Al-Kafi 13109

Translation

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Hajaaj Al Khashab, (The narrator says): ‘I asked Abu Abdullah^asws about a woman who bequeathed to me with wealth that I should make it to be in the Way of Allah^azwj. So it was said to her, ‘We can perform Hajj with it?’ So she said, ‘Make it to be in the Way of Allah^azwj’. So they said to her, ‘Shall we give it to the Progeny^asws of Muhammad^saww?’ She said, ‘Make it to be in the Way of Allah^azwj’. So Abu Abdullah^asws said: ‘Make it to be in the Way of Allah^azwj just as she had ordered’. I said, ‘Order me how I should make it to be’. He^asws said: ‘Make it to be just as she had ordered you. Allah^azwj Blessed and High 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; surely Allah is Hearing, Knowing</span>. Do you see that if she had ordered you to give it to a Jew, would you have given it to a Christian?’ He (the narrator) said, ‘So I remained after that, for three years, then I came over to him^asws, so I said to him^asws similar to what I had said the first time. So he^asws was silent for a while, then said: ‘Give it’. I said, ‘Whom what I give it to?’ He^asws said: ‘Isa Shalqan’.
