قُلْتُ لَهُ إِنَّ رَجُلًا أَوْصَى إِلَيَّ فَسَأَلْتُهُ أَنْ يُشْرِكَ مَعِي ذَا قَرَابَةٍ لَهُ فَفَعَلَ وَ ذَكَرَ الَّذِي أَوْصَى إِلَيَّ أَنَّ لَهُ قِبَلَ الَّذِي أَشْرَكَهُ فِي الْوَصِيَّةِ خَمْسِينَ وَ مِائَةَ دِرْهَمٍ عِنْدَهُ رَهْناً بِهَا جَامٌ مِنْ فِضَّةٍ فَلَمَّا هَلَكَ الرَّجُلُ أَنْشَأَ الْوَصِيُّ يَدَّعِي أَنَّ لَهُ قِبَلَهُ أَكْرَارَ حِنْطَةٍ قَالَ إِنْ أَقَامَ الْبَيِّنَةَ وَ إِلَّا فَلَا شَيْ‏ءَ لَهُ قَالَ قُلْتُ لَهُ أَ يَحِلُّ لَهُ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ مِمَّا فِي يَدِهِ شَيْئاً قَالَ لَا يَحِلُّ لَهُ قُلْتُ أَ رَأَيْتَ لَوْ أَنَّ رَجُلًا عَدَا عَلَيْهِ فَأَخَذَ مَالَهُ فَقَدَرَ عَلَى أَنْ يَأْخُذَ مِنْ مَالِهِ مَا أَخَذَ أَ كَانَ ذَلِكَ لَهُ قَالَ إِنَّ هَذَا لَيْسَ مِثْلَ هَذَا .


Translation

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Fazal, from Ali Bin Uqba, from Bureyd Bin Muawiya, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, said, ‘I said to him<sup>asws</sup>, ‘A man bequeathed to me (to be an executor), so I asked that he should associate (someone else) with me who is a near relative of his. So he did it, and he, the one who bequeathed to me, mentioned that for him with the one who is an associate with regards to the bequest, are one hundred and fifty Dirhams as security, a bowl of silver. So when the man died, the executor said that he has a claim against him (the deceased) a certain measurements of wheat. He<sup>asws</sup> said: If he establishes the evidence, otherwise there is nothing for him’. I said to him<sup>asws</sup>, ‘Is it Permissible for him that he takes anything from what is in his hands?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘It is not Permissible for him’. I said, ‘What is your<sup>asws</sup> view, if that man is inimical towards him, so he takes his wealth, and he is able to take from his wealth what he takes, that would be for him?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘This (situation) is not similar to this’.
