سَأَلْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ رَجُلٍ تَرَكَ أُمَّهُ وَ أَخَاهُ قَالَ يَا شَيْخُ تُرِيدُ عَلَى الْكِتَابِ قَالَ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ كَانَ عَلِيٌّ ( عليه السلام ) يُعْطِي الْمَالَ الْأَقْرَبَ فَالْأَقْرَبَ قَالَ قُلْتُ فَالْأَخُ لَا يَرِثُ شَيْئاً قَالَ قَدْ أَخْبَرْتُكَ أَنَّ عَلِيّاً ( عليه السلام ) كَانَ يُعْطِي الْمَالَ الْأَقْرَبَ فَالْأَقْرَبَ .
Translation
Al Husayn Bin Muhammad, from Moala Bin Muhammad, from Al Hassan Bin Ali, from Hammad Bin Usman who said, ‘I asked Abu Al-Hassan<sup>asws</sup> about a man who left his mother, and his brother. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘O Sheikh! Do you want (to be answered) upon the Book (Quran)?’ I said, ‘Yes’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Ali<sup>asws</sup> used to give the wealth to the closest (relative), so it is for the closest’. I said, ‘So the brother does not inherit anything?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘I have informed you that Ali<sup>asws</sup> used to give the wealth to the closest (relative), so it is for the closest.’
