سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ رَجُلٍ كَانَتْ لَهُ ثَلَاثُ نِسْوَةٍ فَتَزَوَّجَ عَلَيْهِنَّ امْرَأَتَيْنِ فِي عَقْدَةٍ فَدَخَلَ بِوَاحِدَةٍ مِنْهُمَا ثُمَّ مَاتَ قَالَ إِنْ كَانَ دَخَلَ بِالْمَرْأَةِ الَّتِي بَدَأَ بِاسْمِهَا وَ ذَكَرَهَا عِنْدَ عُقْدَةِ النِّكَاحِ فَإِنَّ نِكَاحَهَا جَائِزٌ وَ لَهَا الْمِيرَاثُ وَ عَلَيْهَا الْعِدَّةُ وَ إِنْ كَانَ دَخَلَ بِالْمَرْأَةِ الَّتِي سُمِّيَتْ وَ ذُكِرَتْ بَعْدَ ذِكْرِ الْمَرْأَةِ الْأُولَى فَإِنَّ نِكَاحَهَا بَاطِلٌ وَ لَا مِيرَاثَ لَهَا وَ عَلَيْهَا الْعِدَّةُ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, and Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, altogether, from Al Hassan Bin Mahboub, from Ali Bin Raib, from Anbasa Bin Mus’ab who said, ‘I asked Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> about a man who had three women for him, so he married two women (as additional wives) upon them in one marriage tie. So he slept with one of them, then died. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘If he had slept with the wife whom he initiated with her name and mentioned her during the marriage tie, so her marriage is allowed, and for her is the inheritance and upon her is the waiting period; but if he slept with the wife whom he named, and mentioned after the mention of the first one, so her marriage is invalid, and there is no inheritance for her, and upon her is the waiting period’.
