Chapter on the Mutual Inheritance of a Man and a Woman Whom He Marries and Then Divorces During His Illness

وَ رَوَى اِبْنُ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ جَمِيلِ بْنِ دَرَّاجٍ عَنْ أَبِي اَلْعَبَّاسِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: "إِذَا طَلَّقَ اَلرَّجُلُ اَلْمَرْأَةَ فِي مَرَضِهِ وَرِثَتْهُ مَا دَامَ فِي مَرَضِهِ ذَلِكَ وَ إِنِ اِنْقَضَتْ عِدَّتُهَا إِلاَّ أَنْ يَصِحَّ مِنْهُ " قُلْتُ فَإِنْ طَالَ بِهِ اَلْمَرَضُ قَالَ "تَرِثُهُ مَا بَيْنَهُ وَ بَيْنَ سَنَةٍ".
Ibn Abi Umayr narrated from Jamil ibn Darraj, from Abu Al-Abbas, from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام, who said: "If a man divorces his wife while he is ill, she inherits from him as long as he remains in that illness, even if her waiting period (iddah) has ended - unless he recovers from his illness." I asked: "What if his illness lasts for a long time?" Imam عليه السلام replied: "She inherits from him for up to one year."
