۞
Hadith.5553 - Abdullah ibn Ja'far Al-Himyari narrated from Al-Hasan ibn Malik, who said
'I wrote to Imam (as) - meaning Imam Ali ibn Muhammad Al-Hadi (as) - about a man who died and had, during his lifetime, given everything he owned to you.
He had no children at the time, but later he had a child. His total wealth amounted to three thousand dirhams, and I have sent you one thousand dirhams.
If you see fit, may Allah (swt) make me your sacrifice, kindly inform me of your opinion so I may act accordingly.'
Imam (as) wrote in response: "Release it to them (the surviving children)."
5553 - وَ رَوَى عَبْدُ اَللَّهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ اَلْحِمْيَرِيُّ عَنِ اَلْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ
كَتَبْتُ إِلَيْهِ يَعْنِي عَلِيَّ بْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ رَجُلٌ مَاتَ وَ جَعَلَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ فِي حَيَاتِهِ لَكَ وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ وَلَدٌ ثُمَّ إِنَّهُ أَصَابَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ وَلَداً وَ مَبْلَغُ مَالِهِ ثَلاَثَةُ آلاَفِ دِرْهَمٍ وَ قَدْ بَعَثْتُ إِلَيْكَ بِأَلْفِ دِرْهَمٍ فَإِنْ رَأَيْتَ جَعَلَنِيَ اَللَّهُ فِدَاكَ أَنْ تُعْلِمَنِي رَأْيَكَ لِأَعْمَلَ بِهِ فَكَتَبَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ "أَطْلِقْ لَهُمْ".
