منصور بن حازم

'I asked Abu Abdullah (as), about a man who, in his will, acknowledged a debt to one of his heirs.' Imam (as) said: "If the deceased was in a sound state of health, then give him what was bequeathed to him."

“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about the case of a man who confirms his owing a certain amount of debts to one of his heirs. He (the Imam) said, ‘If the deceased is one with whom people are happy, then you must pay to the one in whose favor the will is made.’”

"If a man appoints his brother as his executor while he is absent, he does not have the right to reject the will. This is because if he had been present and refused to accept it, the testator would have sought someone else."

"His testimony is accepted, and he is not held financially responsible. However, the slave must work to compensate the share that belonged to the other heirs."

“About the case of a man who dies and leaves behind a slave and certain ones of his children testify that their father had freed the slave. He (the Imam) said, ‘His testimony is permissible, he is not required to compensate and the slave is not required to work to pay for his freedom from the other heirs.’”

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘If a man makes a will in which he appoints his brother as the executor when he is absent, he cannot refuse the appointment for if he was present and refused, another person could have been appointed as the executor.’”

“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about the case of a man who dies and leaves behind an owned slave, but certain ones of the heirs testify that he is free. He (the Imam) said, ‘If the testifying person is an acceptable person his testimony is permissible on his share of the legacy and the slave is made to work to buy his freedom from the rest of the heirs.’”

“About the case of a man who makes a will in the presence of his heirs who give permission but when he dies they disregard it if they can take back what they had agreed, abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘They cannot do so. The will about which the heirs agree in the lifetime of the deceased becomes permissible.’” Abu Ali al-Ash‘ariy has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbar has narrated from Safwan ibn Yahya from Mansur ibn Hazim from abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), a similar Hadith.’”
