Hadith.5511 - Zur'ah narrated from Sama'ah, who said
I asked Imam (as) about a man who died and left behind sons and daughters, both young and old, without leaving a will. He also had servants, slaves, and jewelry. How should the heirs divide that inheritance? Imam (as) said: "If a trustworthy man undertakes the division of all that among them, then there is no harm in it."
5511 - رَوَى زُرْعَةُ عَنْ سَمَاعَةَ قَالَ
سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مَاتَ وَ لَهُ بَنُونَ وَ بَنَاتٌ صِغَارٌ وَ كِبَارٌ مِنْ غَيْرِ وَصِيَّةٍ وَ لَهُ خَدَمٌ وَ مَمَالِيكُ وَ عُقَدٌ كَيْفَ يَصْنَعُ اَلْوَرَثَةُ بِقِسْمَةِ ذَلِكَ اَلْمِيرَاثِ قَالَ "إِنْ قَامَ رَجُلٌ ثِقَةٌ قَاسَمَهُمْ ذَلِكَ كُلَّهُ فَلاَ بَأْسَ".
