اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدُ بْنُ مَسْعَدَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا حُصَيْنُ بْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " لَا يَتَوَارَثُ أَهْلُ مِلَّتَيْنِ " ، قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : هَذَا حَدِيثٌ لَا نَعْرِفُهُ مِنْ حَدِيثِ جَابِرٍ إِلَّا مِنْ حَدِيثِ ابْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى .
´Jabir narrated that the Prophet(S.A.W) said:` "The people of two religions do not inherit from each other."
Brief Explanation
1؎: By "two different religions and faiths," some people have taken it to mean disbelief (kufr) and Islam, while others have kept it general. In such a case, a Christian will not inherit from a Jew, nor a Jew from a Christian. The first opinion is more correct, because all the communities of disbelief (kufr) are considered as one community «ملة واحدة».
