Hadith 1488
وَحَدَّثَنِي، عَنْ وَحَدَّثَنِي، عَنْ مَالِك، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ ، أَنَّ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ الْأَشْعَثِ أَخْبَرَهُ، أَنَّ عَمَّةً لَهُ يَهُودِيَّةً أَوْ نَصْرَانِيَّةً تُوُفِّيَتْ، وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ الْأَشْعَثِ 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 : أَتُرَانِي نَسِيتُ مَا قَالَ لَكَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ ؟ يَرِثُهَا أَهْلُ دِينِهَا
A paternal aunt of Muhammad bin Ash'ath, who was either a Jew or a Christian, died. Muhammad bin Ash'ath informed Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) and asked who would be her heir. Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Her heirs will be those who follow her religion. Then, when Sayyiduna Uthman bin Affan (may Allah be pleased with him) became the caliph, he was asked about it. Sayyiduna Uthman bin Affan (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Do you think I have forgotten what Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) told you? Her heirs will be those who follow her religion.
