Hadith.5587 - Musa ibn Bakr narrated from Al-Hakam who said
I said to Abu Abdullah (as): "My father gave me a house in charity, but later he wanted to take it back. However, our judges ruled in my favor."
Imam (as) replied: "What your judges ruled is correct, but what your father did was wrong. Charity is for Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic, and whatever is given for Allah (swt) cannot be taken back. If you argue with him (your father), do not raise your voice against him, and if he raises his voice, lower yours."
I said: "But he has passed away."
Imam (as) said: "Then enjoy it with a clear conscience."
5587 - وَ رَوَى مُوسَى بْنُ بَكْرٍ عَنِ اَلْحَكَمِ قَالَ
قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ إِنَّ وَالِدِي تَصَدَّقَ عَلَيَّ بِدَارٍ ثُمَّ بَدَا لَهُ أَنْ يَرْجِعَ فِيهَا وَ إِنَّ قُضَاتَنَا يَقْضُونَ لِي بِهَا فَقَالَ "نِعْمَ مَا قَضَتْ بِهِ قُضَاتُكُمْ وَ لَبِئْسَ مَا صَنَعَ وَالِدُكَ إِنَّمَا اَلصَّدَقَةُ لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَمَا جُعِلَ لِلَّهِ فَلاَ رَجْعَةَ فِيهِ لَهُ فَإِنْ أَنْتَ خَاصَمْتَهُ فَلاَ تَرْفَعْ عَلَيْهِ صَوْتَكَ وَ إِنْ رَفَعَ صَوْتَهُ فَاخْفِضْ أَنْتَ صَوْتَكَ" قَالَ قُلْتُ لَهُ إِنَّهُ قَدْ تُوُفِّيَ قَالَ "فَأَطِبْ بِهَا".
