Chapter on the Inheritance of the Offspring of Offspring
وَ كَتَبَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ اَلْحَسَنِ اَلصَّفَّارُ رَضِيَ اَللَّهُ عَنْهُ إِلَى أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: رَجُلٌ مَاتَ وَ تَرَكَ اِبْنَةَ اِبْنَتِهِ وَ أَخَاهُ لِأَبِيهِ وَ أُمِّهِ لِمَنْ يَكُونُ اَلْمِيرَاثُ فَوَقَّعَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ فِي ذَلِكَ "اَلْمِيرَاثُ لِلْأَقْرَبِ إِنْ شَاءَ اَللَّهُ".
Muhammad ibn Al-Hasan Al-Saffar (may Allah سبحانه وتعالى be pleased with him) wrote to Abu Muhammad Imam Hasan ibn Ali Al-Askari عليه السلام asking about a man who passed away, leaving behind his daughter's daughter and his full brother. Imam عليه السلام replied: "The inheritance belongs to the closest relative, Allah سبحانه وتعالى willing."
