Chapter on the Inheritance of the Magians (Zoroastrians)
وَ قَالَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: "إِنَّ اَللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى آخَى بَيْنَ اَلْأَرْوَاحِ فِي اَلْأَظِلَّةِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَخْلُقَ اَلْأَجْسَادَ بِأَلْفَيْ عَامٍ فَلَوْ قَدْ قَامَ قَائِمُنَا أَهْلَ اَلْبَيْتِ وَرَّثَ اَلْأَخَ اَلَّذِي آخَى بَيْنَهُمَا فِي اَلْأَظِلَّةِ وَ لَمْ يُوَرِّثِ اَلْأَخَ فِي اَلْوِلاَدَةِ".
Abu Abdullah Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام said: "Indeed, Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Blessed and Exalted, established brotherhood between souls in the realm of shadows (Al-aẓillah) two thousand years before creating bodies. So, when our Qaʾim (Imam Muhammad ibn Hassan Al-Mahdi عليه السلام) from the Ahl Al-Bayt عليه السلام rises, He عليه السلام will give inheritance to the brother with whom brotherhood was established in the realm of shadows and will not give inheritance to the brother through birth."
