the other that she was his wife."

5746 - رَوَى حَمَّادُ بْنُ عِيسَى عَنْ رِبْعِيِّ بْنِ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ : "إِذَا مَاتَ اَلرَّجُلُ فَسَيْفُهُ وَ مُصْحَفُهُ وَ خَاتَمُهُ وَ كُتُبُهُ وَ رَحْلُهُ وَ كِسْوَتُهُ لِأَكْبَرِ وُلْدِهِ فَإِنْ كَانَ اَلْأَكْبَرُ اِبْنَةً فَلِلْأَكْبَرِ مِنَ اَلذُّكُورِ ".

Hadith.5746 - Hammad ibn Isa narrated from Rabiʿ ibn Abdullah from Abu Abdullah Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) who said: "When a man dies, his sword, his Qur'an, his ring, his books, his saddle, and his clothing belong to his eldest child. If the eldest is a daughter, then they belong to the eldest of the sons."

5747 - وَ رَوَى حَمَّادُ بْنُ عِيسَى عَنْ شُعَيْبِ بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ : "اَلْمَيِّتُ إِذَا مَاتَ فَإِنَّ لاِبْنِهِ اَلْأَكْبَرِ اَلسَّيْفَ وَ اَلرَّحْلَ وَ اَلثِّيَابَ ثِيَابَ جِلْدِهِ".

Hadith.5747 - Hammad ibn Isa narrated from Shuayb ibn Yaʿqub from Abu Basir from Abu Abdullah Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) who said: "When a man dies, his eldest son inherits the sword, the saddle, and his personal clothing."

5748 - وَ رَوَى عَلِيُّ بْنُ اَلْحَكَمِ عَنْ أَبَانٍ اَلْأَحْمَرِ عَنْ مُيَسِّرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ : سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلنِّسَاءِ مَا لَهُنَّ مِنَ اَلْمِيرَاثِ فَقَالَ "لَهُنَّ قِيمَةُ اَلطُّوبِ وَ اَلْبِنَاءِ وَ اَلْخَشَبِ وَ اَلْقَصَبِ فَأَمَّا اَلْأَرْضُ وَ اَلْعَقَارَاتُ فَلاَ مِيرَاثَ لَهُنَّ فِيهِ" قَالَ قُلْتُ فَالثِّيَابُ قَالَ "اَلثِّيَابُ لَهُنَّ" قَالَ قُلْتُ كَيْفَ صَارَ ذَا وَ لَهُنَّ اَلثُّمُنُ وَ اَلرُّبُعُ مُسَمًّى قَالَ "لِأَنَّ اَلْمَرْأَةَ لَيْسَ لَهَا نَسَبٌ تَرِثُ بِهِ إِنَّمَا هِيَ دَخِيلٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَ إِنَّمَا صَارَ هَذَا هَكَذَا، لِئَلاَّ تَتَزَوَّجَ اَلْمَرْأَةُ فَيَجِيءَ زَوْجُهَا أَوْ وُلْدُ قَوْمٍ آخَرِينَ فَيُزَاحِمَ قَوْماً فِي عَقَارِهِمْ".

Hadith.5748 - Ali ibn Al-Hakam narrated from Aban Al-Ahmar from Muyassir from Abu Abdullah Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) who said: "I asked Imam (as) about women and what share they have in inheritance. Imam (as) said: 'They have the value of bricks, buildings, wood, and reeds, but as for land and properties, they have no inheritance in them.' I said: 'What about clothing?' Imam (as) said: 'Clothing is for them.' I said: 'How is this, while they have a specified share of one-eighth or one-fourth?' Imam (as) said: 'Because a woman has no lineage through which she inherits; she is merely an addition to them. This ruling exists so that a woman does not marry, and then her husband or the children of another people come and compete with others in their properties.'"

5749 - وَ كَتَبَ اَلرِّضَا عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ إِلَى مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ فِيمَا كَتَبَ مِنْ جَوَابِ مَسَائِلِهِ : "عِلَّةُ اَلْمَرْأَةِ أَنَّهَا لاَ تَرِثُ مِنَ اَلْعَقَارَاتِ شَيْئاً إِلاَّ قِيمَةَ اَلطُّوبِ وَ اَلنِّقْضِ لِأَنَّ اَلْعَقَارَ لاَ يُمْكِنُ تَغْيِيرُهُ وَ قَلْبُهُ وَ اَلْمَرْأَةُ قَدْ يَجُوزُ أَنْ يَنْقَطِعَ مَا بَيْنَهَا وَ بَيْنَهُ مِنَ اَلْعِصْمَةِ وَ يَجُوزُ تَغْيِيرُهَا وَ تَبْدِيلُهَا وَ لَيْسَ اَلْوَلَدُ وَ اَلْوَالِدُ كَذَلِكَ لِأَنَّهُ لاَ يُمْكِنُ اَلتَّفَصِّي مِنْهُمَا وَ اَلْمَرْأَةُ يُمْكِنُ اَلاِسْتِبْدَالُ بِهَا فَمَا يَجُوزُ أَنْ يَجِيءَ وَ يَذْهَبَ كَانَ مِيرَاثُهُ فِيمَا يَجُوزُ تَبْدِيلُهُ وَ تَغْيِيرُهُ إِذْ أَشْبَهَهُمَا وَ كَانَ اَلثَّابِتُ اَلْمُقِيمُ عَلَى حَالِهِ كَمَنْ كَانَ مِثْلَهُ فِي اَلثَّبَاتِ وَ اَلْقِيَامِ".

Hadith.5749 - Imam Ali ibn Musa Ar-Ridha (as) wrote to Muhammad ibn Sinan in response to his questions: "The reason why a woman does not inherit anything from real estate except for the value of bricks and demolition materials is because real estate cannot be altered or transformed. A woman may experience a severance of the marital bond, and she herself may change or be replaced. However, a child and a parent are not like that, for separation from them is not possible. A woman, on the other hand, can be replaced. Therefore, what is subject to coming and going, her inheritance is in what can be altered and changed, as it resembles her nature. What is permanent and remains as it is belongs to those who are similar in stability and permanence."

5750 - وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنِ اَلْأَحْوَلِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ : "لاَ يَرِثْنَ اَلنِّسَاءُ مِنَ اَلْعَقَارِ شَيْئاً وَ لَهُنَّ قِيمَةُ اَلْبِنَاءِ وَ اَلشَّجَرِ وَ اَلنَّخْلِ".

Hadith.5750 - In the narration of Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub from Al-Ahwal from Abu Abdullah Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as), he said: "I heard Imam (as) say: 'Women do not inherit anything from real estate, but they are entitled to the value of buildings, trees, and palm trees.'"

5751 - وَ رَوَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ اَلْوَلِيدِ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ : "إِنَّمَا جُعِلَ لِلْمَرْأَةِ قِيمَةُ اَلْخَشَبِ وَ اَلطُّوبِ لِئَلاَّ تَتَزَوَّجَ فَتُدْخِلَ عَلَيْهِمْ مَنْ يُفْسِدُ مَوَارِيثَهُمْ ".

Hadith.5751 - Muhammad ibn Al-Walid narrated from Hammad ibn Uthman from Abu Abdullah Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) who said: "The woman was only given the value of wood and bricks so that she does not marry and bring into the family someone who would corrupt their inheritance."

5752 - وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ رِئَابٍ وَ خَطَّابٍ أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ اَلْهَمْدَانِيِّ عَنْ طِرْبَالٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ : "إِنَّ اَلْمَرْأَةَ لاَ تَرِثُ مِمَّا تَرَكَ زَوْجُهَا مِنَ اَلْقُرَى وَ اَلدُّورِ وَ اَلسِّلاَحِ وَ اَلدَّوَابِّ وَ تَرِثُ مِنَ اَلْمَالِ وَ اَلرَّقِيقِ وَ اَلثِّيَابِ وَ مَتَاعِ اَلْبَيْتِ مِمَّا تَرَكَ" فَقَالَ "وَ يُقَوَّمُ نِقْضُ اَلْأَجْذَاعِ وَ اَلْقَصَبِ وَ اَلْأَبْوَابِ فَتُعْطَى حَقَّهَا مِنْهُ".

Hadith.5752 - In the narration of Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub from Ali ibn Riʾab and Khaṭṭab Abu Muhammad Al-Hamdani from Ṭirbal from Abu Jafar Imam Al-Baqir (as), he said: "A woman does not inherit from what her husband leaves behind of villages, houses, weapons, or animals. However, she inherits from money, slaves, clothing, and household items that he leaves behind." Imam (as) then said: "The dismantled parts of palm trunks, reeds, and doors are evaluated, and she is given her rightful share from that."

5753 - وَ رَوَى أَبَانٌ عَنِ اَلْفَضْلِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اَلْمَلِكِ أَوِ اِبْنِ أَبِي يَعْفُورٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ : سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ هَلْ يَرِثُ دَارَ اِمْرَأَتِهِ وَ أَرْضَهَا مِنَ اَلتُّرْبَةِ شَيْئاً أَوْ يَكُونُ فِي ذَلِكَ بِمَنْزِلَةِ اَلْمَرْأَةِ فَلاَ يَرِثُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ شَيْئاً فَقَالَ "يَرِثُهَا وَ تَرِثُهُ مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ تَرَكَ وَ تَرَكَتْ".

Hadith.5753 - Aban narrated from Al-Faḍl ibn Abd Al-Malik or Ibn Abi Yaʿfur from Abu Abdullah (as) who said: "I asked Imam (as) about a man - does he inherit his wife's house and land from the soil, or is he like the woman who does not inherit anything from that?" Imam (as) replied: "He inherits from her, and she inherits from him, from everything either of them leaves behind."

5754 - مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنِ اِبْنِ أُذَيْنَةَ : "فِي اَلنِّسَاءِ إِذَا كَانَ لَهُنَّ وَلَدٌ أُعْطِينَ مِنَ اَلرِّبَاعِ ".

Hadith.5754 - Muhammad ibn Abi Umayr narrated from Ibn Udhayna: "In the case of women, if they have a child, they are given from the inheritance of property."

5755 - وَ كَتَبَ اَلرِّضَا عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ إِلَى مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ فِيمَا كَتَبَ مِنْ جَوَابِ مَسَائِلِهِ: "عِلَّةُ إِعْطَاءِ اَلنِّسَاءِ نِصْفَ مَا يُعْطَى اَلرِّجَالَ مِنَ اَلْمِيرَاثِ لِأَنَّ اَلْمَرْأَةَ إِذَا تَزَوَّجَتْ أَخَذَتْ وَ اَلرَّجُلُ يُعْطِي فَلِذَلِكَ وُفِّرَ عَلَى اَلرِّجَالِ". وَ عِلَّةٌ أُخْرَى فِي إِعْطَاءِ الذَّكَرِ مِثْلَيْ مَا تُعْطَى الْأُنْثَى لِأَنَّ الْأُنْثَى فِي عِيَالِ الذَّكَرِ إِنِ احْتَاجَتْ وَ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يَعُولَهَا وَ عَلَيْهِ نَفَقَتُهَا وَ لَيْسَ عَلَى الْمَرْأَةِ أَنْ تَعُولَ الرَّجُلَ وَ لَا تُؤْخَذُ بِنَفَقَتِهِ إِنِ احْتَاجَ فَوُفِّرَ عَلَى الرَّجُلِ لِذَلِكَ وَ ذَلِكَ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ ۝ الرِّجالُ قَوَّامُونَ عَلَى النِّساءِ بِما فَضَّلَ اللَّهُ بَعْضَهُمْ عَلى‌ بَعْضٍ وَ بِما أَنْفَقُوا مِنْ أَمْوالِهِمْ‌ ۝

Hadith.5755 - Imam Ali ibn Musa Ar-Ridha (as) wrote to Muhammad ibn Sinan in response to his questions: "The reason women are given half of what men receive from inheritance is because when a woman marries, she receives, whereas a man gives. Therefore, more has been allocated to men." Imam (as) continued: "Another reason for giving the male twice as much as the female is that the female is under the care of the male if she is in need, and it is his responsibility to support her and provide for her. However, a woman is not required to support a man, nor is she responsible for his expenses if he is in need. Therefore, more has been allocated to the man for this reason. This is in accordance with the saying of Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic: 'Men are the protectors and maintainers of women because Allah (swt) has given one more (strength) than the other and because they spend from their wealth.'" (Surah An-Nisa 4:34).

5756 - وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ حَمْدَانَ بْنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ عَنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ اَلْوَلِيدِ عَنِ اِبْنِ بُكَيْرٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ قَالَ : قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ لِأَيِّ عِلَّةٍ صَارَ اَلْمِيرَاثُ "لِلذَّكَرِ مِثْلُ حَظِّ اَلْأُنْثَيَيْنِ" قَالَ "لِمَا جَعَلَ اَللَّهُ لَهَا مِنَ اَلصَّدَاقِ".

Hadith.5756 - In the narration of Hamdan ibn Al-Husayn from Al-Husayn ibn Al-Walid from Ibn Bukayr from Abdullah ibn Sinan, he said: "I asked Abu Abdullah (as), 'For what reason is the inheritance for the male equal to the share of two females?' Imam (as) replied: 'Because Allah (swt) has allocated the dowry (ṣadaq) for her.'"

5757 - وَ رَوَى اِبْنُ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ هِشَامٍ : أَنَّ اِبْنَ أَبِي اَلْعَوْجَاءِ قَالَ -: لِمُحَمَّدِ بْنِ اَلنُّعْمَانِ اَلْأَحْوَلِ مَا بَالُ اَلْمَرْأَةِ اَلضَّعِيفَةِ لَهَا سَهْمٌ وَاحِدٌ وَ لِلرَّجُلِ اَلْقَوِيِّ اَلْمُوسِرِ سَهْمَانِ قَالَ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ فَقَالَ "إِنَّ اَلْمَرْأَةَ لَيْسَ لَهَا عَاقِلَةٌ وَ لاَ عَلَيْهَا نَفَقَةٌ وَ لاَ جِهَادٌ" وَ عَدَّدَ أَشْيَاءَ غَيْرَ هَذَا "وَ هَذَا عَلَى اَلرَّجُلِ فَلِذَلِكَ جُعِلَ لَهُ سَهْمَانِ وَ لَهَا سَهْمٌ".

Hadith.5757 - Ibn Abi Umayr narrated from Hisham that Ibn Abi Al-Awjaʾ said to Muhammad ibn Al-Nuʿman Al-Ahwal: "Why does the weak woman have one share while the strong and wealthy man has two shares?" He said: "I mentioned this to Abu Abdullah (as), and Imam (as) said: 'A woman has no obligation to pay blood money (Aqilah), nor is she responsible for financial maintenance, nor is she required to participate in jihad.'" Imam (as) then listed other responsibilities beyond these and continued; "These obligations are upon the man. Therefore, he was given two shares, and she was given one."

5759 - وَ رَوَى اَلنَّضْرُ بْنُ سُوَيْدٍ عَنْ يَحْيَى اَلْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ بْنِ عَطِيَّةَ اَلْحَذَّاءِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يَقُولُ كَانَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ يَقُولُ : "أَنَا أَوْلَى بِكُلِّ مُؤْمِنٍ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ وَ مَنْ تَرَكَ مَالاً فَلِلْوَارِثِ وَ مَنْ تَرَكَ دَيْناً أَوْ ضَيَاعاً فَإِلَيَّ وَ عَلَيَّ ".

Hadith.5759 - Al-Nadr ibn Suwayd narrated from Yahya Al-Halabi, from Ayyub ibn Atiyyah Al-Hadhdha', who said: I heard Abu Abdullah (as) narrated that the Prophet of Allah (swt) (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) used to say: "I have a greater claim over every believer than his own self. Whoever leaves behind wealth, it is for his heirs, and whoever leaves behind debt or dependents in need, then it is upon me and my responsibility."

5760 - وَ رَوَى إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ اَلسَّكُونِيُّ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ رَحْمَةُ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ يَقُولُ : "إِذَا مَاتَ اَلْمَيِّتُ فِي سَفَرٍ فَلاَ تَكْتُمُوا مَوْتَهُ أَهْلَهُ فَإِنَّهَا أَمَانَةٌ لِعِدَّةِ اِمْرَأَتِهِ تَعْتَدُّ وَ مِيرَاثُهُ يُقْسَمُ بَيْنَ أَهْلِهِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَمُوتَ اَلْمَيِّتُ مِنْهُمْ فَيَذْهَبَ نَصِيبُهُ".

Hadith.5760 - Ismaʿil ibn Muslim Al-Sakuni narrated from Jaf Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) from his father, Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) from Abu Dharr (may Allah (swt) have mercy on him) who said: "I heard the Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) say: 'When a person dies during a journey, do not conceal his death from his family, for it is a trust concerning the waiting period (ʿiddah) of his wife so that she may observe it, and his inheritance can be distributed among his family before any of them dies, causing his share to be lost.'"

5761 - وَ قَالَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : "إِنَّ اَللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى آخَى بَيْنَ اَلْأَرْوَاحِ فِي اَلْأَظِلَّةِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَخْلُقَ اَلْأَجْسَادَ بِأَلْفَيْ عَامٍ فَلَوْ قَدْ قَامَ قَائِمُنَا أَهْلَ اَلْبَيْتِ وَرَّثَ اَلْأَخَ اَلَّذِي آخَى بَيْنَهُمَا فِي اَلْأَظِلَّةِ وَ لَمْ يُوَرِّثِ اَلْأَخَ فِي اَلْوِلاَدَةِ".

Hadith.5761 - Abu Abdullah Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) said: "Indeed, Allah (swt), the Blessed and Exalted, established brotherhood between souls in the realm of shadows (Al-aẓillah) two thousand years before creating bodies. So, when our Qaʾim (Imam Muhammad ibn Hassan Al-Mahdi (as)) from the Ahl Al-Bayt (as) rises, He (as) will give inheritance to the brother with whom brotherhood was established in the realm of shadows and will not give inheritance to the brother through birth."
