قُلْتُ لِأَبِي الْحَسَنِ ( عليه السلام ) إِنَّ أُمِّي تَصَدَّقَتْ عَلَيَّ بِدَارٍ لَهَا أَوْ قَالَ بِنَصِيبٍ لَهَا فِي دَارٍ فَقَالَتْ لِيَ اسْتَوْثِقْ لِنَفْسِكَ فَكَتَبْتُ عَلَيْهَا أَنِّي اشْتَرَيْتُ وَ أَنَّهَا قَدْ بَاعَتْنِي وَ قَبَضَتِ الثَّمَنَ فَلَمَّا مَاتَتْ قَالَ الْوَرَثَةُ احْلِفْ أَنَّكَ اشْتَرَيْتَ وَ نَقَدْتَ الثَّمَنَ فَإِنْ حَلَفْتُ لَهُمْ أَخَذْتُهُ وَ إِنْ لَمْ أَحْلِفْ لَهُمْ لَمْ يُعْطُونِي شَيْئاً قَالَ فَقَالَ فَاحْلِفْ لَهُمْ وَ خُذْ مَا جَعَلَتْهُ لَكَ .
Translation
Abu Ali Al Ashary, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Jabbar, from Safwan Bin Yahya, from Muhammad Bin Muslim, from Muhammad Bin Masoud Al Taiy who said, ‘I said to Abu Al-Hassan<sup>asws</sup> that ‘My mother gave charity to me with a house of hers’, or I said, ‘With her share in a house’. So she said to me, ‘Secure it for yourself’. So I wrote to her that I have bought it, and that she had sold it to me and taken possession of the price’. So when she died, the inheritors said, ‘Swear an oath that you had bought it and paid the cash price’. So if I were to swear an oath to them, I would take it, and if I were not to swear to them, they would not give me anything’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘So swear an oath to them and take what she had made it to be for you’.
