سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ رَجُلٍ مَاتَ وَ لَهُ بَنُونَ وَ بَنَاتٌ صِغَارٌ وَ كِبَارٌ مِنْ غَيْرِ وَصِيَّةٍ وَ لَهُ خَدَمٌ وَ مَمَالِيكُ وَ عُقَدٌ كَيْفَ يَصْنَعُ الْوَرَثَةُ بِقِسْمَةِ ذَلِكَ الْمِيرَاثِ قَالَ إِنْ قَامَ رَجُلٌ ثِقَةٌ قَاسَمَهُمْ ذَلِكَ كُلَّهُ فَلَا بَأْسَ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from zurara, from Sama’at who said, ‘I asked Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> about a man who died intestate (without leaving a will) and for him were sons and daughters, young and old, and for him were servants and slaves, and contracted ones. How should the inheritors deal with the distribution of that inheritance?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘If a reliable man stands to distribute all of that for them, so there is no problem’.
