قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ امْرَأَةٌ دَفَعَتْ إِلَى زَوْجِهَا مَالًا مِنْ مَالِهَا لِيَعْمَلَ بِهِ وَ قَالَتْ لَهُ حِينَ دَفَعَتْ إِلَيْهِ أَنْفِقْ مِنْهُ فَإِنْ حَدَثَ بِكَ حَدَثٌ فَمَا أَنْفَقْتَ مِنْهُ حَلَالًا طَيِّباً فَإِنْ حَدَثَ بِي حَدَثٌ فَمَا أَنْفَقْتَ مِنْهُ فَهُوَ حَلَالٌ طَيِّبٌ فَقَالَ أَعِدْ عَلَيَّ يَا سَعِيدُ الْمَسْأَلَةَ فَلَمَّا ذَهَبْتُ أُعِيدُ الْمَسْأَلَةَ عَلَيْهِ اعْتَرَضَ فِيهَا صَاحِبُهَا وَ كَانَ مَعِي حَاضِراً فَأَعَادَ عَلَيْهِ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ أَشَارَ بِإِصْبَعِهِ إِلَى صَاحِبِ الْمَسْأَلَةِ فَقَالَ يَا هَذَا إِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّهَا قَدْ أَفْضَتْ بِذَلِكَ إِلَيْكَ فِيمَا بَيْنَكَ وَ بَيْنَهَا وَ بَيْنَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَحَلَالٌ طَيِّبٌ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ يَقُولُ اللَّهُ جَلَّ اسْمُهُ فِي كِتَابِهِ فَإِنْ طِبْنَ لَكُمْ عَنْ شَيْءٍ مِنْهُ نَفْساً فَكُلُوهُ هَنِيئاً مَرِيئاً .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Husayn Bin Saeed, from Usman Bin Isa, from Saeed Bin Yasaar who said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, ‘May I be sacrificed for you<sup>asws</sup>! A woman handed over some wealth from her own wealth to her husband for him to work with and said to him when she handed it over to him, ‘Spend from it, so if there occurs with you an event (of death), so whatever you would have spent from it would be Permissible and good, and if there occurs with me an event (of death), so whatever I would have spent from it, so it would be Permissible, good’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘O Saeed! Repeat the question to me<sup>asws</sup>’. So when I went on to repeat the question to him<sup>asws</sup>, the person involved in it intervened, and he was present with me, so he repeated to him<sup>asws</sup> similar to that. So when he was free, he<sup>asws</sup> pointed with his<sup>asws</sup> finger to the person involved in the question, and he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘O you! If you knew that she delegated it to you with regards to what is between you and her and Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic, so it is Permissible, good’ – three times. Then he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Allah<sup>azwj</sup>, Majestic is His<sup>azwj</sup> Name is Saying in His<sup>azwj</sup> Book <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:4#h4"><a href="/books/quran:4#h4">[4:4]</a></a> but if they of themselves be pleased to give up to you a portion of it, then eat it with enjoyment and with wholesome result</span>’.
