تَصَدَّقَ أَبِي عَلَيَّ بِدَارٍ وَ قَبَضْتُهَا ثُمَّ وُلِدَ لَهُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ أَوْلَادٌ فَأَرَادَ أَنْ يَأْخُذَهَا مِنِّي وَ يَتَصَدَّقَ بِهَا عَلَيْهِمْ فَسَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ ذَلِكَ وَ أَخْبَرْتُهُ بِالْقِصَّةِ فَقَالَ لَا تُعْطِهَا إِيَّاهُ قُلْتُ فَإِنَّهُ إِذاً يُخَاصِمُنِي قَالَ فَخَاصِمْهُ وَ لَا تَرْفَعْ صَوْتَكَ عَلَى صَوْتِهِ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Hassan Bin Ali Bin Fazal, from Ibn Bakeyr, from Al Hakam Bin Abu Aqeela who said, ‘My father gave me a house in charity and I took possession of it. Then after that, children were born unto him, so he wanted to take it back from me, and give in charity with it to them (instead). So I asked Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> about that and informed him<sup>asws</sup> with the story. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Do not give it to him’. I said, ‘Then he would dispute with me’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘So dispute with him, but do not raise your voice above his’.
