Chapter on the Inheritance of the Magians (Zoroastrians)
وَ رَوَى إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ اَلسَّكُونِيُّ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ رَحْمَةُ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ يَقُولُ: "إِذَا مَاتَ اَلْمَيِّتُ فِي سَفَرٍ فَلاَ تَكْتُمُوا مَوْتَهُ أَهْلَهُ فَإِنَّهَا أَمَانَةٌ لِعِدَّةِ اِمْرَأَتِهِ تَعْتَدُّ وَ مِيرَاثُهُ يُقْسَمُ بَيْنَ أَهْلِهِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَمُوتَ اَلْمَيِّتُ مِنْهُمْ فَيَذْهَبَ نَصِيبُهُ".
Ismaʿil ibn Muslim Al-Sakuni narrated from Jaf Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام from his father, Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir عليه السلام from Abu Dharr (may Allah سبحانه وتعالى have mercy on him) who said: "I heard the Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) say: 'When a person dies during a journey, do not conceal his death from his family, for it is a trust concerning the waiting period (ʿiddah) of his wife so that she may observe it, and his inheritance can be distributed among his family before any of them dies, causing his share to be lost.'"
