Al-Kafi 13470

Translation

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from Muhammad Bin Isa, from Yunus, from Abdul Rahman Bin Al Hajjan, and Humeyd Bin Ziyad, from Ibn Sama’at, from Muhammad Bin Abu Hamza, from Abdul Rahman Bin Al Hajjaj, (The narrator says) ‘I said to Abu Abdullah^asws, (about the case of) a man and a woman, upon whom the house had collapsed, so they both died’. He^asws said: ‘The man would inherit from the woman, and the woman would inherit from the man’. I said, ‘But Abu Haneefa has included something upon them with regards to this’. He^asws said: ‘And which thing has he included upon them?’ I said, ‘Two men, brothers, non-Arabs, not having any inheritor except their two masters. One of them had a hundred thousand Dirhams, well known, and the other there was nothing for him. They both sailed in a ship, so it drowned. So the one hundred Dirhams were extracted. What should be done with it?’ He^asws said: ‘It should be handed over to the master of the one who had nothing’. So he^asws said: ‘I^asws do not deny what he has included in it as true, and it is like this’. Then he^asws said: ‘Hand over the wealth to the master of the one who had nothing, and there would not be anything for the man who had wealth, to be inherited by the other master. So there is nothing for his inheritors’.
