Chapter on the Inheritance of the Followers of Different Religions
وَ رَوَى مُوسَى بْنُ بَكْرٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَلرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَعْيَنَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: "لاَ يَتَوَارَثُ أَهْلُ مِلَّتَيْنِ نَحْنُ نَرِثُهُمْ وَ لاَ يَرِثُونَّا فَإِنَّ اَللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لَمْ يَزِدْنَا، بِالْإِسْلاَمِ إِلاَّ عِزّاً".
Musa ibn Bakr narrated from Abdur Rahman ibn Aʿyan from Abu Abdullah Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام who said: "People of two different religions do not inherit from one another. We inherit from them, but they do not inherit from us. Indeed, Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Mighty and Majestic, has only increased us in honor through Islam."
