1- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ جَمِيلٍ وَهِشَامٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) أَنَّهُ قَالَ فِيمَا رَوَى النَّاسُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) أَنَّهُ قَالَ لا يَتَوَارَثُ أَهْلُ مِلَّتَيْنِ فَقَالَ نَرِثُهُمْ وَلا يَرِثُونَّا لأنَّ الإسْلامَ لَمْ يَزِدْهُ فِي حَقِّهِ إِلا شِدَّةً.

1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Jamil from Hisham who has narrated the following: “This is about what is narrated from the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause. He (the Messenger of Allah) has said that people of two religions do not inherit from each other. Abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘We inherit from them but they cannot inherit from us because al-Islam has not increased anything in his favor except sternness.’”

5- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ صَالِحٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ الْمُسْلِمُ يَحْجُبُ الْكَافِرَ وَيَرِثُهُ وَالْكَافِرُ لا يَحْجُبُ الْمُؤْمِنَ وَلا يَرِثُهُ.
