"Commander of the Faithful (as) ruled concerning a man who made a bequest to another, but the person to whom the bequest was made was absent and died before the one who made the bequest. Imam (as) said: 'The bequest is for the heir of the one to whom it was made.' Imam (as) also said: 'Whoever makes a bequest to someone, whether present or absent, and the beneficiary dies before the one who made the bequest, then the bequest goes to the heir of the beneficiary, unless the testator revokes the bequest before his own death.'"
