وَ رَوَى اَلْحَسَنُ بْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنِ اَلْعَلاَءِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يَتَزَوَّجُ اَلْمَرْأَةَ ثُمَّ يَمُوتُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ بِهَا فَقَالَ "لَهَا اَلْمِيرَاثُ كَامِلاً وَ عَلَيْهَا اَلْعِدَّةُ أَرْبَعَةُ أَشْهُرٍ وَ عَشْراً وَ إِنْ كَانَ سَمَّى لَهَا مَهْراً يَعْنِي صَدَاقاً فَلَهَا نِصْفُهُ وَ إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ سَمَّى لَهَا مَهْراً فَلاَ مَهْرَ لَهَا".
Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub narrated from Al-Ala, from Muhammad ibn Muslim, from Abu Jafar Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir عليه السلام, who said: I asked Imam عليه السلام about a man who marries a woman and then dies before consummating the marriage with her. Imam عليه السلام said: "She is entitled to the full inheritance, and she must observe the waiting period (iddah) of four months and ten days. If he had specified a dowry (mahr) for her, she is entitled to half of it. However, if he had not specified a dowry, then she is not entitled to any dowry."
- Ṣaḥīḥ al-Faqīh, p. 368
وَ قَالَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ فِي حَدِيثٍ آخَرَ: "إِنْ كَانَ دَخَلَ بِهَا فَلَهَا اَلصَّدَاقُ كَامِلاً".
And Imam عليه السلام said in another narration: "If he had consummated the marriage with her, then she is entitled to the full dowry (ṣadaq)."
- Ṣaḥīḥ al-Faqīh, p. 368
وَ رَوَى اِبْنُ أَبِي نَصْرٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَلْكَرِيمِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لَهُ رَجُلٌ تَزَوَّجَ اِمْرَأَةً بِحُكْمِهَا فَمَاتَ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَحْكُمَ قَالَ "لَيْسَ لَهَا صَدَاقٌ وَ هِيَ تَرِثُهُ".
Ibn Abi Nasr narrated from Abdul Karim ibn Amr, from Muhammad ibn Muslim, from Abu Jafar Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir عليه السلام, who said: I asked Imam عليه السلام about a man who married a woman according to her own condition (by her terms), but he died before she could set the conditions. Imam عليه السلام said: "She is not entitled to a dowry (ṣadaq), but she inherits from him."
