قُلْتُ رَوَى بَعْضُ مَوَالِيكَ عَنْ آبَائِكَ ( عليهم السلام ) أَنَّ كُلَّ وَقْفٍ إِلَى وَقْتٍ مَعْلُومٍ فَهُوَ وَاجِبٌ عَلَى الْوَرَثَةِ وَ كُلَّ وَقْفٍ إِلَى غَيْرِ وَقْتٍ مَعْلُومٍ جَهْلٌ مَجْهُولٌ بَاطِلٌ مَرْدُودٌ عَلَى الْوَرَثَةِ وَ أَنْتَ أَعْلَمُ بِقَوْلِ آبَائِكَ فَكَتَبَ ( عليه السلام ) هُوَ عِنْدِي كَذَا .
Translation
Ali Bin Mahziyar said, (To Imam Al-Baqir<sup>asws</sup>), ‘One of those in your<sup>asws</sup> Wilayah reported from your<sup>asws</sup> forefathers<sup>asws</sup> that every dedication of a known time period, so it is Obligatory upon the inheritors, and every dedication for an unknown time period, is an ignorance, unknown, invalid, to be returned to the inheritors, and you<sup>asws</sup> are more knowing of the speech of your<sup>asws</sup> forefathers<sup>asws</sup>’. So he<sup>asws</sup> wrote: ‘It is with me<sup>asws</sup>, as such’.
