باب في مِيرَاثِ أَهْلِ الشِّرْكِ وَأَهْلِ الإِسْلاَمِ:Chapter on inheritance of polytheists and Muslims
Hadith 3028
حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ دَاوُدَ، عَنْ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ، قَالَ: "كَانَ مُعَاوِيَةُ يُوَرِّثُ الْمُسْلِمَ مِنْ الْكَافِرِ، وَلَا يُوَرِّثُ الْكَافِرَ مِنْ الْمُسْلِمِ، قَالَ: قَالَ مَسْرُوقٌ: وَمَا حَدَثَ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ قَضَاءٌ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْهُ، قِيلَ لِأَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ: تَقُولُ بِهَذَا ؟ قَالَ: لا.
Masruq (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) considered a Muslim to be the heir of a disbeliever, but did not consider a disbeliever to be the heir of a Muslim. Shu’bi (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Masruq said: In Islam, I have not found any decision better than this. Imam Darimi (may Allah have mercy on him) was asked: Do you also say the same? He said: No (i.e., inheritance between the two is not permissible, as will be mentioned ahead in the authentic hadith).
