سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ رَجُلٍ وَقَفَ غَلَّةً لَهُ عَلَى قَرَابَةٍ مِنْ أَبِيهِ وَ قَرَابَةٍ مِنْ أُمِّهِ وَ أَوْصَى لِرَجُلٍ وَ لِعَقِبِهِ مِنْ تِلْكَ الْغَلَّةِ لَيْسَ بَيْنَهُ وَ بَيْنَهُ قَرَابَةٌ بِثَلَاثِمِائَةِ دِرْهَمٍ فِي كُلِّ سَنَةٍ وَ يُقْسَمُ الْبَاقِي عَلَى قَرَابَتِهِ مِنْ أَبِيهِ وَ قَرَابَتِهِ مِنْ أُمِّهِ قَالَ جَائِزٌ لِلَّذِي أُوصِيَ لَهُ بِذَلِكَ قُلْتُ أَ رَأَيْتَ إِنْ لَمْ يَخْرُجْ مِنْ غَلَّةِ الْأَرْضِ الَّتِي وَقَفَهَا إِلَّا خَمْسُمِائَةِ دِرْهَمٍ فَقَالَ أَ لَيْسَ فِي وَصِيَّتِهِ أَنْ يُعْطَى الَّذِي أُوصِيَ لَهُ مِنَ الْغَلَّةِ ثَلَاثَمِائَةِ دِرْهَمٍ وَ يُقْسَمَ الْبَاقِي عَلَى قَرَابَتِهِ مِنْ أُمِّهِ وَ قَرَابَتِهِ مِنْ أَبِيهِ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ لَيْسَ لِقَرَابَتِهِ أَنْ يَأْخُذُوا مِنَ الْغَلَّةِ شَيْئاً حَتَّى يُوَفَّى الْمُوصَى لَهُ بِثَلَاثِمِائَةِ دِرْهَمٍ ثُمَّ لَهُمْ مَا يَبْقَى بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ قُلْتُ أَ رَأَيْتَ إِنْ مَاتَ الَّذِي أُوصِيَ لَهُ قَالَ إِنْ مَاتَ كَانَتِ الثَّلَاثُمِائَةِ دِرْهَمٍ لِوَرَثَتِهِ يَتَوَارَثُونَهَا مَا بَقِيَ أَحَدٌ فَإِذَا انْقَطَعَ وَرَثَتُهُ وَ لَمْ يَبْقَ مِنْهُمْ أَحَدٌ كَانَتِ الثَّلَاثُمِائَةِ دِرْهَمٍ لِقَرَابَةِ الْمَيِّتِ تُرَدُّ إِلَى مَا يَخْرُجُ مِنَ الْوَقْفِ ثُمَّ يُقْسَمُ بَيْنَهُمْ يَتَوَارَثُونَ ذَلِكَ مَا بَقُوا وَ بَقِيَتِ الْغَلَّةُ قُلْتُ فَلِلْوَرَثَةِ مِنْ قَرَابَةِ الْمَيِّتِ أَنْ يَبِيعُوا الْأَرْضَ إِذَا احْتَاجُوا وَ لَمْ يَكْفِهِمْ مَا يَخْرُجُ مِنَ الْغَلَّةِ قَالَ نَعَمْ إِذَا رَضُوا كُلُّهُمْ وَ كَانَ الْبَيْعُ خَيْراً لَهُمْ بَاعُوا .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad and Ahmad Bin Muhammad, and Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father both together, from Al Hassan Bin Mahboub, from Ali Bin Raib, from Ja’far Bin Hayyan who said, ‘I asked Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> about a man who dedicated a yield of his upon a relative of his father and a relative of his mother, and bequeathed to a man and his offspring from that yield, not between him and him any relationship, with three hundred Dirhams, during every year, and distributed the remained over his relatives of his father, and relatives of his mother. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Allowed, that which he bequeathed to him with that’. I said, ‘What is your<sup>asws</sup> view if there does not come out a yield from the earth which has been dedicated except for five hundred Dirhams?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Is it not in his bequest that the ones he had bequeathed to should be given three hundred Dirhams from the yield, and the remainder to be distributed upon his relatives of his mother, and relatives of his father?’ I said, ‘Yes’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘There is not for his relatives that they should take from the yield anything, until the beneficiaries he had bequeathed to have been given three hundred Dirhams, then for them would be what remains after that’. I said, ‘What is your view if the beneficiary were to die?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘The three hundred Dirhams would be for their inheritors for as long as one of them remains. So when his inheritors are cut off and there does not remain anyone from among them, the three hundred Dirhams would be for the relatives of the deceased to be returned to what came out from the dedicated land, then it would be distributed between them and they would be inheriting that what remains, and the rest of the yield’. I said, ‘So for the inheritors from the relatives of the deceased is that they can sell the land when they need, and it does not suffice for them what comes out from the yield’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Yes, when all of them are happy and that the selling was better for them, they sell’.
