سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ رَجُلٍ أَوْصَى إِلَى رَجُلٍ وَ عَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ فَقَالَ يَقْضِي الرَّجُلُ مَا عَلَيْهِ مِنْ دَيْنِهِ وَ يَقْسِمُ مَا بَقِيَ بَيْنَ الْوَرَثَةِ قُلْتُ فَسُرِقَ مَا كَانَ أَوْصَى بِهِ مِنَ الدَّيْنِ مِمَّنْ يُؤْخَذُ الدَّيْنُ أَ مِنَ الْوَرَثَةِ قَالَ لَا يُؤْخَذُ مِنَ الْوَرَثَةِ وَ لَكِنَّ الْوَصِيَّ ضَامِنٌ لَهَا .
Translation
Al Husayn Bin Muhammad, from Moala Bin Muhammad, from one of his companions, from Aban Bin Usman, from a man who said, ‘I asked Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> about a man who bequeathed to a man and upon him was a debt. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘The man should pay-off whatever was upon him from his debts, and distribute what remains in between the inheritors’. I said, ‘(Supposing) whatever he had bequeathed with from the debts gets stolen, so from which of the inheritors would it be taken from for the debt?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘It will not be taken from the inheritors, but the executor is responsible for it’.
