Al-Kāfi - The Book of Talaq (Divorces) Chapter: The Case of a Man who Divorces his Wife and Dies before her Waiting period Ends َيْدُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنِ ابْنِ سَ٠َّدِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلا٠ِنِينَ ( عليه السلا٠) فِي رَجُلٍ طَلَّقَ ا٠َّ تُوُفِّيَ وَ هِيَ فِي عِدَّتِهَا قَالَ تَرِثُهُ وَ إِنْ تُوُفِّيَتْ وَ هِيَ فِي عِدَّتِهَا فَإِنَّهُ يَرِثُهَا وَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ ٠ِنْ دِيَةِ صَاحِبِهِ ٠ْ يَقْتُلْ أَحَدُهُ٠َا الْآخَرَوَ زَادَ فِيهِ ٠َّدُ بْنُ أَبِي حَ٠ْزَةَ وَ تَعْتَدُّ عِدَّةَ الْ٠ُتَوَفَّى عَنْهَا زَوْجُهَا.

’Amir al-Mu’minin issued a judgment in the case of a man who divorced his wife; then died; when she counted her waiting period, that said, ‘She inherits his legacy, and if she dies during her waiting period he inherits her legacy, each one inherits from the wergild of the other, if one of them does not kill the other.’” Muhammad ibn abu Hamzah has added, ‘She counts her waiting period for a woman whoes husband has died.’ Al-Hassan ibn Sama‘ah has said that this much is missing from the book of ibn Ziyad and I do not think except that he has narrated it.
