٢- ابْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنِ ابْنِ رِئَابٍ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مُسْلِمٍ مَاتَ وَلَهُ أُمٌّ نَصْرَانِيَّةٌ وَلَهُ زَوْجَةٌ وَوُلْدٌ مُسْلِمُونَ قَالَ فَقَالَ إِنْ أَسْلَمَتْ أُمُّهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُقْسَمَ مِيرَاثُهُ أُعْطِيَتِ السُّدُسَ قُلْتُ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ امْرَأَةٌ وَلا وُلْدٌ وَلا وَارِثٌ لَهُ سَهْمٌ فِي الْكِتَابِ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَأُمُّهُ نَصْرَانِيَّةٌ وَلَهُ قَرَابَةٌ نَصَارَى مِمَّنْ لَهُ سَهْمٌ فِي الْكِتَابِ لَوْ كَانُوا مُسْلِمِينَ لِمَنْ يَكُونُ مِيرَاثُهُ قَالَ إِنْ أَسْلَمَتْ أُمُّهُ فَإِنَّ جَمِيعَ مِيرَاثِهِ لَهَا وَإِنْ لَمْ تُسْلِمْ أُمُّهُ وَأَسْلَمَ بَعْضُ قَرَابَتِهِ مِمَّنْ لَهُ سَهْمٌ فِي الْكِتَابِ فَإِنَّ مِيرَاثَهُ لَهُ وَإِنْ لَمْ يُسْلِمْ مِنْ قَرَابَتِهِ أَحَدٌ فَإِنَّ مِيرَاثَهُ لِلإمَامِ.
2. Ibn Mahbub has narrated from ibn Ri’ab from abu Basir who has narrated the following: “I once asked abu Ja‘far , about the case of a Muslim man who has died and his mother is a Christian. He has a wife and Muslim children. He (the Imam) said, ‘If his mother becomes a Muslim before the legacy is distributed, she receives one-sixth.’ I then asked, ‘What happens if he does not have a wife and children or an heir with ordained shares in the book and his mother is a Christian and has other Christian relatives of those who have ordained shares in the book had they been Muslims. Who receives his legacy?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘If his mother becomes a Muslim, all of his legacy belongs to her; but if she did not become a Muslim instead certain others from his relatives become Muslims of those who have ordained shares according to the book, his legacy belongs to him. If no one from his relatives becomes a Muslim then his legacy belongs to the Imam.’”
