٤- عَلِيٌّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ أَبَانٍ الأحْمَرِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَحَدِهِمَا (عَلَيْهِما السَّلام) قَالَ مَنْ أَسْلَمَ عَلَى مِيرَاثٍ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُقْسَمَ الْمِيرَاثُ فَهُوَ لَهُ وَمَنْ أَسْلَمَ بَعْدَ مَا قُسِمَ فَلا مِيرَاثَ لَهُ وَمَنْ أُعْتِقَ عَلَى مِيرَاثٍ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُقْسَمَ الْمَوَارِيثُ فَهُوَ لَهُ وَمَنْ أُعْتِقَ بَعْدَ مَا قُسِمَ فَلا مِيرَاثَ لَهُ وَقَالَ فِي الْمَرْأَةِ إِذَا أَسْلَمَتْ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُقْسَمَ الْمِيرَاثُ فَلَهَا الْمِيرَاثُ. 
4. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Aban al-Ahmar from Muhammad ibn Muslim who has narrated the following: “One of the two Imam, (abu Ja‘far or abu ‘Abd Allah), ‘Alayhim al-Salam, has said, ‘If one becomes a Muslim before the legacy is distributed the legacy belongs to him. If one becomes a Muslim after the legacy is distributed there is no legacy for him. If one is set free before the legacy is distributed it belongs to him but if one is set free after the legacy is distributed then there is no legacy for him.’ About the case of a woman he (the Imam) said, ‘If she becomes a Muslim before the legacy is distributed she receives her share of the legacy.’”
