Hadith.5708 - Safwan ibn Yahya narrated from Abdullah ibn Jundub from Hisham ibn Salim who said
Hafs Al-Awar asked Abu Abdullah (as) while I was present, saying:
"My father had a hired worker who had something with him. The worker died, leaving behind no heirs or relatives. I am distressed about this matter; what should I do?"
Abu Abdullah (as) replied: "The needy are more deserving of it, the needy are more deserving of it."
I said: "May I be your ransom! I am still troubled by this matter; what should I do?"
Imam (as) said: "Treat it as you would treat your own wealth. If someone comes claiming it, give it to them."
5708 - وَ رَوَى صَفْوَانُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ جُنْدَبٍ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ قَالَ
سَأَلَ حَفْصٌ اَلْأَعْوَرُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ وَ أَنَا حَاضِرٌ فَقَالَ :
كَانَ لِأَبِي أَجِيرٌ وَ كَانَ لَهُ عِنْدَهُ شَيْءٌ فَهَلَكَ اَلْأَجِيرُ فَلَمْ يَدَعْ وَارِثاً وَ لاَ قَرَابَةً وَ قَدْ ضِقْتُ بِذَلِكَ كَيْفَ أَصْنَعُ فَقَالَ "رَابَكَ اَلْمَسَاكِينُ رَابَكَ اَلْمَسَاكِينُ"
فَقُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ إِنِّي قَدْ ضِقْتُ بِذَلِكَ كَيْفَ أَصْنَعُ فَقَالَ "هُوَ كَسَبِيلِ مَالِكَ فَإِنْ جَاءَ طَالِبٌ أَعْطَيْتَهُ".
