سَأَلْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ رَجُلٍ مُسَافِرٍ حَضَرَهُ الْمَوْتُ فَدَفَعَ مَالَهُ إِلَى رَجُلٍ مِنَ التُّجَّارِ فَقَالَ إِنَّ هَذَا الْمَالَ لِفُلَانِ بْنِ فُلَانٍ لَيْسَ لِي فِيهِ قَلِيلٌ وَ لَا كَثِيرٌ فَادْفَعْهُ إِلَيْهِ يَضَعُهُ حَيْثُ يَشَاءُ فَمَاتَ وَ لَمْ يَأْمُرْ صَاحِبَهُ الَّذِي جَعَلَ لَهُ بِأَمْرٍ وَ لَا يَدْرِي صَاحِبُهُ مَا الَّذِي حَمَلَهُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ كَيْفَ يَصْنَعُ بِهِ قَالَ يَضَعُهُ حَيْثُ يَشَاءُ إِذَا لَمْ يَكُنْ يَأْمُرُهُ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Sa’ad Bin Ismail Bin Al Ahows, from his father who said, ‘I asked Abu Al-Hassan<sup>asws</sup> about a travelling man to whom death presented itself, so he handed his wealth over to a business man. So he (deceased) said, ‘The wealth is for so and so son of so and so. There is nothing in it for me, little nor more, therefore hand it over to him. He can place it wherever he so desires to’. So the man died and did not order his companion to whom he had made the matter to, nor did he know his companions what is that which he should be carrying upon that. How should he deal with it?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘He places it wherever he so desires to, when there does not happen to be instructions for him’.
