Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said from Sulaymanibn Yasar that Muhammad ibn al-Ashath told him that he had a christianor jewish paternal aunt who died. Muhammad ibn al-Ashath mentionedthat to Umar ibn al-Khattab and said to him, "Who inherits from her?"Umar ibn al-Khattab said to him, "The people of her deen inherit fromher." Then he went to Uthman ibn Affan, and asked him about that.Uthman said to him, "Do you think that I have forgotten what Umar ibnal-Khattab said to you? The people.of her deen inherit from her."
