سَأَلْتُ عَبْداً صَالِحاً ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ رَجُلٍ هَلَكَ فَأَوْصَى بِعِتْقِ نَسَمَةٍ مُسْلِمَةٍ بِثَلَاثِينَ دِينَاراً فَلَمْ يُوجَدْ لَهُ بِالَّذِي سَمَّى قَالَ مَا أَرَى لَهُمْ أَنْ يَزِيدُوا عَلَى الَّذِي سَمَّى قُلْتُ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَجِدُوا قَالَ فَلْيَشْتَرُوا مِنْ عُرْضِ النَّاسِ مَا لَمْ يَكُنْ نَاصِباً .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Al Husayn Bin Saeed, from Al Qasim Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Abu Hamza who said, ‘I asked Abd Salih<sup>asws</sup> (7<sup>th</sup> Imam<sup>asws</sup>) about a man who perished (died), so he bequeathed for the emancipation of a Muslim person with thirty Dinars. So that could not be found with the named (amount). He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘What I<sup>asws</sup> see is that they should increase upon that which has been named (amount)’. I said, ‘So if it cannot be found?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘So let him buy from the display of the people, but that does not happen to be a Nasibi (Hostile one)’.
