1. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad and Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad all from ibn Mahbub from ibn Ri’ab from abu ‘ Ubaydah who has narrated the following: “Abu Ja’far (a.s.), has said, The child involved in Mula‘anah (condemnation) of parents is inherited by his mother with a share of one-third and the rest of the legacy belongs to the Imam of the Muslims; the liability for his crime becomes a burden on the Imam.”’

1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from Yunus ibn ‘Abd al-Rahman who has narrated the following: “Ishaq ibn ‘Ammar narrated to me that he once asked abu Ibrahim (a.s.), about the case of a man against whom a woman without a man had laid a claim when their men were no more. When he became a man, the women married him and allowed him to enter their homes. A man had a house in his possession. The relatives of men and women who were no more asked him on oath not to give their right to those who do not have any right. The man who had the house in his possession knew the story of the man that he is being claimed as I mentioned but he is confused and does not know to whom he must give it; must he give it to the man or to the relatives of the women or to the relatives of men? He (the Imam) said, ‘He must give it to the one whom he knows is rightful to the best of his knowledge, that is, the relatives of the women because he does not know of any right for inheritance in favor of the man just because the women have claimed him. 5 ”
