Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Abu Talib, the Faithful of Quraysh The Inheritance of Abu Talib Among the fabrications against Abu Talib was the pretense that Ali and Ja’far had not taken anything from the inheritance of their father because they were Muslims while their father was unbeliever.[^1] We did not find the narrators of this lie in order to remove the cover from above this scandal and this disgrace!

Surely this lie was fabricated by someone, who was ignorant of the conditions of inheritance among the Muslims. Definitely, that fabricator did not know more than the tradition of “There is no succession between the followers of two different religions.” We believe in this tradition but it means that the unbeliever is not to inherit from the Muslim.

This prophetic tradition would not prevent a Muslim from inheriting from an unbeliever because Islam exalted the Muslim as it was confirmed by many prophetic traditions such as: “Islam is exalted and nothing is to be more exalted than it.” Hence Islam didn’t permit an unbeliever man to marry a Muslim woman because she was loftier than him whereas some of the ulema permitted a Muslim man to marry a (kitabi)[^2] unbeliever woman in a continuous marriage.

The Shia agreed upon the permission of marrying a kitabi unbeliever woman in temporary marriage as I knew.[^3] If we submitted to this fabrication and supposed that it was true, although it was not, it would not be as evidence showing that Abu Talib was unbeliever because Ali and Ja’far, who were Muslims, had the right to inherit their father even if he was unbeliever as the fabricators pretended.

The Islamic law did not forbid that but the one, who fabricated this lie, was unaware of Islam and its laws. The Tradition of ad-Dhihdhah The Tradition of ad-Dhihdhah [^4] We would like to quote the different ways of the tradition as fabricated by the fabricators and then to discuss it.

Obeidillah bin Omar al-Qawareeri, Muhammad bin Abu Bakr al-Maqdimi and Muhammad bin Abdul Melik al-Amawi said: Abu Owana told us from Abdul Melik bin Omayr from Abdullah bin al-Harith bin Nawfal that al-Abbas bin Abdul Muttalib had said: “O messenger of Allah! Did you benefit Abu Talib with something? He protected and defended you. The Prophet (S) said, Yes!
