حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدُ بْنُ مَسْعَدَةَ، قال: حَدَّثَنَا حُصَيْنُ بْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " لاَ يَتَوَارَثُ أَهْلُ مِلَّتَيْنِ " . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ لاَ نَعْرِفُهُ مِنْ حَدِيثِ جَابِرٍ إِلاَّ مِنْ حَدِيثِ ابْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى .
Unreviewed translation. All hadiths in this collection are available in five languages. Titles and introductions may remain in Arabic.
Humayd ibn Mas‘adah narrated to us; Husayn ibn Numayr narrated to us, from Ibn Abi Layla, from Abu al-Zubayr, from Jabir, from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), who said: ‘The followers of two different religions do not inherit from one another.’ Abu ‘Isa said: We know this hadith from Jabir only through the narration of Ibn Abi Layla.
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The source gives a general statement about inheritance between people of two religious communities and notes the route through Ibn Abi Layla.
قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ لاَ نَعْرِفُهُ مِنْ حَدِيثِ جَابِرٍ إِلاَّ مِنْ حَدِيثِ ابْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى .
The Arabic adds that this report from Jabir is known only through Ibn Abi Layla; the English witness omits the compiler’s route note.
Should the compiler’s route qualification be included? It is translated here.
