Sahih al-Bukhari 1534 (Book 25, Hadith 74)
He replied, “Has `Aqil left any property or house?” `Aqil along with Talib had inherited the property
of Abu Talib. Jafar and `Ali did not inherit anything as they were Muslims and the other two were
non-believers. `Umar bin Al-Khattab used to say, “A believer cannot inherit (anything from an)
infidel.” Ibn Shihab, (a sub-narrator) said, “They (`Umar and others) derived the above verdict from
Allah’s Statement: “Verily! those who believed and Emigrated and strove with their life And property
in Allah’s Cause, And those who helped (the emigrants) And gave them their places to live in, These
are (all) allies to one another.” (8.72)
