8. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Muhammad ibn ’Isma’il from Muhammad ibn ’Adhafir from ’Umar ibn Yazid who has said the following
“Abu ’Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ’If one owes a certain amount of debts to another person and he delays payment until the creditor dies and then he reaches a settlement with such person’s heirs whatever they receive belongs to them and the remaining belongs to the deceased who will acquire from him in the next life; but if he does not reach any settlement with the heirs of the deceased all of the loan belongs to the deceased for which the borrower will be held responsible.’”
8- عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُذَافِرٍ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ
إِذَا كَانَ لِرَجُلٍ عَلَى رَجُلٍ دَيْنٌ فَمَطَلَهُ حَتَّى مَاتَ ثُمَّ صَالَحَ وَرَثَتَهُ عَلَى شَيْ‏ءٍ فَالَّذِي أَخَذَتْهُ الْوَرَثَةُ لَهُمْ وَمَا بَقِيَ فَلِلْمَيِّتِ حَتَّى يَسْتَوْفِيَهُ مِنْهُ فِي الآخِرَةِ وَإِنْ هُوَ لَمْ يُصَالِحْهُمْ عَلَى شَيْ‏ءٍ حَتَّى مَاتَ وَلَمْ يَقْضِ عَنْهُ فَهُوَ كُلُّهُ لِلْمَيِّتِ يَأْخُذُهُ بِهِ.
