Al-Kafi 13188

Translation

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Umar Bin Azina who said, ‘I witnessed Ibn Abu Layli judge with regards to a man who made the yield of his house to be for one of his relatives and did not stipulate any time period. So the man died, and his inheritors presented themselves to Ibn Abu Layli, and the relative to whom the (yield of the) house was made to be in favour of was (also) present. So Ibn Abu Layli said, ‘I view that it should be left as its owner had left it to be’. So Muhammad Bin Muslim Al-Saqafy said to him, ‘But Ali^asws Bin Abu Talib^asws had judged in this very Masjid opposite to what you have judged!’ So he said, ‘And what taught you (that)?’ He said, ‘I heard Abu Ja’far Muhammad^asws Bin Ali^asws saying: ‘Amir Al-Momineen Ali^asws Bin Abu Talib^asws judged for the reverting of the withheld (assets) and the enforcement of the inheritance’. So Ibn Abu Layli said, ‘This is with you in a book?’ He said, ‘Yes’. He said, ‘So send for it and have it brought to me’. Muhammad Bin Muslim said to him, ‘Upon the condition that you will not look into the book except in that particular Hadeed’. He said, ‘That is up to you’. He (the narrator) said, ‘So he showed him the Hadeeth from Abu Ja’far^asws in the book, so he retracted his judgement’.
