Hadith 538
۞
Hadith.5509 - Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Abi Nasr narrated from Abu Jamilah from Imam Ali ibn Musa Ar-Ridha (as), who said
I asked him about a man who bequeathed a sword to another man, and the sword was in its sheath and adorned with decorations. The heirs said to him, "Only the blade belongs to you, not the sword (with its accessories)."
Imam (as) said: "No, rather the sword with everything it contains belongs to him."
I said to Imam (as): "A man bequeathed a box to another man, and there was money inside it. The heirs said: 'Only the box belongs to you, not the money.'"
Imam (as) said: "The box with everything it contains belongs to him."

سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ أَوْصَى لِرَجُلٍ بِسَيْفٍ وَ كَانَ فِي جَفْنٍ وَ عَلَيْهِ حِلْيَةٌ فَقَالَ لَهُ اَلْوَرَثَةُ إِنَّمَا لَكَ اَلنَّصْلُ وَ لَيْسَ لَكَ اَلسَّيْفُ فَقَالَ "لاَ بَلِ اَلسَّيْفُ بِمَا فِيهِ لَهُ" قَالَ قُلْتُ لَهُ رَجُلٌ أَوْصَى بِصُنْدُوقٍ لِرَجُلٍ وَ كَانَ فِيهِ مَالٌ فَقَالَ اَلْوَرَثَةُ إِنَّمَا لَكَ اَلصُّنْدُوقُ وَ لَيْسَ لَكَ اَلْمَالُ فَقَالَ "اَلصُّنْدُوقُ بِمَا فِيهِ لَهُ".
