Hadith 1023
۞
2. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad and Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn Mahziyar from Ibrahim ibn Muhammad al-Hamadaniy and Muhammad ibn Ja’far al-Raziy from Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from Ibrahim al-Hamadaniy who has said the following
“I once wrote to abu al-Hassan (a.s.), and asked about the case of a woman who had rented her asset for ten years, that the rent had to be paid at the end of every year and there would be no rent before the end of such time; but she died before three years or after it; if it was necessary for her heirs to continue with the terms of the contract or that the contract terminated because of the death of the woman. He (the Imam) wrote the answer that said, ‘If the time was specified which was not complete yet and she died, her heir could have the rent. If the time was not complete or one-third or half or so was complete, the heirs could have the rent proportionate to the time used, by the will of Allah.’”

كَتَبْتُ إِلَى أَبِي الْحَسَنِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) وَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ امْرَأَةٍ آجَرَتْ ضَيْعَتَهَا عَشْرَ سِنِينَ عَلَى أَنْ تُعْطَى الأجْرَةَ فِي كُلِّ سَنَةٍ عِنْدَ انْقِضَائِهَا لا يُقَدَّمُ لَهَا شَيْءٌ مِنَ الأجْرَةِ مَا لَمْ يَمْضِ الْوَقْتُ فَمَاتَتْ قَبْلَ ثَلاثِ سِنِينَ أَوْ بَعْدَهَا هَلْ يَجِبُ عَلَى وَرَثَتِهَا إِنْفَاذُ الإجَارَةِ إِلَى الْوَقْتِ أَمْ تَكُونُ الإجَارَةُ مُنْتَقِضَةً بِمَوْتِ الْمَرْأَةِ فَكَتَبَ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) إِنْ كَانَ لَهَا وَقْتٌ مُسَمًّى لَمْ يَبْلُغْ فَمَاتَتْ فَلِوَرَثَتِهَا تِلْكَ الإجَارَةُ فَإِنْ لَمْ تَبْلُغْ ذَلِكَ الْوَقْتَ وَبَلَغَتْ ثُلُثَهُ أَوْ نِصْفَهُ أَوْ شَيْئاً مِنْهُ فَيُعْطَى وَرَثَتُهَا بِقَدْرِ مَا بَلَغَتْ مِنْ ذَلِكَ الْوَقْتِ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ.
