Hadith 611
۞
Hadith.5582 - Abdullah ibn Al-Mughirah narrated from Abdur-Rahman Al-Ju'fi, who said
I used to frequently go to Ibn Abi Layla regarding an inheritance matter of ours so that he could divide it. Part of the estate included a habis (a temporary endowment), but he kept postponing the matter. When this delay persisted, I complained about him to Abu Abdullah (as).
Abu Abdullah (as) said: "Does he not know that the Messenger of Allah (swt), peace and blessings be upon him and his family, commanded the revocation of habis and the execution of inheritance distribution?"
So, I returned to Ibn Abi Layla, and he continued as before. I then said to him:
"I have complained about you to Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as), peace be upon him, and He (as) told me such and such."
Ibn Abi Layla made me swear that Abu Abdullah Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) had indeed said that. I swore to him, and as a result, he ruled in my favor accordingly.
5582 - وَ رَوَى عَبْدُ اَللَّهِ بْنُ اَلْمُغِيرَةِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَلرَّحْمَنِ اَلْجُعْفِيِّ قَالَ
كُنْتُ أَخْتَلِفُ إِلَى اِبْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى فِي مَوَارِيثَ لَنَا لِيَقْسِمَهَا وَ كَانَ فِيهِ حَبِيسٌ فَكَانَ يُدَافِعُنِي فَلَمَّا طَالَ ذَلِكَ شَكَوْتُهُ إِلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ فَقَالَ "أَ وَ مَا عَلِمَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ أَمَرَ بِرَدِّ اَلْحَبِيسِ وَ إِنْفَاذِ اَلْمَوَارِيثِ" قَالَ فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَفَعَلَ كَمَا كَانَ يَفْعَلُ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ إِنِّي شَكَوْتُكَ إِلَى جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ فَقَالَ لِي كَيْتَ وَ كَيْتَ قَالَ فَحَلَّفَنِي اِبْنُ أَبِي لَيْلَى أَنَّهُ قَدْ قَالَ ذَلِكَ فَحَلَفْتُ لَهُ فَقَضَى لِي بِذَلِكَ.
