Al-Kafi 13556

Translation

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Fazzal and Al Hajjal, from Sa’alba Bin Maymoun, from one of our companions, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah^asws, said, ‘He^asws was asked about the child born, not being with a male part, nor a female part, there was not for him except for a backside. How would he inherit?’ He^asws said: ‘The Imam^asws would sit in a gathering, and there would sit in his^asws presence people from the Muslims. So he^asws would be supplicating to Allah^azwj Mighty and Majestic, and the lots would be made upon it which inheritance would he be inheriting, the inheritance of the males or the inheritance of the females? So whichever of that comes out upon him, he would inherit’. Then he^asws said: ‘And which judgement is more just than the judgement made upon the drawing of lots. Allah^azwj the High is Saying <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:37#h141"><a href="/books/quran:37#h141">[37:141]</a></a> So he drew lots (with them), so he was of those who are cast off</span>’. He^asws said: ‘And there is none from the matters in which two (people) have differed except that for it is an origin in the Book of Allah^azwj, but the intellects of the men cannot reach it’.
