1588. Narrated ‘Usāma bin Zaid رضي الله عنهما: I asked, “O Allāh’s Messenger! Where will you stay in Makkah? Will you stay in your house in Makkah?” He replied, “Has ‘Aqīl left any property or house?” ‘Aqīl along with Tālib had inherited the property of Abū Tālib. Ja'far and 'Alī did not inherit anything as they were Muslims while Aqil and Talib were disbelievers. 'Umar bin Al-Khaṭṭāb رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ used to say, "A believer cannot inherit (anything from a) disbeliever..." Ibn Shihāb, (a sub-narrator) said, "They ('Umar and others) derived the above verdict from Allāh Statement : 'Verily, those who believed, and emigrated and strove hard and fought with their property and their lives in the Cause of Allāh, as well as those who gave (them) asylum and help - these are (all) allies to one another...' (V.8:72)
