Chapter on the Inheritance of the Magians (Zoroastrians)
وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ حَمْدَانَ بْنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ عَنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ اَلْوَلِيدِ عَنِ اِبْنِ بُكَيْرٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ لِأَيِّ عِلَّةٍ صَارَ اَلْمِيرَاثُ "لِلذَّكَرِ مِثْلُ حَظِّ اَلْأُنْثَيَيْنِ" قَالَ "لِمَا جَعَلَ اَللَّهُ لَهَا مِنَ اَلصَّدَاقِ".
In the narration of Hamdan ibn Al-Husayn from Al-Husayn ibn Al-Walid from Ibn Bukayr from Abdullah ibn Sinan, he said: "I asked Abu Abdullah عليه السلام, 'For what reason is the inheritance for the male equal to the share of two females?' Imam عليه السلام replied: 'Because Allah سبحانه وتعالى has allocated the dowry (ṣadaq) for her.'"
