سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) يَقُولُ وَ سَأَلَهُ رَجُلٌ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مَاتَ وَ تَرَكَ ابْنَةَ أُخْتٍ لَهُ وَ تَرَكَ مَوَالِيَ وَ لَهُ عِنْدِي أَلْفُ دِرْهَمٍ وَ لَمْ يَعْلَمْ بِهَا أَحَدٌ فَجَاءَتِ ابْنَةُ أُخْتِهِ فَرَهَنَتْ عِنْدِي مُصْحَفاً فَأَعْطَيْتُهَا ثَلَاثِينَ دِرْهَماً فَقَالَ لِي أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) حِينَ قُلْتُ لَهُ عَلِمَ بِهَا أَحَدٌ قُلْتُ لَا قَالَ فَأَعْطِهَا إِيَّاهَا قِطْعَةً قِطْعَةً وَ لَا تُعْلِمْ أَحَداً .
Translation
Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Hassan Al Taymi, from Muhammad Bin Tasneem the scribe, from Abdul Rahman Bin Amro, and from Muhammad Bin Sinan, from Amro Al Azraq who said, ‘I heard Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> saying, and a man asked him<sup>asws</sup> about a man who died and left a daughter of his sister, and left slaves, and for him, with me are a thousand Dirhams, and no one knows about it. So the daughter of his sister came over and she kept parchments with me as security, so I gave her thirty Dirhams. So Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> said to me: ‘Does anyone know of it?’ I said, ‘No’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘So give her piece by piece, and do not let anyone know’.
