حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدُ بْنُ مَسْعَدَةَ، قال: حَدَّثَنَا حُصَيْنُ بْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " لاَ يَتَوَارَثُ أَهْلُ مِلَّتَيْنِ " . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ لاَ نَعْرِفُهُ مِنْ حَدِيثِ جَابِرٍ إِلاَّ مِنْ حَدِيثِ ابْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى .

Summary of Jami at-Tirmidhi Hadith 2108
This Hadith is another short report on different religion inheritance. Jabir narrated that the Prophet said, “The people of two religions do not inherit from each other.” The key teaching is narrow and clear. It speaks about inheritance between people of two different religions. It does not discuss friendship, justice, kindness, or other matters, so those should not be added into the explanation as if they came from this text. The narration supports the searched topic “no inheritance between two religions in Islam.” The provided note says this route from Jabir is known through Ibn Abi Layla. For readers, the practical point is that inheritance is tied not only to family connection, but also to the religious condition mentioned in the Hadith.
What we learn from this hadith
- The Hadith states that people of two religions do not inherit from each other.
- The topic is inheritance, not general social conduct.
- Religious difference is presented as a barrier in this report.
- The wording is concise and should be kept within its stated meaning.
