كَتَبْتُ إِلَى أَبِي الْحَسَنِ ( عليه السلام ) أَسْأَلُهُ عَنْ إِنْسَانٍ أَوْصَى بِوَصِيَّةٍ فَلَمْ يَحْفَظِ الْوَصِيُّ إِلَّا بَاباً وَاحِداً مِنْهَا كَيْفَ يَصْنَعُ فِي الْبَاقِي فَوَقَّعَ ( عليه السلام ) الْأَبْوَابُ الْبَاقِيَةُ يَجْعَلُهَا فِي الْبِرِّ .


Translation

A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Muhammad Bin Al Rayyan who said, ‘I wrote to Abu Al-Hassan<sup>asws</sup> asking him about a human being who bequeathed with a bequest, but the executor did not memorise it except for one aspect from it. How should he deal with the remainder?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> signed: ‘The remaining aspect, he should make it among the righteous (causes)’.
