قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) تَرِثُ الْمَرْأَةُ مِنَ الطُّوبِ وَ لَا تَرِثُ مِنَ الرِّبَاعِ شَيْئاً قَالَ قُلْتُ كَيْفَ تَرِثُ مِنَ الْفَرْعِ وَ لَا تَرِثُ مِنَ الْأَصْلِ شَيْئاً فَقَالَ لِي لَيْسَ لَهَا مِنْهُمْ نَسَبٌ تَرِثُ بِهِ وَ إِنَّمَا هِيَ دَخِيلٌ عَلَيْهِمْ فَتَرِثُ مِنَ الْفَرْعِ وَ لَا تَرِثُ مِنَ الْأَصْلِ وَ لَا يَدْخُلُ عَلَيْهِمْ دَاخِلٌ بِسَبَبِهَا .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Al A’ala, from Muhammad Bin Muslim who said, ‘Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘The woman (widow) does inherit from the bricks and does not inherit anything from the land’. I said, ‘How comes she inherits from the branches and does not inherit anything from the roots?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said to me: ‘There is no lineage for her from them to inherit by. But rather, she has entered (from being an outsider) upon them, so she inherits from the branches and does not inherit from the roots, and an outsider is not to be included upon them by the cause of it’.
