alkafi-13405Vol. 7, p. 125

كُنْتُ عِنْدَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع فَدَعَا بِالْجَامِعَةِ فَنَظَرْنَا فِيهَا فَإِذَا فِيهَا امْرَأَةٌ هَلَكَتْ وَ تَرَكَتْ زَوْجَهَا لَا وَارِثَ لَهَا غَيْرُهُ لَهُ الْمَالُ كُلُّهُ.

“I once was with abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), and he (the Imam) asked for al-Jami‘ah (the renown book of Ali (a.s.) ). We looked in it and found this case: ‘If a woman dies leaving behind just her husband and no other heirs, the entire legacy belongs to him (the husband).”’

الْمَالُ لِلزَّوْجِ يَعْنِي إِذَا لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهَا وَارِثٌ غَيْرُهُ. - عَنْهُ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جَبَلَةَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ.

“About the case of a woman who dies leaving behind just her husband, abu Ja‘far (a.s.), has said, ‘The entire legacy belongs to him (the husband) if no other heirs exist.’” It is narrated from the narrator of the previous Hadith from ‘Abd Allah ibn Jabalah from Ali ibn abu Hamzah from abu Basir a similar Hadith.

قُلْتُ امْرَأَةٌ مَاتَتْ وَ تَرَكَتْ زَوْجَهَا قَالَ الْمَالُ لَهُ قَالَ مَعْنَاهُ لَا وَارِثَ لَهَا غَيْرُهُ.

“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about the case of a woman who dies and leaves behind just her husband. He (the Imam) said, ‘The legacy belongs to him.’ He said, ‘It means that there are no other heirs besides the husband.’”

سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ع- عَنِ امْرَأَةٍ تَمُوتُ وَ لَا تَتْرُكُ وَارِثاً غَيْرَ زَوْجِهَا قَالَ الْمِيرَاثُ كُلُّهُ لَهُ.

“I once asked abu Ja‘far (a.s.), about the case of a woman who dies and does not leave behind any heirs except her husband. He (the Imam) said, ‘The legacy entirely belongs to him (the husband).”’
