Al-Kafi 13332

Translation

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr and Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Jameel Bin Darraj, from Salama Bin Muhraz who said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah^asws, ‘An Armenian man died and bequeathed to me (to be an executor)’. So he^asws said to me: ‘And what is Armenian?’ I said, ‘Nabatean, from the Nabatean people of the mountain, died, and bequeathed to me with his legacy, and left a daughter’. So he^asws said to me: ‘Give her the half’. He (the narrator) said, ‘So I informed Zurara of that, so he said to me, ‘(Out of) dissimulation for you. But rather, the wealth is for her’. So I came up to him^asws afterwards, so I said, ‘May Allah^azwj Keep you well! Our companions are claiming that you^asws were dissimulative to me’. So he^asws said: ‘No, by Allah^azwj, I^asws was not dissimulative to you, but I^asws was protective over you if you were held responsible. So does anyone have the knowledge of that?’ I said, ‘No’. He^asws said: ‘So give her what remains’.
