“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about the case of a man who made a will to me and died, leaving behind his daughter. He (the Imam) said, ‘Give one-half to his daughter and leave the other half for al-Mawali (friends, guardians or masters).’ I then returned to our people and they said, ‘No, by Allah, there is nothing for al-Mawali.’ I went back to him (the Imam) and informed him that our people say, ‘There is nothing for al-Mawali. He (the Imam) has said so because of fear (taqiyah).’ He (the Imam) said, ‘No, by Allah, I did not do so because of fear ( taqiyah ) but I was afraid for you that you will be asked about one-half. If you are not afraid; give the other half also to his daughter and Allah will relieve you of the burden.’”
