Sahih al-Bukhari 1588 (Book 25, Hadith 74) #1525
Inheritance of Property in Islam

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the inheritance of property and how it should be divided among believers and non-believers.

Narrated 'Usama bin Zaid: I asked, "O Allah's Messenger ! Where will you stay in Mecca? Will you stay in your house in Mecca?" He replied, "Has 'Aqil left any property or house?" 'Aqil along with Talib had inherited the property of Abu Talib. Jafar and 'Ali did not inherit anything as they were Muslims and the other two were non-believers'.Umar bin Al-Khattab used to say, "A believer cannot inherit (anything from an) infidel". Ibn Shihab, (a sub-narrator) said, "They ('Umar and others) derived the above verdict from Allah's Statement: "Verily! those who believed and Emigrated and strove with their life And property in Allah's Cause, And those who helped (the emigrants) And gave them their places to live in, These are (all) allies to one another". (8:72)
حَدَّثَنَا أَصْبَغُ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، عَنْ يُونُسَ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ حُسَيْنٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ عُثْمَانَ، عَنْ أُسَامَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ أَنَّهُ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، أَيْنَ تَنْزِلُ فِي دَارِكَ بِمَكَّةَ‏.‏ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ وَهَلْ تَرَكَ عَقِيلٌ مِنْ رِبَاعٍ أَوْ دُورٍ ‏"‏‏.‏ وَكَانَ عَقِيلٌ وَرِثَ أَبَا طَالِبٍ هُوَ وَطَالِبٌ وَلَمْ يَرِثْهُ جَعْفَرٌ وَلاَ عَلِيٌّ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ شَيْئًا لأَنَّهُمَا كَانَا مُسْلِمَيْنِ، وَكَانَ عَقِيلٌ وَطَالِبٌ كَافِرَيْنِ، فَكَانَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ يَقُولُ لاَ يَرِثُ الْمُؤْمِنُ الْكَافِرَ‏.‏ قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ وَكَانُوا يَتَأَوَّلُونَ قَوْلَ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى ‏{‏إِنَّ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَهَاجَرُوا وَجَاهَدُوا بِأَمْوَالِهِمْ وَأَنْفُسِهِمْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَالَّذِينَ آوَوْا وَنَصَرُوا أُولَئِكَ بَعْضُهُمْ أَوْلِيَاءُ بَعْضٍ‏}‏ الآيَةَ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith discusses the Islamic laws regarding inheritance of property. According to this hadith, believers and non-believers have different rights when it comes to inheriting property. Believers are not allowed to inherit from non-believers, while non-believers can inherit from believers. This is based on a verse in the Quran which states that those who believe and emigrate for Allah's cause are allies to one another. The main idea behind this law is that Muslims should not benefit from disbelieving relatives or vice versa, as this could lead to a conflict between them. Therefore, it is important for Muslims to abide by these laws when dividing up their inheritance so as not to create any unnecessary disputes or disagreements between family members.
