سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنِ النِّسَاءِ هَلْ يَرِثْنَ الْأَرْضَ فَقَالَ لَا وَ لَكِنْ يَرِثْنَ قِيمَةَ الْبِنَاءِ قَالَ قُلْتُ فَإِنَّ النَّاسَ لَا يَرْضَوْنَ بِذَا فَقَالَ إِذَا وُلِّينَا فَلَمْ يَرْضَوْا ضَرَبْنَاهُمْ بِالسَّوْطِ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَسْتَقِيمُوا ضَرَبْنَاهُمْ بِالسَّيْفِ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from Muhammad Bin Isa, from Yunus, from Yahya Al Halby, from Shuayb, from Yazeed Al Saig who said, ‘I asked Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> about the women, would they inherit the land?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘No, but they would inherit the value of the construction’. I said, ‘But the people would not be happy with that’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘When we<sup>asws</sup> rule, and if they are not pleased, we<sup>asws</sup> would strike them with the whip. So if they are (still) not straightened, we<sup>asws</sup> would strike them with the sword’.
