سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ رَجُلٍ أَوْصَى لِرَجُلٍ بِصُنْدُوقٍ وَ كَانَ فِي الصُّنْدُوقِ مَالٌ فَقَالَ الْوَرَثَةُ إِنَّمَا لَكَ الصُّنْدُوقُ وَ لَيْسَ لَكَ مَا فِيهِ فَقَالَ الصُّنْدُوقُ بِمَا فِيهِ لَهُ .


Translation

From him, from Ali Bin Uqba, from his father who said, ‘I asked Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> about a man who bequeathed to a man with a container, and there was wealth in the container. So the inheritors said, ‘For you is the container, and whatever is in it is not for you’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘The container along with whatever is in it, is for him’.
