كُنْتُ أَخْتَلِفُ إِلَى ابْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى فِي مَوَارِيثَ لَنَا لِيَقْسِمَهَا وَ كَانَ فِيهَا حَبِيسٌ وَ كَانَ يُدَافِعُنِي فَلَمَّا طَالَ شَكَوْتُهُ إِلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) فَقَالَ أَ وَ مَا عَلِمَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) أَمَرَ بِرَدِّ الْحَبِيسِ وَ إِنْفَاذِ الْمَوَارِيثِ قَالَ فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَفَعَلَ كَمَا كَانَ يَفْعَلُ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ إِنِّي شَكَوْتُكَ إِلَى جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ ( عليه السلام ) فَقَالَ لِي كَيْتَ وَ كَيْتَ قَالَ فَحَلَّفَنِي ابْنُ أَبِي لَيْلَى أَنَّهُ قَالَ ذَلِكَ لَكَ فَحَلَفْتُ لَهُ فَقَضَى لِي بِذَلِكَ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Abu Abdullah, from his father, from Abdullah Bin Al Mugheira, from Abdul Rahman Al Khash’amy who said, ‘I differed with Ibn Abu Layli with regards to inheritance for us in order to distribute it, and there was in it a withheld asset, and it had been handed over to me. So when the matter prolonged, I complained to Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Or does he not know that Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> ordered with the return of a withheld asset and enforcement of the inheritance?’ He (the narrator) said, ‘So I went over to him, and he did just as he had done. So I said to him, ‘I complained to Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> Bin Muhammad<sup>asws</sup>, so he<sup>asws</sup> said to me such and such’. He said, ‘So Ibn Abu Layli made me swear an oath that he<sup>asws</sup> had indeed said that’. So I swore an oath to him, so he judged for me with that’.
