أَوْصَى أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) بِثَمَانِمِائَةِ دِرْهَمٍ لِمَأْتَمِهِ وَ كَانَ يَرَى ذَلِكَ مِنَ السُّنَّةِ لِأَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) قَالَ اتَّخِذُوا لآِلِ جَعْفَرٍ طَعَاماً فَقَدْ شُغِلُوا .


Translation

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Hammad Bin Isa, from Hareyz, or someone else who said, ‘Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> bequeathed with three hundred Dirhams for mourning him<sup>asws</sup>, and he<sup>asws</sup> used to view that to be from the Sunnah, because Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> said: ‘Take food to the family of Ja’far<sup>as</sup>, for they are too pre-occupied (with their grief)’.
