سَأَلْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ رَجُلٍ هَلَكَ أَخُوهُ وَ تَرَكَ صُنْدُوقاً فِيهِ رُهُونٌ بَعْضُهَا عَلَيْهِ اسْمُ صَاحِبِهِ وَ بِكَمْ هُوَ رُهِنَ وَ بَعْضُهَا لَا يُدْرَى لِمَنْ هُوَ وَ لَا بِكَمْ هُوَ رُهِنَ فَمَا تَرَى فِي هَذَا الَّذِي لَا يُعْرَفُ صَاحِبُهُ فَقَالَ هُوَ كَمَالِهِ .
Translation
Abu Ali Al Ashary, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Jabbar, from Safwan, from Muhammad Bin Rayah Al Qalla’a who said, ‘I asked Abu Al-Hassan<sup>asws</sup> about a man whose brother died and left a box wherein were some security deposits he had held. Upon some was the name of its owner, and with how much it had been mortgaged with, and some of these he did not know who it was for, nor with whom much it had been mortgaged with. So what is your view regarding this the owner of which is not recognised?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘It would be like his own wealth’.
