18. Muhammad ibn Ja‘far al-Kufiy has narrated from Muhammad ibn ’Isma‘il from Ja‘far ibn ‘Isa who has narrated the following
“I once wrote to abu al-Hassan (a.s.), saying, ‘I pray to Allah to keep my soul in service for your cause, a woman dies and her father claims that she had borrowed from him certain things of household materials; if his claim is acceptable without testimony.’ He (the Imam) wrote to him, ‘It is permissible to accept his claim without testimony.’ He wrote to him (the Imam) asking, ‘What happens if a husband claims against a dead woman or father of her husband or mother of her husband about her assets or her servants like what her father claimed which was in the form of borrowing; if it is like the claim of the father. He (the Imam) (a.s.), wrote the answer, ‘No, it is not permissible.’”
18- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الْكُوفِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ عِيسَى قَالَ
كَتَبْتُ إِلَى أَبِي الْحَسَنِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ الْمَرْأَةُ تَمُوتُ فَيَدَّعِي أَبُوهَا أَنَّهُ كَانَ أَعَارَهَا بَعْضَ مَا كَانَ عِنْدَهَا مِنْ مَتَاعٍ وَخَدَمٍ أَتُقْبَلُ دَعْوَاهُ بِلا بَيِّنَةٍ أَمْ لا تُقْبَلُ دَعْوَاهُ إِلا بِبَيِّنَةٍ فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ يَجُوزُ بِلا بَيِّنَةٍ قَالَ وَكَتَبْتُ إِلَيْهِ إِنِ ادَّعَى زَوْجُ الْمَرْأَةِ الْمَيِّتَةِ أَوْ أَبُو زَوْجِهَا أَوْ أُمُّ زَوْجِهَا فِي مَتَاعِهَا أَوْ [فِي] خَدَمِهَا مِثْلَ الَّذِي ادَّعَى أَبُوهَا مِنْ عَارِيَّةِ بَعْضِ الْمَتَاعِ أَوِ الْخَدَمِ أَتَكُونُ فِي ذَلِكَ بِمَنْزِلَةِ الأبِ فِي الدَّعْوَى فَكَتَبَ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) لا.
