نَسَخْتُ مِنْ كِتَابٍ بِخَطِّ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ ( عليه السلام ) فُلَانٌ مَوْلَاكَ تُوُفِّيَ ابْنُ أَخٍ لَهُ وَ تَرَكَ أُمَّ وَلَدٍ لَهُ لَيْسَ لَهَا وَلَدٌ فَأَوْصَى لَهَا بِأَلْفٍ هَلْ تَجُوزُ الْوَصِيَّةُ وَ هَلْ يَقَعُ عَلَيْهَا عِتْقٌ وَ مَا حَالُهَا رَأْيُكَ فَدَتْكَ نَفْسِي فَكَتَبَ ( عليه السلام ) تُعْتَقُ فِي الثُّلُثِ وَ لَهَا الْوَصِيَّةُ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Abu Nasr who said, ‘I copied from a letter in the handwriting of Abu Al-Hassan<sup>asws</sup> having been asked, ‘So and so, your<sup>asws</sup> friend, a cousin of his died leaving the mother of a child of his not having (any other) child for her, so he bequeathed to her with a thousand. Is the bequest allowed, and will the emancipation occur upon her, and what is her state. (What is) your<sup>asws</sup> view? May I be sacrificed for you<sup>asws</sup>’. So he<sup>asws</sup> wrote: ‘She is emancipated with regards to the third, and for her is the bequest’.
