A newborn who dies after the death of someone he would inherit from

Hisham narrates from al-Hasan and Ibn Sirin: A child will be made an heir only if he cries out after being born.

Bishr bin Ghalib said: Sayyiduna Ibn al-Zubayr met Sayyiduna al-Husayn bin Ali (may Allah be pleased with them) and said to him: "O Abu Abdullah! Give us a ruling concerning the child who is born in Islam." He said: "His stipend and his provision have become due."

Abu al-Zubayr reports the statement of Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him): When a child cries out after being born, the funeral prayer will be offered over him and he will be made an heir; and if he does not even cry out after being born, he will not be made an heir and the funeral prayer will not be offered over him.

Amr narrates from al-Hasan: The ruling concerning a woman who gives birth and the child does not cry out is this: if he moves, and it is known that his movement is due to life and not due to a spasm, he will be made an heir; and if his movement is due to a spasm and not due to life, he will not be made an heir.
