الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُعَلَّى بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْوَشَّاءِ عَنْ أَبَانٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي يَعْفُورٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) أَنَّهُ قَالَ فِي امْرَأَةٍ تُوُفِّيَتْ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُدْخَلَ بِهَا مَا لَهَا مِنَ الْمَهْرِ وَ كَيْفَ مِيرَاثُهَا فَقَالَ إِذَا كَانَ قَدْ فَرَضَ لَهَا صَدَاقاً فَلَهَا نِصْفُ الْمَهْرِ وَ هُوَ يَرِثُهَا وَ إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ فَرَضَ لَهَا صَدَاقاً فَلَا صَدَاقَ لَهَاوَ قَالَ فِي رَجُلٍ تُوُفِّيَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ بِامْرَأَتِهِ قَالَ إِنْ كَانَ فَرَضَ لَهَا مَهْراً فَلَهَا نِصْفُ الْمَهْرِ وَ هِيَ تَرِثُهُ وَ إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ فَرَضَ لَهَا مَهْراً فَلَا مَهْرَ لَهَا .
6. Al-Husayn from Muhammad has narrated from Mu‘alla’ ibn Muhammad from al-Washsha’ from Aban from ibn abu Ya‘fur who has said the following: “About the case of a woman who dies before his going to bed with her, about her mahr (dower) and her inheritance, abu ‘Abd Allah , has said, ‘If mahr (dower) is set for her, she deserves one-half of it and he inherits her legacy. If mahr (dower) is not set then mahr (dower) is not payable to her.’ About the case of a man who dies before going to bed with his wife, he (the Imam) said, ‘If he has set mahr (dower) for her she deserves one-half of it and she inherits him, but if mahr (dower) is not set she then does not have the right to demand any mahr (dower).”’
