Translation

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from Muhammad Bin Isa, from Yunus Bin Abdul Rahman, from Is’haq Bin Ammar who said, ‘I asked Abu Ibrahim^asws (7^th Imam^asws) about a man who claimed to the women besides the men, after the going away of their men and becoming extinct. And he became a man and they got him married and entered him into their chambers, and in the hands of a man was a house. So the relatives of the men and the women who had become extinct had asked him, and adjured him by Allah^azwj, that he would not give their rights to the one who was not from them, and the man in whose hand was the house knew the story, and he had a claimant just as I have described to you^asws, and the matter was confusing to him, and he does not know whether to hand it over to the man, or to the relatives of the women, or relatives of the men’. He (the narrator) said, ‘So he^asws said to me: ‘Hand it over to the one whom he recognises that the right is for them upon his understanding with which he understands, meaning the relatives of the women, because he does not recognise for this claimant (the man), any inheritance by the claiming of the women for him’.
