Chapter on the Inheritance of the Followers of Different Religions

وَ رَوَى اَلْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ اَلْخَزَّازُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عَائِذٍ عَنْ أَبِي خَدِيجَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: "لاَ يَرِثُ اَلْكَافِرُ اَلْمُسْلِمَ وَ لِلْمُسْلِمِ أَنْ يَرِثَ اَلْكَافِرَ إِلاَّ أَنْ يَكُونَ اَلْمُسْلِمُ قَدْ أَوْصَى لِلْكَافِرِ بِشَيْءٍ ".
Al-Hasan ibn Ali Al-Khazzaz narrated from Ahmad ibn A'id from Abu Khadijah from Abu Abdullah Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام who said: "A disbeliever does not inherit from a Muslim, but a Muslim may inherit from a disbeliever - unless the Muslim has made a will (wasiyyah) bequeathing something to the disbeliever."
