(Book 27, Hadith 12) #36156
Inheritance According to Religion

SUMMARY: The hadith is about inheritance and how it should be distributed among people of the same religion.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said from Sulayman ibn Yasar that Muhammad ibn al-Ashath told him that he had a christian or jewish paternal aunt who died. Muhammad ibn al-Ashath mentioned that to Umar ibn al-Khattab and said to him, "Who inherits from her?" Umar ibn al-Khattab said to him, "The people of her deen inherit from her". Then he went to Uthman ibn Affan, and asked him about that. Uthman said to him, "Do you think that I have forgotten what Umar ibn al-Khattab said to you? The people.of her deen inherit from her".
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، أَنَّ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ الأَشْعَثِ، أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ عَمَّةً لَهُ يَهُودِيَّةً أَوْ نَصْرَانِيَّةً تُوُفِّيَتْ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ الأَشْعَثِ ذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لِعُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ وَقَالَ لَهُ مَنْ يَرِثُهَا فَقَالَ لَهُ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ يَرِثُهَا أَهْلُ دِينِهَا ‏.‏ ثُمَّ أَتَى عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ فَسَأَلَهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ لَهُ عُثْمَانُ أَتَرَانِي نَسِيتُ مَا قَالَ لَكَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ يَرِثُهَا أَهْلُ دِينِهَا
