It is narrated from the narrator of the previous Hadith from Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from Yunus from Yahya al-Halabiy from Ayyub ibn al-Hurr from abu Basir who has narrated the following: “I once was with abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), and he (the Imam) asked for al-Jami‘ah (the renown book of Ali (a.s.) ).

We looked in it and found this case: ‘If a woman dies leaving behind just her husband and no other heirs, the entire legacy belongs to him (the husband).”’ صحيح - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (3/184))
