Chapter on the Divorce by a Sick Person

وَ رَوَى اَلْحَسَنُ بْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ رَبِيعٍ اَلْأَصَمِّ عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ اَلْحَذَّاءِ وَ مَالِكِ بْنِ عَطِيَّةَ كِلاَهُمَا عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: "إِذَا طَلَّقَ اَلرَّجُلُ اِمْرَأَتَهُ تَطْلِيقَةً فِي مَرَضِهِ ثُمَّ مَكَثَ فِي مَرَضِهِ حَتَّى اِنْقَضَتْ عِدَّتُهَا ثُمَّ مَاتَ فِي ذَلِكَ اَلْمَرَضِ بَعْدَ اِنْقِضَاءِ اَلْعِدَّةِ فَإِنَّهَا تَرِثُهُ مَا لَمْ تَتَزَوَّجْ فَإِذَا كَانَتْ تَزَوَّجَتْ بَعْدَ اِنْقِضَاءِ اَلْعِدَّةِ فَإِنَّهَا لاَ تَرِثُهُ ".
Al-Ḥasan ibn Maḥbub narrated from Rabiʿ al-Aṣamm from Abu ʿUbaydah al-Ḥadhdhaʾ and Malik ibn ʿAṭiyyah, both from Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir عليه السلام, who said: "If a man divorces his wife with one divorce during his illness and remains in his illness until her waiting period ends, and then he dies from that illness after the completion of her waiting period, she will inherit from him as long as she has not remarried. However, if she marries after the completion of her waiting period, then she does not inherit from him."
