لَا أَعْلَمُهُ إِلَّا عَنْ مُيَسِّرٍ بَيَّاعِ الزُّطِّيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ النِّسَاءِ مَا لَهُنَّ مِنَ الْمِيرَاثِ قَالَ لَهُنَّ قِيمَةُ الطُّوبِ وَ الْبِنَاءِ وَ الْخَشَبِ وَ الْقَصَبِ وَ أَمَّا الْأَرْضُ وَ الْعَقَارَاتُ فَلَا مِيرَاثَ لَهُنَّ فِيهَا قَالَ قُلْتُ فَالثِّيَابُ قَالَ الثِّيَابُ لَهُنَّ نَصِيبُهُنَّ قَالَ قُلْتُ كَيْفَ صَارَ ذَا وَ لِهَذِهِ الثُّمُنُ وَ لِهَذِهِ الرُّبُعُ مُسَمًّى قَالَ لِأَنَّ الْمَرْأَةَ لَيْسَ لَهَا نَسَبٌ تَرِثُ بِهِ وَ إِنَّمَا هِيَ دَخِيلٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَ إِنَّمَا صَارَ هَذَا كَذَا كَيْلَا تَتَزَوَّجَ الْمَرْأَةُ فَيَجِيءَ زَوْجُهَا أَوْ وَلَدُهَا مِنْ قَوْمٍ آخَرِينَ فَيُزَاحِمَ قَوْماً فِي عَقَارِهِمْ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Aban Al Ahmar who said, ‘I do not know except from Muyassar Baya’a Al Zaty, from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, said, ‘I asked him<sup>asws</sup> about the women, what is for them from the inheritance. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘For them is the value of the bricks and the construction, and the timber, and the canes. As for the land and the realty, so it is not an inheritance for them therein’. I said, ‘So (what about) the clothes’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘The clothes for them is their share’. I said, ‘How it came to be that and for her is the eighth and for her is the quarter, specified’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Because the woman, there is no lineage for her to inherit by. But rather, she has entered upon them, and this has become like this, perhaps the woman would get married and her husband would come, or her child from another people, so he would rival them with regards to their realty’.
