Al-Kafi 13268

Translation

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Ammar Bin Marwan who said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah^asws, ‘Death presented itself to my father, so it was said to him, ‘Bequeath’. So he said, ‘This is my son’ – meaning Umar – ‘so whatever he does, so he is allowed to do so’. So Abu Abdullah^asws said to him: ‘Your father had bequeathed and it is allowed’. I said to him, ‘So he had ordered to you with such and such’. So he^asws said: ‘Allowed’. I said, ‘And he bequeathed with (the emancipation) of the believing understanding slave-girl, so when I emancipated her it became clear to us that she had yet to come of age’. So he^asws said, ‘It is allowed. But rather, the example of that is like the example of a man who buys a sacrificial animal upon the (understanding) that it is fat, so he finds it as thin. So it counts for him (allowed)’.
