Abu Ahmad Abdullah ibn Muhammad ibn al-Hasan al-Mihrajani informed us: Abu Bakr Muhammad ibn Ja'far al-Muzakki narrated to us: Muhammad ibn Ibrahim al-Bushanji narrated to us: Ibn Bukayr narrated to us: Malik narrated from Yahya ibn Sa'id from Sulayman ibn Yasar that Muhammad ibn al-Ash'ath informed him that a paternal aunt of his who was Jewish or Christian died, and Muhammad ibn al-Ash'ath mentioned this to Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him). He said to him: Who inherits from her? Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The people of her religion inherit from her. Then he went to Uthman ibn Affan (may Allah be pleased with him) and asked him about it. Uthman ibn Affan said: Do you think I have forgotten what Umar told you?
