حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيل ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ ، عَنْ حَبِيبٍ الْمُعَلِّمِ ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْروٍ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لَا يَتَوَارَثُ أَهْلُ مِلَّتَيْنِ شَتَّى " .

Benefits and Issues:
Benefit: By this is meant both Muslims and disbelievers.
While the disbelievers, despite being upon their various religions, are considered one community (ummah), therefore inheritance passes between them.
Whereas, according to the statements of Imam Zuhri, Ibn Abi Layla, and Ahmad ibn Hanbal, a Jew does not inherit from a Christian,
a Magian does not inherit from a Jew,
and so on.
