أَوْصَى إِلَيَّ رَجُلٌ وَ تَرَكَ خَمْسَمِائَةِ دِرْهَمٍ أَوْ سِتَّمِائَةِ دِرْهَمٍ وَ تَرَكَ ابْنَةً وَ قَالَ لِي عَصَبَةٌ بِالشَّامِ فَسَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ أَعْطِ الِابْنَةَ النِّصْفَ وَ الْعَصَبَةَ النِّصْفَ الْآخَرَ فَلَمَّا قَدِمْتُ الْكُوفَةَ أَخْبَرْتُ أَصْحَابَنَا بِقَوْلِهِ فَقَالُوا اتَّقَاكَ فَأَعْطَيْتُ الِابْنَةَ النِّصْفَ الْآخَرَ ثُمَّ حَجَجْتُ فَلَقِيتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ بِمَا قَالَ أَصْحَابُنَا وَ أَخْبَرْتُهُ أَنِّي دَفَعْتُ النِّصْفَ الْآخَرَ إِلَى الِابْنَةِ فَقَالَ أَحْسَنْتَ إِنَّمَا أَفْتَيْتُكَ مَخَافَةَ الْعَصَبَةِ عَلَيْكَ .
Translation
Humeyd Bin iyad, from Al Hassan Bin Muhammad Bin Sama’at, from Abdullah Bin Jabala, from Abdullah Bin Bukeyr, from Hama Bin Humran, from Abdul Hameed Al Taiy, from Abdullah Bin Muhra Bayaa Al Qalanis who said, ‘A man bequeathed to me (to be an executor) and left five hundred Dirhams, or six hundred Dirhams, and left a daughter, and said to me, ‘Paternal relatives are at Syria’. So I asked Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> about that, so he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Give the daughter half, and give the other half to the paternal relatives’. So when I proceeded to Al-Kufa, I informed our companions of his<sup>asws</sup> speech, so they said, ‘(Out of) dissimulation for you’. So I gave the other half to the daughter, then I went for Hajj. So I met Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> and informed him<sup>asws</sup> with what our companions had said, and I informed him<sup>asws</sup> that I had handed over the other half to the daughter’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘You have done good. But rather I<sup>asws</sup> was dissimulative to you out of fear of the paternal relatives over you’.
