سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ بَيْتٍ وَقَعَ عَلَى قَوْمٍ مُجْتَمِعِينَ فَلَا يُدْرَى أَيُّهُمْ مَاتَ قَبْلُ قَالَ فَقَالَ يُوَرَّثُ بَعْضُهُمْ مِنْ بَعْضٍ قُلْتُ فَإِنَّ أَبَا حَنِيفَةَ أَدْخَلَ فِيهَا شَيْئاً قَالَ وَ مَا أَدْخَلَ قُلْتُ رَجُلَيْنِ أَخَوَيْنِ أَحَدُهُمَا مَوْلَايَ وَ الْآخَرُ مَوْلًى لِرَجُلٍ لِأَحَدِهِمَا مِائَةُ أَلْفِ دِرْهَمٍ وَ الْآخَرُ لَيْسَ لَهُ شَيْءٌ رَكِبَا فِي السَّفِينَةِ فَغَرِقَا فَلَمْ يُدْرَ أَيُّهُمَا مَاتَ أَوَّلًا كَانَ الْمَالُ لِوَرَثَةِ الَّذِي لَيْسَ لَهُ شَيْءٌ وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لِوَرَثَةِ الَّذِي لَهُ الْمَالُ شَيْءٌ قَالَ فَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) لَقَدْ سَمِعَهَا وَ هُوَ هَكَذَا.
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father and Muhammad Bin Ismail, from Al Fazl Bin Shazaan, altogether from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Abdul Rahman Bin Al Hajjaj, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, said, ‘I asked him<sup>asws</sup> about a house which fell upon a people who had gathered (and they all died). So it was not known which one of them died first’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘They would inherit from each other’. I said, ‘But Abu Haneefa has included something in it’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘And what has he included?’ I said, ‘Two men, brother, one of them was my slave and the other was a slave of another man. For one of them was a hundred thousand Dirham, and the other one, there was nothing for him. They both sailed in the ship, so they drowned. So it was not know which of the two died first. The wealth is for the inheritors of the one who had nothing for him, and nothing will be for the inheritors of the one who had the wealth’. So Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘He (Abu Haneefa) has heard it (the answer), and it is like this’.
