إِنَّ رَجُلًا مَاتَ وَ أَوْصَى إِلَيَّ وَ إِلَى آخَرَ أَوْ إِلَى رَجُلَيْنِ فَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا خُذْ نِصْفَ مَا تَرَكَ وَ أَعْطِنِي النِّصْفَ مِمَّا تَرَكَ فَأَبَى عَلَيْهِ الْآخَرُ فَسَأَلُوا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ ذَلِكَ لَهُ .
Translation
Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Hassan, from both his brothers Muhammad and Ahmad, from the father of them both, from Dawood Bin Abu Yazeed, from Bureyd Bin Muawiya who said, ‘A man died and bequeathed to me and to another, or two men (to be executors). So one of the two said, ‘You take half of what has been left (legacy) and give me the (other) half from what has been left (legacy). So the other one refused him. So Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> was asked about that, so he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘That is for him (that he should refuse to take the half but they both should act as per the original bequest)’.
