سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَسُئِلَ عَنْهُ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) كَيْفَ يُفْعَلُ بِهِ فَأَخْبَرْنَاهُ أَنَّهُ كَانَ لَا يَعْرِفُ هَذَا الْأَمْرَ فَقَالَ لَوْ أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَوْصَى إِلَيَّ أَنْ أَضَعَ فِي يَهُودِيٍّ أَوْ نَصْرَانِيٍّ لَوَضَعْتُهُ فِيهِمَا إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَقُولُ فَمَنْ بَدَّلَهُ بَعْدَ ما سَمِعَهُ فَإِنَّما إِثْمُهُ عَلَى الَّذِينَ يُبَدِّلُونَهُ فَانْظُرُوا إِلَى مَنْ يَخْرُجُ إِلَى هَذَا الْوَجْهِ يَعْنِي [بَعْضَ] الثُّغُورِ فَابْعَثُوا بِهِ إِلَيْهِ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Muhammad Bin Al Waleed, from Yunus Bin Yaqoub that, ‘A man was at Hamdaan mentioned that his father died and he did not recognise this matter (Al-Wilayah), so he bequeathed with a bequest during the death, and bequeathed that something be given in the Way of Allah<sup>azwj</sup> (Jihad). So he asked Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> how he should deal with it. So he informed him<sup>asws</sup> he did not recognise this matter (Al Wilayah)’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Even if a man had bequeathed to me that I<sup>asws</sup> should place it among the Jews or the Christians, I<sup>asws</sup> would have placed among these two. Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic is Saying <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:2#h181"><a href="/books/quran:2#h181">[2:181]</a></a> So the one who alters it after he has heard it, the sin of it then is only upon the one who alters it</span>. Therefore, look at the one who has gone out to these direction, meaning one of the borders, so send it to him’.
