Man Lā Yaḥḍuruh al-Faqīh|Volume 4|Book 1|Chapter 130
وَ رُوِيَ عَنِ اَلْبَزَنْطِيِّ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي جَعْفَرٍ اَلثَّانِي عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ رَجُلٌ هَلَكَ وَ تَرَكَ اِبْنَتَهُ وَ عَمَّهُ فَقَالَ "اَلْمَالُ لِلاِبْنَةِ" قَالَ وَ قُلْتُ لَهُ رَجُلٌ مَاتَ وَ تَرَكَ اِبْنَةً لَهُ وَ أَخاً أَوْ قَالَ اِبْنَ أَخِيهِ قَالَ فَسَكَتَ طَوِيلاً ثُمَّ قَالَ "اَلْمَالُ لِلاِبْنَةِ".
It is narrated from Al-Bazanti who said: I said to Abu Ja'far Al-Thani عليه السلام: "May I be sacrificed for you! A man has died and left behind his daughter and his paternal uncle." Imam عليه السلام replied: "The entire wealth belongs to the daughter." Al-Bazanti further said: I asked Imam عليه السلام, "A man has died and left behind his daughter and a (his) brother", or he said, "the son of his brother." Imam عليه السلام remained silent for a long time and said: "The entire wealth belongs to the daughter."
