حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رُمْحٍ ، أَنْبَأَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ ، عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ ، أَنَّ الْمُثَنَّى بْنَ الصَّبَّاحِ ، أَخْبَرَهُ ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " لَا يَتَوَارَثُ أَهْلُ مِلَّتَيْنِ " .

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.
