Translation

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Abdullah Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Al Husayn Bin Abu Al A’ala who said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah^asws, ‘What is Permissible for the man from the wealth of his son?’ He^asws said: ‘Subsistence without extravagance when he is desperate to it’. He (the narrator) said, ‘So I said to him^asws, ‘So (what about) the words of Rasool-Allah^saww to the man who came over to him^saww and presented his father, so he^saww said to him: ‘You and your wealth are for your father’. So he^asws said: ‘But rather he came with his father to the Prophet^saww, so he said, ‘O Rasool-Allah^saww! This is my father who has been unjust to me in my inheritance from my mother. So the father informed him^asws and he had spend upon him and upon himself. So he^saww said: ‘You and your wealth are for your father’, and there did not happen to be anything with the man; would Rasool-Allah^saww have withheld the father for the (sake of his) son?’
