كَتَبَ الْخَلِيلُ بْنُ هَاشِمٍ إِلَى ذِي الرِّئَاسَتَيْنِ وَ هُوَ وَالِي نَيْسَابُورَ أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْمَجُوسِ مَاتَ وَ أَوْصَى لِلْفُقَرَاءِ بِشَيْءٍ مِنْ مَالِهِ فَأَخَذَهُ قَاضِي نَيْسَابُورَ فَجَعَلَهُ فِي فُقَرَاءِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَكَتَبَ الْخَلِيلُ إِلَى ذِي الرِّئَاسَتَيْنِ بِذَلِكَ فَسَأَلَ الْمَأْمُونَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ لَيْسَ عِنْدِي فِي ذَلِكَ شَيْءٌ فَسَأَلَ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ ( عليه السلام ) فَقَالَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ ( عليه السلام ) إِنَّ الْمَجُوسِيَّ لَمْ يُوصِ لِفُقَرَاءِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَ لَكِنْ يَنْبَغِي أَنْ يُؤْخَذَ مِقْدَارُ ذَلِكَ الْمَالِ مِنْ مَالِ الصَّدَقَةِ فَيُرَدَّ عَلَى فُقَرَاءِ الْمَجُوسِ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Abu Talib Abdullah Bin Al Salt who said, ‘Al-Khaleel Bin Hashim wrote to Zil Riyasatayn (One with two governerships), and he was the governor at Neysabour, that a man from the Magians had died and bequeathed to the poor with something from his wealth. So the judge of Neysabour took possession and made it to be among the poor Muslims. So Al-Khaleel wrote to Zil Riyasatayn and said. So he asked Al-Mamoun about that. So he said, ‘There is nothing with me with regards to that, anything’. So he asked Abu Al-Hassan<sup>asws</sup>. So Abu Al-Hassan<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘The Magians do not bequeath of the poor Muslims, but it is befitting that you take the measured amount of that wealth from the charity monies (from the public treasury), so it should be distributed upon the poor Magians’.
