Translation

Muhammad Bin Yahy, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, and Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, altogether from Al Hassan Bin Mahboub, from Jameel Bin Salih, (It has been narrated) from one of the companions of Abu Abdullah^asws regarding two sisters gifted to two brothers during one night. So the wife of this one went over to that one, and the wife of that one went over to this one. He^asws said: ‘For each of the two is the dower with the copulations, and if it was such that their guardian had deliberated that, would be fined the dower, and each of the two would not go near his wife until the waiting period has expired. So when the waiting period has expired, each one would come to be to her husband with the former marriage’. It was said to him^asws, ‘Supposing both of them were to die before they have completed the waiting period?’ He^asws said: ‘Half the dower would be returned to the two husbands, and they (wives) would both inherit and the two men would both inherit’. It was said, ‘Supposing both the men had died and they were both in the waiting period?’ He^asws said: ‘They would both inherit them both, and for both of them would be half the specified dower, and there would be a waiting period upon them both after they are free from the first waiting period. They would both be observing the waiting period of the one widowed from her husband’.
